 Crucix pulls satellite fire detection, flight tracking, radiation monitoring, satellite constellation tracking, economic indicators, live market prices, conflict data, sanctions lists, and social sentiment from 27 open-source intelligence feeds — in parallel, every 15 minutes — and renders everything on a single self-contained Jarvis-style dashboard.
 
 Hook it up to an LLM and it becomes a **two-way intelligence assistant** — pushing multi-tier alerts to Telegram and Discord when something meaningful changes, responding to commands like `/brief` and `/sweep` from your phone, and generating actionable trade ideas grounded in real cross-domain data. Your own analyst that watches the world while you sleep.
 
+Try the live demo first at [https://www.crucix.live/](https://www.crucix.live/), then clone the repo when you want the full local stack.
+
 No cloud. No telemetry. No subscriptions. Just `node server.mjs` and you're running.
