What opsci.ai does

Opsci.ai (legal entity: OPINIONSCIENCE) is a Paris-headquartered research consultancy and digital intelligence laboratory that applies AI-powered data processing methodologies to opinion analysis, risk assessment, and detection of informational threats, often framed as 'narrative competition.' Its work spans open-source social and open-data analysis, OSINT investigations, narrative and emotion analysis at scale, stakeholder mapping (KOLs/DOLs), crisis simulation, and LLM auditing and alignment. The firm serves governments and public administrations (e.g., DINUM/Etalab for the Albert public-service copilot), defense organizations (Pôle d'Excellence Cyber), political foundations (Fondation Jean-Jaurès), think tanks (European Climate Foundation, E3G, Counterpoint), NGOs, and media, typically via direct consulting engagements and EU-funded research consortium participation.

The company's core technology stack is built around BERT-based classifiers, transformer fine-tuning (LLaMa-1, LLaMa-2, Falcon, Mistral), CLIP for multimodal analysis, and proprietary data-minimization techniques that retain only non-identifiable metadata for GDPR-compliant processing. Productized assets include Albert (a LLaMa-2-based French public-service copilot), the OpenLLM-France sovereign multimodal models Claire and Lucie, the PROMPT narrative-detection system deployed across six EU countries, and the Wikimedia Sensitivity Meter and Barometer for election-related disinformation. Headcount of roughly 22 spans AI Research, Data & Infrastructure, Risks & Insights, Government & Policy, and Consulting & Deployment, with offices in Paris, Rennes, and Marseille.

Opsci's business model is project-based and grant-influenced: revenue is generated through professional services (research consultancy, AI transformation, executive coaching and training), managed-services-style research projects funded by EU and French programs (France2030, European Commission), and digital-device design and deployment for clients. There is no publicly disclosed pricing or self-service product channel; all distribution runs through direct institutional engagement and consortium participation. Strategic positioning as a sovereign-AI and information-threat specialist, embedded in EU policy and research networks, anchors both commercial pipeline and grant eligibility.

Core offering

Opsci.ai is a French research consultancy and digital intelligence laboratory that delivers AI-powered methodologies for opinion analysis, narrative competition, and informational threat assessment to governments, defense organizations, think tanks, NGOs, and media. Its core deliverable is professional services organized around three pillars — Open Intelligence (social and open data analysis of online opinion dynamics), Human Intelligence (advisory and risk assessment), and Artificial Intelligence (custom LLM design, fine-tuning, alignment, and secure deployment for clients such as the French government's Albert copilot). The firm also produces research tools and AI products through EU-funded consortia, including PROMPT (European Narrative Observatory), Wikimedia Sensitivity Meter/Barometer, and OpenLLM-France sovereign models.

Product overview

Opsci.ai is a research consultancy and digital intelligence laboratory specializing in narrative competition and informational threats. The company operates as a unified platform offering four integrated service verticals (Open Intelligence, Human Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence, and four operational modules: Anticipation, Investigation, Processing, and Reaction) alongside specialized AI products. Key products include PROMPT - a European Narrative Observatory project developing narrative detection tools using LLMs across 6 countries, Albert - an AI copilot for French public services, and the OpenLLM-France models (Claire and Lucie). The company also produces the Propagations podcast and maintains research tools like the Wikimedia Sensitivity Meter and Barometer developed in partnership with Wikimedia France. Services focus on opinion analysis, risk assessment, and AI transformation for organizations.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Dataminr: AI-driven real-time event, risk, and narrative detection platform serving enterprises, governments, and newsrooms. Highly comparable to Opsci in using AI to surface weak signals and disinformation/narrative risks at scale, though with a much larger global footprint.
• Zignal Labs: Narrative intelligence platform that uses AI to detect, analyze, and respond to emerging narratives and media threats for enterprises and public-sector clients. Direct functional overlap with Opsci's narrative tracking and crisis management offerings.
• Newsguard: Trust and misinformation intelligence provider rating the reliability of news and information sources, used by platforms, advertisers, and governments. Comparable in serving as an institutional counter-disinformation layer, though focused on source rating rather than narrative dynamics.
• Graphika: Social network analysis and narrative intelligence firm specializing in disinformation, influence operations, and online community mapping. Closely comparable in methodology (mapping narrative spread) and customer base (governments, NGOs, platforms).
• PeakMetrics: Narrative intelligence platform serving public agencies, advocacy groups, and brands to detect, measure, and counter harmful narratives. Closely aligned with Opsci's narrative-tracking and stakeholder-mapping capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Talkwalker: Enterprise social listening and analytics platform with consumer and brand-intelligence focus, but whose narrative and trend-spotting capabilities are increasingly applied to public-sector and risk use cases similar to Opsci's.
• Meltwater: Global media intelligence and social listening platform with narrative analytics, used by enterprises and PR/communications teams. Adjacent competitor for large-scale media and narrative monitoring contracts that Opsci targets.
• Recorded Future: Threat-intelligence platform with narrative and influence-operation tracking capabilities, serving governments and defense. Overlaps with Opsci's information warfare and risk-assessment work, but operates as a broad incumbent intelligence platform rather than an EU-focused narrative lab.

Emerging players

• Predata: Predictive narrative analytics platform that quantifies online attention and mobilization to forecast geopolitical and social risks. Comparable in using AI-driven weak-signal detection for government and institutional clients.

Regional players

• Visibrain: French social-media monitoring and intelligence platform for brands, media, and public institutions. A direct French-market overlap with Opsci in real-time narrative and opinion tracking, though with a more brand-monitoring go-to-market.
