Explore is good for discovering which pack, place, or pattern matters. The chat can route across multiple maintained datasets without asking you to build a corpus first.
Ask one geographic question, see it on the map, and inspect the data behind the answer. Explore is the fastest path from curiosity to context.
Start with one question or open one ready-made map state. Either way, the goal is the same: one visible angle, one obvious next question.
Example queriesOpen Explore with the earthquakes pack ready so the first question is immediately geographic and visible.
Open in Explore › Local climateStart from a concrete county-scale climate story where the map itself makes the correlation legible fast.
Open in Explore › EconomicUse the currency pack as a fast compare surface for questions like who strengthened, who weakened, and where to inspect next.
Open in Explore ›Placeholder for the coming climate view: anomaly maps, warming patterns, and the broad planetary context that makes climate stories feel worth exploring.
Explore is the broad map-first lane. Ask across the published packs, let the runtime route the question, and use the map to orient yourself before committing to a narrower analysis.
Explore is good for discovering which pack, place, or pattern matters. The chat can route across multiple maintained datasets without asking you to build a corpus first.
Use Explore when the question spans larger historical ranges, multiple regions, or comparative map views that go beyond the live Ops window.
Switch to Research when you want a bounded, repeatable corpus and a longer analytical thread. Switch to Ops when the question is about what is happening now and over the last few days.
Ask the question, watch the result render, and click any feature to see the row behind it. The point is orientation, comparison, and the next question, not GIS setup.
Keep the work, bound the corpus, and turn one map question into a longer analytical thread.
Open Research › OpsMove from one answer into a live watch when the situation starts changing.
Open Ops › AgentsCall the same maintained pack layer through MCP or the hosted API.
