# How to Use Intel

> Intel gives real-time risk and event intelligence tied directly to your trips and lanes — so you see disruptions before they cost you time or money.

### What Intel does

Intel continuously monitors for events that can impact your freight, including:

* Cargo theft and hijackings
* Severe weather (hurricanes, floods, winter storms, high winds)
* Accidents and roadway incidents
* Road, rail, and port closures or disruptions
* Facility outages and hazmat incidents

When an event overlaps your active trips, Intel surfaces it automatically — no setup, no manual searching.

### Where to find Intel

### 1. Asset Map

Risk events show as a live signal layer over your active trips on the Asset Map. Open a trip marker to see nearby alerts and how they relate to the route.

### 2. Trip sidebar — Risk Alerts tab

Open any trip and select the **Risk Alerts** tab to see events impacting that specific load — location, type, and relevant detail.

### 3. Ask AI (Insights)

Ask natural-language questions like:

* "Show me my trips at risk"
* "Are there any alerts on trip #12345?"
* "What's happening near \[lane/city]?"

Insights returns a prioritized list of affected trips with a summary and recommendation for each.

### Availability

Intel is included free for all Insights customers. It's on by default — nothing to enable.

### FAQ

**Do I need to configure anything?**
No. Intel runs automatically against your active trips.

**Can I filter which alert types I see?**
Filtering options are on the roadmap; not available at initial launch.

**Where does the data come from?**
Intel draws on a broad, continuously updated set of public risk and event signals — not carrier or load data you haven't shared with Alvys.

**Does this replace my carrier's tracking/ELD data?**
No — Intel is a risk-awareness layer on top of your existing tracking, not a replacement for it.
