The Data Explorer (beta) template applies AI-powered Natural Language GIS (NLGIS) technology to filter data out of your map through a chat interface, removing menus or the need for complex query syntax.
Get started
From the Data Explorer (beta) item details page, click Create a web app to start configuring an app with the template.
Note:
Your ArcGIS Online administrator must configure assistants before you can access Data Explorer (beta), including turning off the Block Esri apps and capabilities while they are in beta setting.
Guidelines
This app template's use of the natural language requires thorough metadata, including field descriptions and field data types. Configured web map layers must be vectorized for use with this template. This vectorization is part of the template configuration and must be done following any data or field description updates.
Credits
Using Data Explorer (beta) requires credits when performing spatial filtering.
Feedback
To provide feedback about a specific response, click the thumbs up or thumbs down button. The feedback may be used to guide additional development of the assistant.
Security and privacy
Data Explorer (beta) aligns with the following principles:
- Prompts are not used to train Esri or third-party AI models.
- Prompts are not used to improve any Esri or third-party product or service.
- Prompts are not stored or shared.
- Prompts are not used to improve the assistant for your own use.
AI transparency cards are available with more security and privacy details.
Limitations and bias
Your ArcGIS Online administrator must configure assistants before you can access Data Explorer (beta). Other account types, such as public accounts, are not currently supported.
Suggestions generated using artificial intelligence can be misleading or inaccurate. To avoid potentially reinforcing any unintentional biases in the AI models used by Data Explorer (beta), human judgment should be applied to interpreting and acting upon the assistant's outputs.
