Wherobots MCP Server: Building GEOINT Spatial Pipelines with AI Agents

Editor’s note: The Wherobots Spatial Data Catalog is now the Havasu Catalog. I built three national-security GEOINT use cases on the Wherobots stack in days instead of weeks. A Critical Infrastructure Vulnerability (CIV) pipeline with two regional variants, plus a border-corridor analysis on real transportation segments. The Wherobots geospatial MCP server is what made that […]

Introducing Scalability for GeoPandas in Apache Sedona

Learn about the new GeoPandas API for Apache Sedona, now available in Wherobots. This new API allows GeoPandas developers to seamlessly scale their analysis beyond what a single compute instance can provide, unlocking insights from large-scale datasets. This integration combines the Pythonic GeoPandas API with the distributed processing power of Apache Sedona.
