MAIA

Geospatial research engine

MAIA is the geospatial research engine for questions about places in the United States, in any field. Ask in plain language and MAIA's agent researches it and builds the answer as a project with a map and a table: which places or properties match your criteria, who owns them, what is near them, how many there are in an area, or a list of them with contacts or other details MAIA researches for each row. Data can include parcels, owners, zoning, buildings, contacts, businesses and points of interest, schools, roads and land use, and MAIA's agent can find and add suitable public map layers. Through this plugin you can start a project for a county, send follow-up requests, answer MAIA's questions and approve larger steps during a run, check progress, review your projects' layers and views, and save notes and reusable skills that MAIA uses in later projects. Each answer links to the full map and table in MAIA.
