Tips & FAQ

Tips

1.Be specific — "Calculate area in hectares" works better than "get area"
2.Reference columns by name — "Filter where DISTRICT = 'Mumbai'"
3.Use Undo freely — All operations can be undone with Ctrl+Z
4.Check Results tab — Charts and visualizations appear there, not in chat
5.Export before refreshing — Data is stored in browser memory only

Ensure shapefiles are zipped (.zip containing .shp, .shx, .dbf). GeoJSON, KML, and GPX can be uploaded directly. Raster files must be GeoTIFF (.tif) or ASCII Grid (.asc).

Column names are case-sensitive. Ask "Show me the columns" to see exact names, then reference them precisely in your commands.

Try rephrasing with simpler terms, break the task into smaller steps, or check if your data has valid geometries by asking "Fix invalid geometries".

Layers persist when switching between Map/Attributes/Results. If the map is blank, check that the layer is toggled on in the Layers panel.

Your data is processed in a secure cloud environment and is not stored permanently. Data exists only during your session. Always export your work before closing the browser.
