Nobody knows your sites, land, and communities better than you do. https://goo.gle/3TGxM29 Now you can turn that local knowledge into custom map layers with the new classify tool in Google Earth on the web, in Experimental. ✏️ Draw your area: Outline a site, or select a polygon already in your map project. Pick a year, 2017 to 2025. 🗂️ Name your own classes: Define the categories your work depends on, from plant species and dry brush to cleared firebreaks. 📍 Label and iterate: Place sample points across your site. Google Earth reads every 10-meter square, fills in the rest, and sharpens as you add points. No code required. 📤 Share and export: Your custom layer lives in your map project, and you can download your work as a GeoJSON file for further analysis. Google's leading geospatial models are now within reach for professionals who want to save time, or who never trained in geospatial coding.

👏🚀 Congrats on the beta release of Agoda's AI Assistant using Grounding with Google Maps in Gemini to recommend ideal spots based on real-time Google Maps data, such as ratings, photos, and opening hours. ⤵️
Agoda's AI Assistant is now live in limited public beta! 🚀 Travelers can turn travel ideas into personalized, bookable trips, exploring options, checking live prices and availability, and booking in the Agoda app. Planning a trip often means jumping between AI chats, search engines, maps, reviews, screenshots, and booking apps. We built Agoda’s AI Assistant to bring those steps together and keep track of your preferences and trip context as you go. We’re starting with a select group of Agoda app users and will expand access gradually as we learn from their feedback. I’m proud of the team I get to lead for taking this from an idea to something travelers can now use. There’s been a lot of hard work behind this launch, and I’m excited to get it into people’s hands and learn what works, what doesn’t, and what we should build next.
