About Blacksite AI

Authentic Intelligence. Compelling Narratives.

Blacksite AI bridges the gap between classified reality and creative excellence. Founded by intelligence veterans who've lived the operations they now help others portray, we deliver AI-powered tools that bring unprecedented authenticity to defense applications and entertainment production.

Built Different. Trained Real.

Blacksite AI is a pure-play training-data company focused on national security. We curate, label, and audit mission-grade datasets so AI systems can operate with the judgment, tempo, and discipline expected in real operations.

Our datasets for AI models aren't built on Hollywood interpretations or web-scraped speculation. They're built on three decades of operational intelligence, validated tradecraft, and real-world experience from the highest levels of national security.

Just as we trained special mission units and intelligence professionals in the field, we've trained our AI on:

• Authentic HUMINT collection and analysis methodologies

• Real-world interrogation dynamics and psychological operations

• Validated covert operations procedures and assault tactics

• Actual intelligence reporting frameworks and analytical processes

• Operational planning sequences used by elite units worldwide

How We Work

We combine declassified doctrine, SME-authored scenarios, and rights-cleared synthetic content. Every entry carries provenance and context notes. Each file undergoes bias reviews and red-team checks. Our governance aligns with the intent of NIST RMF and DoD AI Ethical Principles.

What We Believe

The hardest problem in defense AI isn’t building another model—it’s providing data that actually mirrors the fight. We exist to close that gap.

What We’re Not

We’re not a generalist LLM or a content farm. We are a data layer purpose-built for decision superiority.

Who We Serve

Defense & Intelligence Community

Mission-specific AI that understands how operations actually unfold—from strategic planning through tactical execution. Our tools enhance analyst workflows, support training scenarios, and provide decision-support grounded in operational reality.

Game Developers

Create scenarios that challenge players with authentic tactics and consequences. From grand strategy to tactical shooters, Blacksite AI helps developers build worlds where intelligence matters and operations feel real.

Film & Television Production

Writers' rooms and showrunners gain access to authentic tradecraft without compromising classified information. Create characters who think like operators, plots that unfold like real operations, and dialogue that rings true to those who've been there.

Publishers & Authors

Thriller writers, military fiction authors, and narrative creators can craft stories with procedural accuracy that satisfies both casual readers and subject matter experts. No more relying on outdated manuals or Hollywood myths.

Ethical Boundaries

We provide authenticity without compromising operational security. Our models understand the difference between compelling fiction and classified reality.

Our Foundation

Led by Scott Swanson, whose 30-year convergence of intelligence operations, enterprise technology, and creative innovation makes Blacksite AI possible. Our team and network includes:

• Former intelligence officers from IC agencies

• Special operations veterans with ground experience

• Published authors in thriller and military fiction

The Mission

In an era of information warfare and AI proliferation, authenticity matters more than ever. 

Whether you're training the next generation of operators, creating the next blockbuster franchise, or writing the thriller that defines a genre, Blacksite AI ensures your work reflects operational reality—not algorithmic assumptions.

We believe that great defense tools and compelling entertainment share the same requirement: they must ring true to those who know.
