Felt
Field teams, stakeholders, and clients ask about map data constantly. Your AI agent queries Felt in real time, retrieves layers, elements, and project details, and delivers geospatial answers inside any chat channel. No GIS expertise required from the person asking.
Your AI agent connects directly to Felt's map, layer, element, and project APIs, turning complex spatial data into plain-language answers on demand.

Real scenarios where teams use an AI agent connected to Felt to surface geospatial insights, update shared maps, and manage projects without switching to a GIS tool.
A utility field technician messages that a downed power line is blocking a road. Your AI Agent takes the GPS coordinates from the message, calls Felt's Create or Update Elements API, and drops a hazard marker on the team's shared map with a description of the incident. Dispatch sees the new pin immediately. The response team reroutes without a single phone call or dashboard login.
An executive asks for a quick summary of the coastal survey project before a board meeting. Your AI Agent calls Felt's Get Map Details and List Layers endpoints, retrieves the map title, description, layer count, and last-modified date, then composes a concise briefing. The executive gets the context they need in 30 seconds, directly in their chat window.
A GIS manager needs to catalog all active Felt projects for an annual review. Your AI Agent queries the List Projects endpoint filtered by organization, returns every project name and description, and flags any that lack descriptions. The manager completes their audit from a chat conversation instead of clicking through dozens of workspace screens.

FAQs
The agent uses Felt's Get Map Details endpoint to fetch metadata and the List Elements endpoint to retrieve all GeoJSON features on that map. When a user asks about a particular map, the agent queries by map ID, parses the returned geometry and properties, and presents the information in plain language during the conversation.
Yes. The agent calls the Create or Update Elements API with a GeoJSON FeatureCollection containing the new geometry. You can send point coordinates from a field report, and the agent adds them as map elements. The changes appear on the shared Felt map instantly for all viewers.
Tars requires a Felt API Token, which you generate in the Developers tab of your Felt Workspace Settings. The token provides access to maps, layers, elements, projects, and sources within your workspace. You can revoke or regenerate the token at any time without affecting your existing maps.
No. The agent queries Felt's REST API in real time during each conversation. Map metadata, GeoJSON elements, layer details, and project information are fetched live and used only to generate the current response. No geospatial data is replicated or cached by Tars.
Yes. The agent calls the List Layers endpoint with the map ID to retrieve every layer's name, type, and pagination cursor. For workspace-level data sources, it calls the List Sources endpoint. Both results are combined to give a complete picture of what data feeds into a specific map.
Felt's web interface requires opening a browser, navigating to the right map, and clicking through layers. Tars lets anyone on your team ask a question in chat and get map data back instantly. It is especially valuable for field crews on mobile devices who need answers without loading a full GIS application.
If the Get Map Details call returns a not-found error, the agent informs the user that the map no longer exists. It can then offer to list available maps or projects so the user can locate the correct resource. No dead ends in the conversation.
Both. The agent can create new projects, update project names and descriptions, list all projects in an organization, and delete projects. For maps within a project, it can retrieve details, list layers and elements, duplicate maps, and add or remove elements. Full project and map lifecycle management is available.
Don't limit your AI Agent to basic conversations. Watch how to configure and add powerful tools making your agent smarter and more functional.
