Meet Contour. An AI-powered GIS that lets you fetch, analyze, and visualize spatial data using just natural language.

No downloads. No heavy files. No code. No clutter.
In this first demo, we load all the data needed to study the California High-Speed Rail Project — using only simple prompts. From rail routes to ACS Census data.
Watch what takes hours elsewhere happen here in minutes.
This is just the beginning.

If you're a planner, analyst or decision-maker working with maps — Contour is built for you.
DM us or comment below. We'd love to show you more.

Its time to stop relying on complex GIS / GIS type UI tools and then use additional tools like spreadsheets for some tasks, office suite products for other tasks and then a third product for something else.
Its complicated and time consuming.

Here's the new workflow if you use any spatial tools at all.
1. All your data lives in @wherobots - and whatever data you need but don't have, Contour pulls that in for your on-demand.
2. Contour sits on top of it and works as your orchestrator. Custom configured to your needs - your industry - your org - your team - and YOU
3. Write simple, natural language workflows. In fact, just dictate the workflow if you want.
4. Execute and get outputs as defined.

Do more. Faster, easier and cleaner.

Not all spots have data.
Where we have the data, I’ve added it.
Where we don’t, if everyone contributes, we can have it soon.

Ps. My ui and frontedn skills are shit.

Part 2.
What used to take hours — calculating fields, performing spatial joins, clipping and intersecting layers — now takes seconds.

In Part 2 of our demo, we show how Contour handles spatial operations with ease. From vulnerability scoring to buffer and building intersections — all through plain English prompts.
