AI on custom map?

Question to the ESRI team.

Can you use AI on a map loaded with feature layers? I usually don't use webmaps. The users of the app can add layers from a list of available feature layers where they can perform their spatial/attribute queries. Can the AI be used?

Thank you.

Hi @LefterisKoumis, thanks for posting your question here. You need to use a webmap to use the AI components, and that webmap must have embeddings. That is if you want to use the OOB agents. You can create custom agents that work with layers in a non webmap map, but then you can't use the agents provided by the SDK. Hope this helps!
