In the following chat box type this questions below and click on the "Send" button:

What is Heat Stress?

How does the PET formula work?

Item Assistant

• Close the previous chat panel.

What your Overlay ID?

Rename to "test overlay"

Project Coder

Sofar you have been working with the basic WIKI and Items assistants. To do more advanced things like TQL or coding you need the advanced "Project Coder" agent. Go to

Editor → Community (Ribbon tab) → Chats (Ribbon bar) → Project Coder (Dropdown)

• This opens the slower but more advanced model needed for coding.
• Ask it the following questions:

Give me a TQL query for the average value of overlay 15?

Adjust the query to calculate the value per neighborhood

Run the query

Plot this as a bar chart in a Panel

Check the result by opening the newly created panel in the "Panels" menu.

Panel with average noise per neighborhood.

You can also ask the Project Coder to adjust the overlay further:

Set the background noise to 50 for overlay 15

Explain what I am seeing

What is the API endpoint for this overlay?

Drag & Drop

The Agents also support dropping files and using it in the chat.

• Select the wiki page you are currently reading by dragging the URL (in Firefox this can be done via the lock icon next to the URL address bar) and dropping the URL in the chat input field.
• When succesfull "TEXT" will appear next to the field.
• Ask the AI to:

Summarize

• This can also be done for regular PDF or image files or a GeoJSON endpoint from another project.
