Iris AI Assistant analyzing investigative data

Project Overview

Iris is 4Sight’s AI-powered investigative assistant that helps investigators quickly uncover relevant content and patterns across datasets through a natural, conversational interface. As part of JSI’s next-generation digital intelligence platform, Iris transforms how law enforcement and intelligence agencies analyze complex investigative data.

Key Capabilities

Generative AI for Search & Discovery

  • Natural Language Queries: Responds to investigative questions in plain English, scanning across disparate data sources
  • Contextual Insights: Proactively generates context-rich insights, highlighting key entities, locations, and topics for each data item
  • Cross-Dataset Analysis: Identifies insights and prioritizes information across multiple data types into easily digestible summaries
  • Follow-up Dialogue: Seamlessly transitions into conversational experience for deeper exploration and tracing connections

Multi-Modal Processing

  • Language Analytics: Automatically converts speech to actionable text, streamlines transcription and translation, identifies speakers
  • Vision Analytics: Analyzes vast image collections to identify objects, faces, and extract text with automated content detection
  • Investigative Assistance: Uses advanced generative AI large language models to provide comprehensive analysis

Technical Foundation
