Felt AI unleashed: Build spatial applications with just a prompt

Introducing Felt AI, your built-in spatial engineer that turns ideas into purpose-built apps instantly.

We are pleased to announce Felt has successfully raised $15 million from Energize Capital, with participation from BCV and Footwork. The funding will accelerate our mission to transform the legacy GIS experience and deliver on the next generation of true geospatial enablement.

Felt is already empowering teams across industries like climate, energy, and government to move faster and make better business decisions with a modern, collaborative platform that goes beyond the constraints of legacy GIS. But until now, turning ideas into purpose-built applications with interactive workflows, tailored logic, and custom user interfaces still required engineering resources and complex infrastructure.

Today that changes, with the introduction of Felt AI.

Introducing Felt AI

Felt AI is your built-in spatial engineer that cuts deployment times by 75%. Whether you're building applications, writing complex queries, or designing custom interactions, Felt AI handles all the technical details while you focus on solving spatial problems.

Just describe what you want, directly in the map, and watch as your spatial conversations turn into tools that enable your entire organization.

Extensions: AI-powered application building

Transform your ideas into complete, interactive applications with Extensions.

Your team can now turn any Felt map into an app with buttons, panels, workflows, and logic that respond to user interaction, all without writing code. Everything runs natively at the same URL as your map, with no separate infrastructure or deployment pipeline.

Just type a prompt and watch as your map instantly transforms into a working application:

"Build a tool that draws lines to all destination counties on click with travel mode options and filters”

"Build an application that compares neighborhoods and summarizes land use patterns"

"Animate the flow of the Mississippi River Basin from its headwaters to the Gulf of Mexico”

"Create a story map that guides users through agricultural regions”

Application building made effortless

Behind these simple prompts is a sophisticated system designed to make application building effortless.

out-of-the-box ui components are designed to keep the look and feel professional no matter the use case

Professional UI components - Create polished applications with panels, buttons, and selections using Felt's native UI elements. No external frameworks or styling required. Everything looks and feels like it belongs in your map.
AI-powered assistance - Felt AI helps you create Extensions through natural conversation, understanding your layers, your data, and your intent to generate production-ready code.
Instant feedback as you create - Build, test, and refine your Extensions right inside your map with live previews and instant updates.
Zero infrastructure - You don't need a dev environment or deployment pipeline. There's nothing to host, deploy, or manage. Share your map and you're sharing your app.
Built with developers in mind - Under the hood, Extensions use the Felt SDK. Developers can review, customize, and extend the AI-generated code directly in Felt's live preview environment.

Felt AI, everywhere

Extensions mark the beginning of our vision for AI everywhere there are code-heavy workflows in Felt. The same conversational approach that builds applications will transform how you query data and design map interactions.

These features are rolling out gradually to customers over the coming weeks.

SQL queries made simple

Complex database queries will happen through plain language. Felt AI will generate sophisticated JOIN statements, spatial functions, and filtering logic automatically. No SQL expertise required.

Create rich interactions with custom popups

Custom information displays become as simple as describing what you want. Felt AI generates popups with professional styling and interactive elements. No HTML or CSS required.

Go from idea to solution, instantly

Welcome to the future where technical barriers disappear and your team focuses entirely on solving problems rather than wrestling with implementation. With Felt AI, every spatial professional becomes a developer, every idea becomes achievable, and every conversation becomes a solution that enables your organization.
