GeoGPT: An assistant for understanding and processing geospatial tasks

Decision-makers in GIS often need to combine multiple spatial algorithms and operations to solve geospatial tasks. While professionals can understand and solve these tasks by using GIS tools sequentially, developing workflows for various tasks can be inefficient, as even slight differences in tasks require corresponding adjustments in the workflow. Recently, large language models (e.g., ChatGPT) presented a strong performance in semantic understanding and reasoning. Especially, AutoGPT can further extend the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) by automatically reasoning and calling externally defined tools. Inspired by these studies, we attempt to increase the efficiency of developing workflows for…
