Custom ChatGPT ArcGIS Experience Builder Widget

Question

This video showcases a custom AI-powered widget we built for ArcGIS Experience Builder that lets users interact with maps using natural language. Instead of manually filtering layers or writing SQL expressions, you can simply type a request. The widget connects OpenAI’s language model directly to ArcGIS, interprets your request, and dynamically filters both the map and Feature Info panel — automatically updating selections and zooming to relevant results.

Built with: ArcGIS Experience Builder Developer Edition, TypeScript + React , OpenAI API , Dynamic schema detection and query generation

Dear Brita,

I recently came across this impressive demo showcasing a custom AI-powered widget for ArcGIS Experience Builder that enables natural language interaction with maps.

I would be very interested in testing this custom widget and exploring how it could be applied in real-world use cases (EO analytics, utilities, environmental monitoring, etc.).

Are you open to sharing the widget (or a demo version) so it can be tested and evaluated in real-world use cases?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
