  • Ready to turn planetary-scale data into instant conservational insights? 🌍 https://goo.gle/43NUzKX Nicholas Clinton, Alicia Sullivan, and Sheba Rasson are here to introduce custom Geospatial AI Agents built with the Agent Development Kit and Google Earth Engine! 💻✨ 🧠 Reason through ambiguity. 🛠️ Orchestrate Google Earth Engine datasets. 📝 Generate clear narratives. 📂 Try open-source examples. Read the full guide to build your first agent.

    • A flow diagram illustrates the creation of a "Sustainable Sourcing Agent" by processing "Geospatial data" from sources like the Forest Data Partnership, openforis, Whisp, and Alpha Earth through "Earth Engine." The output of Earth Engine, along with an "AI Knowledge Base," flows into an "Agent Development Kit" to produce the final agent, which is shown on a laptop screen with the Gemini logo.
  • ☀️ Accelerating renewable energy adoption just got easier ➡️ https://goo.gle/3QvRLiz We’re introducing high-resolution, building-level data on solar potential and existing solar arrays. By leveraging Earth AI, utilities and service providers can now identify the best spots for solar installations at scale. It’s a major step forward in using geospatial data to build a more sustainable future. Sign up at the link above for more info. #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #CleanTech #GoogleEarthAI

    • A dashboard displays rooftop solar capacity distribution through two bar charts categorized by installation size (less than and greater than 50kW) and a map on the right highlighting individual rooftops by solar potential. Summary statistics at the bottom left show 963 existing solar arrays, representing 5% of the total regional potential.

    Press release: https://lnkd.in/e-3_xGmg THE WORLD CUP IS HERE! 🌍⚽🏆 On Wednesday we cut the ribbon at Grand Central Terminal to launch the official NYNJ World Cup Concierge for the entire New York New Jersey region. One million fans arriving from every corner of the world. Five boroughs. 39 days. Every question answered in multiple languages with verified official information. NYC’s World Cup Czar Maya Handa said it best: “The World Cup will not be felt only inside a stadium. It will be felt on subway platforms, on sidewalks, in parks, and on neighborhood commercial corridors across all five boroughs.” That’s what we built this for. Let’s GO. 🔥 FIFA World Cup 26™ New York New Jersey New York City Tourism + Conventions Google Maps Platform

  • Prepare for takeoff. ✈️ Flight simulator is now available globally on web to all users. https://goo.gle/4omduWu We've recently added many of our most powerful professional desktop features to web. Elevation profiles, new import types, but there's always been one other feature you've been asking us to add to the web version of Google Earth, just for fun... Where will you fly? Share your best maneuvers, views, and flyovers with us!

    AI agents are powerful, but they don’t remember your preferences. So you end up repeating instructions- How you structure projects. Your brand guidelines. You can now teach Replit Agent your conventions with Custom Instructions and Skills. It'll take them into account for every project automatically We are launching with some pre-made skills made by us and our partners Atlassian, Mixpanel, Google, PayPal, Resend, RevenueCat, Stripe.

  • 🗺️ Transform raw pixels into powerful insights for urban planning with Gemini 3.1 ➡️ https://goo.gle/3QB8KzZ Discover how this foundation model is fundamentally shifting the paradigm for geospatial image understanding and analysis with: ✨ Few-shot visual discovery 📍 Native spatial awareness 🔬 Pixel-level mathematical reasoning Combine geospatial imagery with the multimodal reasoning, bounding box extraction, and code execution capabilities of frontier models and enter a new era of spatial analysis.

    • A highway scene with cars and overhead signs is overlaid with cyan and green bounding boxes from an object detection system. The boxes label elements such as "Street Lamp," "Utility Pole," "Tree," and "Sign" with decimal confidence scores, while a white sign on the left reads "SPEED LIMIT 95." This illustrates a computer vision system identifying roadside infrastructure and traffic signs in a real-world driving environment.
  • Conducting road safety audits, scheduling maintenance, or planning logistics routes used to require combing through imagery or, worse, driving miles of roads yourself. Not anymore. https://goo.gle/4e3bYW4 New AI-powered data layers in Google Earth are changing that. Pulling from billions of Google Street View images, these layers now spot infrastructure assets like stop signs, speed limit signs, and more to map infrastructure for you. By combining these assets into a single project and diving into Street View you can locate and validate assets on Google Earth in seconds. These layers are now available for Professional & Professional Advanced customers on web and Android, with coverage expanding over the coming weeks.
