GIA, Global Intelligence Analysis, is a desktop intelligence workstation. It brings live reports from 100 official and open sources onto one map, grades every item, and links it to the original. Free to use, private by design.
Free · Windows 10 and 11 · No account needed to start · Updated 7 October 2026
GIA keeps facts and judgements apart. Facts come with their source and how well they are confirmed; assessments are labelled, with their likelihood and confidence.
Fighting, strikes, air-raid alerts, protests and natural hazards as they are reported, on a map you can read at a glance.
Twenty-five wars, insurgencies and standoffs, each with its parties and their roles.
A brief for every country and region, built from public data and kept current.
Issued at 08:00 US Eastern: what changed overnight and what it means.
Step through how a crisis could unfold, phase by phase, on the satellite map. Experimental, and clearly marked as hypothetical throughout.
Ask about any country, conflict or trend for the bottom line, the reasoning and what to watch. Gia runs on your own computer: your questions never leave it.
37 modules on human-source collection from the public U.S. Army manual FM 2-22.3, with exercises, a printable worksheet, and Gia to teach each lesson.
Share notes, reports and chat with your team, encrypted end to end so the relay only ever sees scrambled text. Creating a room is Pro; anyone you invite can join free.
The ORBAT browser and an order of battle in every country brief, drawn with NATO military symbols (APP-6), from a U.S./NATO or a neutral point of view.
Point at a service rifle or artillery system for its photo, range, rate of fire, operating system and calibre; click for the full article.
One subscription, five people: everything in Pro for a newsroom, a class or a research group, with seats you can swap any time.
GIA does not track you. What you keep in it is encrypted on your own computer.
Notes, favourites, settings and team rooms are sealed with AES-256 using a key held in your computer's own key store. Add a passphrase to lock GIA completely.
Everything shared in a team room is encrypted before it leaves your computer, with a key from the room's passphrase.
Open GIA in a private session and nothing you look at, search or write is kept once it closes.
No adverts, no analytics, no trackers. Your information is never sold or shared. This website doesn't track you either.
API keys and your sign-in live in your computer's key store, never in GIA's files or on its server.
Facts come from named sources, not AI. The only model is a free, open one that runs locally, and what it writes is labelled.
Read the privacy policy for exactly what is kept and why.
Most of GIA is free, for good. Pro adds the analysis, the Daily Brief and the HUMINT course, with the first week free. Team brings Pro to five people.
The map and the Wire need no account at all.

Yes. The live map and the Wire work without an account. A free account adds every map layer and filter, country briefs, Conflicts, Terror Orgs, the globe, the ORBAT browser and live cameras, and lets you join a team room. GIA Pro adds the analysis (Gia, the AI analyst, the Daily Brief and the HUMINT course), simulation mode, PDF briefs and CSV exports, and creating team rooms.
From the organisations that publish it: official government and international feeds, conflict datasets such as UCDP and GDELT, research institutes, newsrooms, and open data such as Wikidata and OpenStreetMap. GIA reaches them through their official interfaces and published files. Every item names its source, carries an Admiralty grade and a verification status, and links to the original.
As little as possible. Facts come from the sources, not from AI. The only AI is a free, open-weights model that runs on a computer, not a cloud AI service: on yours for Gia and the AI analyst, and on the developer's for the assessment in the published Daily Brief. Anything it writes is labelled and kept apart from the facts.
GIA itself runs on any 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 PC. Gia and the AI analyst run a local model through the free Ollama app: a graphics card with about 10 GB of memory runs it comfortably, and it still works, more slowly, without one. The Daily Brief is written on the developer's computer and published to subscribers, so it needs nothing from yours.
No. There are no adverts, no analytics and no tracking services, and your information is never sold or shared. The details are in the privacy policy.
No. GIA is independent open-source analysis, built by one developer. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or speaking for any government or agency.
GIA is available for Windows now. macOS and Linux builds are being prepared.
Yes. GIA Pro and GIA Team start with 7 days free. PayPal takes the first payment when the week ends; cancel before then and you pay nothing.
Students, journalists and nonprofits pay half: $7.50 a month or $72 a year. In GIA, go to Settings → Contact the developer, say which applies and how it can be checked (a school or work email, a press card, a charity number), and you get a code to enter when you subscribe.
One person subscribes for $49 a month and adds up to four teammates by their GIA usernames. Each teammate signs in to their own free account on their own PC and has everything in GIA Pro. Seats can be swapped at any time, and a teammate can leave whenever they like.
In GIA under Settings → Subscription, or in your PayPal account. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for.
