Tech

Despite the many benefits it provides, navigating the world of Earth observation data and tools can sometimes feel like charting new territory. Sifting through documentation, API specifications, community forums, and support articles to find that one crucial piece of information can take valuable time away from core work – extracting insights and building innovative solutions.

But what if there was a guide, an AI assistant ready to synthesize the vast landscape of Planet knowledge?

We're thrilled to announce a game-changing upgrade to our Planet documentation (docs.planet.com): the introduction of Planet Docs AI! This new feature brings the intelligence of AI directly to your fingertips, transforming how you find the answers you need about Planet Insights Platform. This AI assistant is trained on Planet documentation, API specifications, GitHub repositories, Planet Community, and Support Center.

Meet Your Intelligent Guide: Planet Docs AI

Now you have the ability to ask any question about Planet's data or tools and instantly receive a concise, synthesized answer. That's the power of Planet Docs AI. This tool is designed to be the go-to resource for quickly tackling common technical questions, understanding various use cases, and even generating code snippets for common tasks. It’s an expert that can provide instant answers and solutions right at your fingertips.

This intelligent assistant can:

  • Search Across Multiple Sources: It doesn't just look through documentation pages. Planet Docs AI intelligently sifts through hundreds of documentation pages, API specifications, our comprehensive GitHub Repositories, vibrant Planet Community discussions, helpful Planet Support Center articles, and more — all in one unified search.
  • Synthesize Information: Gone are the days of piecing together information from multiple sources. The AI agent analyzes the relevant resources and generates a clear, summarized answer directly addressing your query.
  • Provide Concrete Examples: Need to see it in action? Planet Docs AI can often provide practical examples, including code snippets pulled directly from our API documentation and GitHub repositories, providing a head start on implementation.
  • Link to the Source: Transparency is key. Every answer provided by Planet Docs AI comes with clear citations and direct links to the original sources, allowing you to dive deeper into the details.

See It in Action

Let's look at a couple real-world examples of how Planet Docs AI can empower you:

  • Understanding Product Suitability: You might ask, "Hey AI, which Planet products are most useful for analyzing the potential damage of flooding to cornfields in the state of Nebraska?" In seconds, the AI agent can find relevant resources and generate an answer summary suggesting PlanetScope and Analysis-Ready PlanetScope, along with specifics on applicable radiometry options and where to perform analysis with this imagery — all with links to the supporting documentation.
  • Generating Code Snippets: Need to automate a task? Try asking, "Hey, Planet AI, how do I query PlanetScope imagery for San Francisco, California for the last three months and clip it to the city's boundaries to be delivered to my cloud storage?" The AI can pull from API documentation and GitHub examples to provide you with a starting point for a tailored script using real API calls, ready for you to refine and integrate into your workflow.

Unlock Efficiency and Accelerate Your Work

The benefits of Planet Docs AI are clear:

  • Save Time: Stop spending valuable time manually searching through disparate resources. Get the answers you need in moments.
  • Improve Understanding: The AI's synthesized summaries provide clear and concise explanations, helping you grasp complex concepts more quickly.
