Narratives AI Just Got Better: Introducing Bluesky Data, Location Filtering & Narrative Spotlight

At Pulsar, we’re constantly evolving Narratives AI, the first search engine for public opinion. And today, we’re unveiling three major updates that make understanding public discourse even more powerful and intuitive.

These new capabilities now make it even more easier to understand how narratives truly form, spread, and influence audiences across platforms, geographies, and communities.

Bluesky Data Integration: Expanding the Conversation

We’ve expanded our data coverage to include Bluesky, one of the fastest-growing social platforms for public discussion. With nearly 40 million users, Bluesky has become a vibrant hub for academics, journalists, activists, and thought leaders; the communities that often shape the narratives driving politics, culture, and business before they hit the mainstream.
By integrating Bluesky into Narratives AI, you now gain a more balanced and multi-dimensional view of public opinion, reducing over-reliance on X (Twitter) and ensuring your insights reflect a wider range of voices.

Key Benefits of Bluesky

• Expanded data coverage: Bluesky content is now ingested, processed, and clustered as part of Public data in Narratives AI, alongside X data.
• Multi-platform view of narratives: Analyze public conversations with greater clarity and context from more than one social source, providing richer and more representative insights that reflect public opinion more accurately.
• Greater diversity in discourse: Capture narratives across different communities and demographics, ensuring your analysis reflects a wider range of voices.

Location Filtering: Adding a Geographic Lens to Narrative Analysis

Narratives are not universal, they often resonate differently across regions. With location filtering, you can now search and analyze narratives based on where they originate and where they’re most prominent. This new capability adds a crucial geographic dimension, allowing you to:

• Identify where narratives originate and where they gain traction.
• Compare how narratives resonate across different markets.
• Spot regional dominance and variations at a glance.
• Extract location-specific insights to guide strategy and decision-making.

You can filter both Public and Media Narratives by location, view tagged countries for each narrative, and explore an interactive map in the Narrative Spotlight view, complete with colour intensity indicators showing regional narrative strength.

Narrative Spotlight: Smarter Insights Powered by AI

We have expanded the analytical depth of Narratives by introducing LLM-inferred insights, powered by Deep Seek. These enrichments provide contextual intelligence far beyond basic summarization, helping users understand not just what a narrative is, but why it matters, who is driving it, and what impact it could have. This new layer of analysis transforms Narratives AI into a strategic tool for understanding and decision-making.

Each narrative is now enriched with AI-generated insights across a wide range of dimensions, including:

• Origins and context: Where and how the narrative began.
• Key audiences: Communities engaging with and amplifying the conversation.
• Influential figures: Public personalities or creators shaping its direction.
• Cultural alignment: Broader movements or trends the narrative connects to.
• Brand and industry relevance: Which organizations are affected or involved.
• Social, political, and economic drivers:  Underlying forces fueling discourse.
• Predicted outcomes: How the narrative may evolve over time.

These LLM-powered insights, in addition to other insights we already provide, like narrative summary, size,  growth, location and interest, synthesize patterns across platforms and communities in real time, helping you see the bigger picture behind every narrative and transform narratives into actionable intelligence.

All these features: Bluesky Data, Location Filtering, and Narrative Spotlight are live in Narratives AI today. If you’re a Pulsar user, simply log in to explore the updates and start uncovering deeper insights.
