Detective explorer

Multi-dimensional analysis, visualized.

Detective maps facts from any text source into dimensions like Person, Place, and Year, then visualizes how they connect.

What is Detective?

A local-first tool for turning unstructured text into a structured, explorable knowledge graph.

Extract people, places, dates, and concepts from any document. Each entity maps to a dimension, and facts connect them.

See how entities cluster and connect in an interactive force-directed graph. Filter by dimension, search by keyword, pin important nodes.

Detective files are simple JSON. No server, no upload. Load a .detective file in your browser and explore it locally.
