04 Performing Spatial Analysis

How to use natural language commands to run GIS operations on your data.

Q How does the zero-code analysis engine work?

Simply type a plain-language instruction into the chat interface. The AI interprets your intent and executes the appropriate GIS operation automatically --- no scripts or code needed.

Q What kinds of commands can I use?

Here are example commands you can type directly into the chat:

💬 Example Commands

"Buffer this layer by 500 meters"

"Find all points within this polygon"

"Calculate the area of each feature"

"Clip layer A with layer B"

"Create a heatmap of these points"

"Merge all overlapping polygons"

Q Can I chain multiple operations together?

Yes. Describe your full workflow in natural language and the platform will execute each step in sequence, using the output of one operation as the input for the next. For example: "Buffer layer A by 1km, then clip it with layer B, then calculate the area of each resulting polygon."

Q Where do I see the results of my analysis?

Results appear in two places simultaneously: as a new layer on the interactive map, and as a new entry in the Data Catalog in the Right Panel. You can click the layer to inspect it, open its attribute table, or export it.

Q What if I get an error from my analysis?

If your command returns an error, try these steps:

• Ensure your data has valid geometries without self-intersections.

• Check that the coordinate reference system (CRS) is correctly defined in your file.

• Make sure your command is clear and specific about which layer to use.

• Try breaking a complex operation into smaller individual steps.

• Verify that input files are properly loaded in the Data Catalog.
