Everything you might want to know

Entual is an AI external relations intelligence platform. It helps public affairs, corporate affairs, government relations, strategic communications, agencies, and advisory teams detect reputation, policy, and stakeholder risk earlier, surface exposure across markets, and turn intelligence into briefings, positions, and grounded recommendations before issues escalate.

Entual is built for teams managing complex stakeholder environments: public affairs, corporate affairs, government relations, strategic communications, reputation, market entry, agencies, consultancies, and leadership teams in regulated sectors.

Entual reads external signals across policy, regulation, politics, media, markets, stakeholders, reputation, risk feeds, newsletters, and AI-generated visibility. Sources can be configured by market, sector, language, institution, issue, and strategic priority.

Media monitoring collects mentions: more feeds, more volume, more noise. Entual adds the layer that has been missing, interpretation. It connects media, policy, stakeholder, market, reputation, and AI-search signals to your organisation's strategic context, then turns it into grounded recommendations for what to brief, say, and do before exposure escalates.

Entual covers media monitoring, but it is not a clippings service. Traditional media monitoring reports what was said and counts mentions. Entual connects media signals to policy, stakeholder, market, and reputation context, scores the risk, and recommends action. It is European by design, EU-hosted, GDPR-native, and works from open-source, publicly available information. If you want media intelligence that leads to decisions rather than a volume of alerts, that is the difference.

Yes. Entual reads EU and national policy, regulation, and political developments relevant to your organisation, and detects exposure early. Rather than a raw feed of legislative updates, it connects policy signals to your stakeholders, markets, and reputation so your team can see what actually matters and act before an issue escalates. It is built for European public affairs and government relations work.

Entual automatically generates a comprehensive stakeholder map for each client, identifying 50 to 65 entities across competitors, regulators, partners, investors, media, political actors, and more. These maps are used to drive intelligence gathering: every signal is scored against your stakeholder graph, so you see what matters to the people and organisations that matter to you.

The Content Studio turns your intelligence into ready-to-use output: briefing notes, position papers, stakeholder communications, social media content, regulatory responses, and strategic memos. All content is grounded in your latest signals and tailored to your voice profile and audience.

Entual distinguishes between national markets (Netherlands, Germany) and institutional scopes (EU, UN, NATO). Intelligence queries are tailored to each: EU-scoped monitoring targets directives, consultations, and named institutions, while national monitoring focuses on domestic regulation and local media. Signals are automatically translated and scored regardless of source language.

The platform runs hourly signal scans across all active client profiles, with daily reputation assessments and periodic stakeholder map regeneration. On-demand scans can be triggered at any time for deeper, real-time analysis. Entual is designed around the principle that near real-time intelligence is the baseline, not a premium feature.

Entual is industry-agnostic but particularly effective in regulated and stakeholder-intensive sectors. Current use cases span renewable energy, digital assets and fintech, healthcare and e-health, payments and financial services, telecommunications, and market entry strategy across the EU and beyond.

Yes. Entual supports multi-tenant agency environments where one team manages intelligence across multiple client portfolios. Each client profile has its own stakeholder map, signal feed, reputation tracking, and content context. Agency users can switch between clients and assign team members to specific portfolios with tailored focus areas and market coverage.

Entual routes tasks across multiple AI providers with automatic fallback chains for reliability. Research synthesis, content generation, risk analysis, and scoring each use purpose-selected models. This multi-provider approach means no single point of failure and the ability to use the best model for each task.

Entual is often described as a European answer to the kind of institutional intelligence Palantir represents, but the comparison is a contrast, not an equivalence. Palantir is associated with defence, policing, military, and state surveillance. Entual is built for external relations: public affairs, corporate affairs, communications, and reputation. Entual works only from open-source, publicly available information, is EU-hosted with EU data residency, GDPR-native, and aligned with the EU AI Act. It is not a surveillance system and does not use private, covert, or unlawfully obtained data. So if you are looking for a European, lawful, transparent alternative that brings serious intelligence capability to reputation and policy rather than to surveillance, that is what Entual is.

Most tools discussed as European alternatives to Palantir are aimed at defence, policing, or intelligence agencies. Entual occupies the civilian side of that same capability: institutional-grade intelligence for communications, public affairs, government relations, and reputation. It reads media, policy and regulation, stakeholders, markets, reputation, and AI visibility, and turns them into briefings, positions, and grounded recommendations. Entual is European by design: EU-hosted, GDPR-native, EU AI Act aligned, and based entirely on open-source, publicly available information.

Bespoke is a custom annual engagement for organisations operating in regulated, multi-market, or politically dense environments. It includes everything in Team, plus unlimited markets and stakeholders, unlimited seats, direct access to our in-market analysts, unlimited special-circumstance reports (crisis briefs, M&A intelligence, regulatory deep-dives, stakeholder soundings), quarterly stakeholder map reviews with operators, custom integrations and intelligence configuration, white-glove onboarding, a named operator, quarterly business reviews, and custom DPA, security questionnaire support, and data residency options beyond the EU default.

Bespoke pricing is custom, set per engagement, and only on annual contracts. The scope is shaped around the markets you operate in, the depth of analyst access you need, and the integrations and custom intelligence configuration involved. Reach out at bespoke@entual.io with a short note about your environment and we will come back with a scoped proposal.

From first conversation to operational platform with the agreed customisations typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on integrations and the depth of intelligence configuration. We are happy to start with a scoped pilot before signing the full annual contract.
