Taranis AI is an advanced Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) tool, leveraging Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize information gathering and situational analysis.
Taranis navigates through diverse data sources like websites to collect unstructured news articles, utilizing Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence to enhance content quality. Analysts then refine these AI-augmented articles into structured reports that serve as the foundation for deliverables such as PDF files, which are ultimately published.
For production deployments, see our Deployment Guide using docker compose
For existing Celery/RabbitMQ deployments, see the RQ Migration Guide.
We welcome contributions from the community! If you're interested in contributing to Taranis AI, please read our Development Setup Guide to get started.
See taranis.ai/media for a presentations about the current features.
See taranis.ai for documentation of user stories and deployment guides.

- Advanced OSINT Capabilities: Taranis AI scours multiple data sources, such as websites, for unstructured news articles, providing a comprehensive intelligence feed.
- AI-Enhanced Analysis: Utilizes Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing to automatically enhance and enrich collected articles for higher content quality.
- Analyst-Friendly Workflow: Offers a streamlined process where analysts can easily convert unstructured news into structured report items, optimizing the data transformation journey.
- Multi-Format Output: Generates a variety of end products, including structured reports and PDF files, tailored to specific informational needs.
- Seamless Publishing: Facilitates the effortless publication of finalized intelligence products, ensuring timely dissemination of critical information.
- Collaborative Threat Intelligence (Experimental): Supports Story-level sharing between Taranis AI instances via MISP, or directly between Taranis AI and MISP for flexible collaboration and information dissemination.
An OpenAPI spec for the REST API is included and can be accessed in a running installation under config/openapi.
Core exposes two unauthenticated health-related endpoints:
/api/isaliveis a lightweight liveness probe and only confirms that the core API process is responding./api/healthis the operational health endpoint and reports the status of core dependencies withup,down, orn/aand returns 503 if any dependency isdownand 200 otherwise.
To use all NLP features make sure to have at least: 16 GB RAM, 4 CPU cores and 50GB of disk storage.
Without NLP: 2 GB of RAM, 2 CPU cores and 20 GB of disk storage
