Felt, worked by an AI employee
Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Felt account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Felt is
Felt is a modern GIS platform that allows users to create, modify, and share interactive maps, integrating powerful mapping capabilities into various workflows and applications.
You paste in a key from your own Felt account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Felt whenever you like.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.
