What is the ArcGIS Hub AI Assistant?
The ArcGIS Hub AI Assistant is a new capability that transforms how people interact with open data. This innovative tool harnesses the power of generative AI to make open data more accessible, understandable, and actionable for everyone. It's intended to help users find answers to their questions and limited to the curated open data sets available on your Hub sites.
The AI Assistant is currently in Beta testing to garner feedback.
How does it work?
The AI Assistant uses an Esri-managed large-language model (LLM) to translate user requests into geospatial queries and summaries using the open data shared through your ArcGIS Hub site. When a user poses a question, the AI Assistant analyzes it, searches through relevant dataset metadata and other items, and provides simple answers as text, table, and map. This process makes complex data more digestible and helps users quickly find the information they need.
Benefits of the ArcGIS Hub AI Assistant
- Enhanced accessibility: By translating complex data into easy-to-understand responses, the AI Assistant makes open data accessible to a wider audience.
- Improved understanding: Visual aids like maps and tables help users grasp information more quickly and effectively.
- Actionable insights: The AI Assistant doesn't just provide raw data; it offers summarized information that can be used in decision-making processes.
