Deep Insight, AI for the Intelligence Analyst by Rae Baker

The Shift

Same analyst. Far less drowning.

You already have the judgment. What you don’t have is the hours. Deep Insight shows you how to hand the grunt work to AI, the reading, the sorting, the formatting, so you spend your time on the analysis only a human can do. These aren’t hypotheticals. They’re workflows from the book.

1 week → 1 hour

Risk review · corporate intel

An analyst’s NLP workflow turned a full week of reading filings and news into about an hour, and flagged risks the manual pass would have missed.

+6 hrs / week

Reporting · maritime workflow

Automating the report formatting won back six hours every week and got finished intelligence out the door two days early.

What You’ll Walk Away Able To Do

AI is not here to replace you. It’s here to free you up to perform deeper analysis.

The thesis of Deep Insight

01Map your own workflow and pinpoint exactly where AI saves you the most time.
02Automate collection and triage so you analyze instead of gather.
03Use NLP to pull entities, sentiment, and themes from oceans of text in minutes.
04Write prompts that return usable intelligence, not vague, generic summaries.
05Run predictive analysis to flag threats before they fully surface.
06Interrogate bias and the black box so you can defend a finding in a briefing, or a courtroom.
07Validate AI output and trust nothing until it’s proven.
08Read the horizon, from agentic to multimodal AI, before adversaries exploit it.
