AskEarth
Agentic geospatial answer engine (GIA) that turns satellite and Earth observation data into natural language, map based insights, working with proprietary or third party LLMs.
askEarth develops an agentic AI answer engine that makes geospatial intelligence and satellite image analysis accessible across an organization without requiring geospatial expertise. Its core product, GIA, the Geo spatial Intelligence Agent, combines large language models with satellite and Earth observation data and lets users ask natural language questions and see answers on an interactive map in seconds. GIA integrates directly with an organization's existing data sources, prediction models, and internal APIs, and works with either a proprietary LLM or a third party model so answers stay domain aware and contextually precise. The engine helps teams uncover patterns and connections that experts might overlook and turns complex datasets into clear, location based insights for sectors such as energy, insurance, commodity trading, and environmental monitoring, where it is used for risk monitoring and market intelligence. askEarth is a Zurich based spin off from the University of Zurich, EPFL, and ETH Zurich, has collaborated with the European Space Agency since its inception, and was founded in 2023 by CEO Gaetan Petit. The company has about 12 employees.
