Cylect AI by the numbers
Live Intel Map
From orbit to the street corner.
Satellites, aircraft, ships, earthquakes, hurricanes with forecast cones, live clouds, lightning and wind, naval deployments, undersea cables and GPS jamming on a 3D globe. Zoom in and the globe hands off to street imagery with live traffic and buses, ALPR and Flock readers showing which way they face, speed cameras, cell towers, data centers and mesh radio nodes.
Every layer above is free with an account. No card, no trial clock. Paid plans add the AI analyst, isolated browser sessions and the private tool catalog.
No repo to clone, no Docker, no personal map or imagery keys. Compare with self-hosted God's Eye View.
New · Field operations
The map that drives with you.
Take the intel map into the field with advance community alerts. Included with every registered account, including all paid plans.
Drive Mode
Fullscreen in-car HUD with speed, compass heading, big touch controls, and your cameras, aircraft and police layers kept on.
Turn-by-turn navigation
Route from A to B, reach rural dirt-road addresses, and pick up your route again if the browser closes.
Property & land intel
Tap a parcel for its address and aerial preview, see public vs. private land nationwide, then tap Route here.
Advance road alerts
See nearby police, crashes, hazards and closures ahead, with distinct map icons and optional sound. Community reports are unverified and coverage varies.
Already subscribed? These driving updates are included at no extra charge. Paid plans also remove ads and add AI research. GPS and heading permission are needed for advance warnings; pull over or ask a passenger to submit reports. See what your plan includes.
OPSEC built in
Your investigations stay yours.
Investigators need privacy as much as data. Cylect is built so your targets, notes and location never leak, to other users or to us.
Zero-knowledge case notes
Lock any case's notes with a passphrase. They're encrypted in your browser (AES-256-GCM) before saving, so nobody at Cylect can read them.
Every account walled off
Cases, targets, pins and mind maps are tied to your account at the database level. Other users can't read them, even with a valid login.
No GPS spying
Your live location stays in your browser. It's never sent to our servers, stored, or shown to anyone else.
Pseudonymous reports
Community reports never reveal who posted them, use rounded coordinates and expire automatically.

How we answer the guide's OPSEC rubric
[T] Training
Cylect doesn't train AI models on your cases, targets or uploads. For zero third-party exposure, switch to your own local model.
[D] Deployment control
Paid plans can connect Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM or any OpenAI-compatible model. Your browser talks to it directly, with no Cylect server in between.
[R] Retention
Case notes can be encrypted in your browser (AES-256-GCM) before saving. Local model keys stay in your session unless you choose to remember them.
Built by a security engineer, CISSP. Cylect is created by Jake A (nullze), who found the Tesla web interface vulnerability CVE-2020-10558 and has worked as a Security Engineer at NASA, Senior Security Engineer at Malwarebytes and Detection Engineer at Affirm.

Become a partnerNews Watch Floor
A newsroom wall for your second monitor.
Live news streams in a 1, 2 or 4-up video wall, a breaking ticker and categorized wires for geopolitics, OSINT, cyber, UAP and the Epstein files. Add your own RSS feeds and streams, then get an AI flash briefing with numbered source citations.
The watch floor is free with an account, including your own RSS feeds and streams. The AI flash briefing needs a plan.
Journalists & newsrooms
Find the story before the press conference.
Second-screen watch floor. Live streams, wires and AI briefings running beside your draft.
Primary sources, linked. Map points and wire items link back to USGS, NOAA, CourtListener and the original publisher.
Safer research. Look into targets from an isolated cloud browser instead of your newsroom laptop.
OSINT analysts & security teams
Pivots, not promises. Case files, not chat logs.
475+ curated tools. Username, email, domain, breach and wallet lookups, recommended in context.
Planet to street. Track a ship or aircraft, then zoom to the cameras and plate readers on the block.
Bring your own agent. Connect Claude, Cursor or OpenWebUI over MCP with revocable API keys.

Data sources and integrations
Bring your own local AI · Personal $15
"OpenAI CEO says it's 'quite terrible' for your PC to have RAM. Sam Altman says data centers offer better utilization."The headline that got us building
We think your RAM is great. Use it.
Big AI companies would rather rent you their computers. Cylect lets you plug your own local model into the investigation workspace, so it runs your mind map and tool searches while your data stays on your own machine.
Runs on your hardware
Point the workspace at Ollama, LM Studio, Unsloth Studio, vLLM or llama.cpp. Replies stream word by word from your own GPU.
Prompts never touch our servers
Your browser talks straight to your model. Case notes and targets stay on your machine, not in someone else's data center.
No per-token meter
Local turns don't use your Cylect AI allowance. Your model can build mind maps and load tool searches as often as you like.
Keep your RAM
Buy the memory, own the model and keep running it. You don't need anyone's permission.
Local AI is included with every paid plan, including the $5 day pass. Your model server needs to allow requests from this site; the guide shows how.
MCP server included
Bring your own AI agent.
Cylect AI is a full MCP server. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-compatible assistant and it can search the 475+ tool catalog, read your investigations, add mind-map findings and pin locations - signed in as you, with your plan's limits.
