MapAI uses generative AI to make complex spatial data accessible through simple, natural-language questions.
-
MapAI is a GenAI-powered conversational platform that allows anyone to ask complex spatial data questions in plain language and receive instant and accurate answers. For example, a local government planner could ask, “Show all residential areas within 500 metres of flood-prone land where the population has grown by more than 15% over the past five years. Rank the results by development priority and explain why each location was selected.”
MapAI analyses multiple spatial and non-spatial datasets simultaneously to deliver an explainable, ranked response in seconds. The platform securely integrates existing internal and external data sources without requiring data migration.
-
Organisations spend a lot of money on spatial data that they can't use efficiently. Non-technical staff wait days for spatial data specialists to answer location-related questions, leading to delayed decisions, missed opportunities and operational inefficiencies.
-
Local government agencies, geospatial platform companies, and companies with existing spatial data infrastructure but a non-technical user base, such as utility companies.
