Ask the live agents

Describe the problem in your own words. We classify the industry, assign specialist agents, and you watch the workflow run and produce the visual deliverables — maps, dashboards, charts, tables and reports — instead of one block of text.

Demo mode uses clearly labelled sample data — never presented as verified.

Solution blueprint

Operational context

Industry challenges

  • Operational data for environment is spread across disconnected systems
  • Analysis-heavy work is repeated manually every cycle
  • Risks and exceptions are found late
  • Reporting and audit overhead grows with volume
Solution patterns

Recommended AI solutions

  • Specialist agents that own one step of the workflow each
  • Grounded retrieval over your permitted systems only
  • Predictive scoring with explainable reasons
  • Approval-gated execution into your systems of record
Data readiness

Required data

  • Earth observation imagery
  • Sensor networks
  • Land-cover baselines
  • Permit and compliance records
Controlled process

Example workflow

  • New imagery and sensor data received
  • Validate coverage and quality
  • Compute indices
  • Detect change
  • Assess impact
Measure after baseline

Expected outcomes

  • Analysis cycle time
  • Manual review effort
  • Decision auditability
  • Earlier risk detection
Governance controls

Security and compliance

  • Row-level security scopes every read to the requesting organisation
  • Retrieval is limited to documents the user may already open
  • Every agent action, tool call and approval is written to the audit log
  • Sensitive steps pause until a named human approves them

Inputs, integrations and outputs

Inputs

  • • Earth observation imagery
  • • Sensor networks
  • • Land-cover baselines
  • • Permit and compliance records

Integrations

  • • GIS services
  • • Sensor platforms
  • • Regulatory reporting
  • • Data catalogues

Outputs

  • • Change detection map (GeoJSON, PDF)
  • • Exceedance report (CSV, PDF)
  • • Monitoring dashboard (Dashboard)

Business outcomes to baseline and measure

Analysis cycle time

Target and measurement method agreed during discovery.

Manual review effort

Target and measurement method agreed during discovery.

Decision auditability

Target and measurement method agreed during discovery.

Earlier risk detection

Target and measurement method agreed during discovery.

No performance result is promised before a baseline is measured. Targets are agreed for each engagement and reported against real delivery data.

How This AI Agent Works

The process the environment agent team follows, from trigger to approved deliverable.

Earth observation workflow

From a study area and date range to a specialist-reviewed map and chart set.

Workflow preview

Saved with the run so the recorded execution trail shows what was asked. Demonstration runs use sample data. They do not touch your systems.

Workflow summary as a text list
  1. 1. Define study area and dates: Input. Draw or upload the area of interest and the observation window.
  2. 2. Discover imagery: Approved tool. Search the approved satellite archives for matching scenes.
  3. 3. Filter cloud coverage: Validation. Drop scenes above the cloud threshold and report coverage.
  4. 4. Preprocess imagery: Approved tool. Mask, mosaic and reproject the retained scenes.
  5. 5. Run analysis: AI agent. Compute indices or classification over the prepared stack.
  6. 6. Validate results: Validation. Check against reference samples and report accuracy.
  7. 7. Specialist review: Human approval. A remote-sensing specialist approves before release. Human approval required.
  8. 8. Map and charts: Output. Result layer, time-series charts and export package.

Approval gate: Specialist review. Deliverable: Map.
