Capabilities

The General Agent has access to all of Ploti’s core capabilities:
  • Navigate to any location
  • View and toggle map layers
  • Create visual filters on the map
  • Search for parcels and properties
  • Look up parcel details and ownership
  • Analyze property characteristics
  • Execute Python code for analysis
  • Create and manage checkpoints
  • Generate reports and documents
  • Search the web for information
  • Look up zoning codes and ordinances
  • Research municipal regulations

When to Use

Use General Agent when:

  • You’re exploring and not sure what you’re looking for yet
  • You need to navigate multiple areas in one session
  • You want to guide the research direction yourself
  • Your workflow doesn’t fit a specialized agent

Consider a different agent when:

  • You need systematic property search (use Property Search Agent)
  • You want a structured, guided workflow

Example Workflows

Exploratory Research

You: "Show me the zoning in downtown Austin"
Agent: [Navigates to Austin, displays zoning layer]

You: "What's the maximum height allowed in this CBD zone?"
Agent: [Researches Austin zoning code, provides height limits]

You: "Now compare that to Denver's CBD"
Agent: [Navigates to Denver, researches their zoning]

Property Lookup

You: "Find the parcel at 123 Main Street"
Agent: [Locates parcel, displays on map]

You: "Who owns this property?"
Agent: [Retrieves ownership information]

You: "What other properties do they own nearby?"
Agent: [Searches for related parcels]

Custom Analysis

You: "Create a filter showing all parcels over 5 acres"
Agent: [Creates visual filter on map]

You: "Now narrow that to only commercially zoned parcels"
Agent: [Refines filter with zoning criteria]

Tips for Best Results

1

Be specific

The more context you provide, the better the agent can help. Include location, property type, and what you’re trying to accomplish.
2

Guide the direction

Tell the agent what you’re trying to accomplish. It adapts to your needs but works best with clear goals.
3

Use checkpoints

Save intermediate results for complex analyses. This lets you return to previous states without re-running work.
4

Ask follow-ups

Build on previous responses to refine your research. The agent maintains context throughout the conversation.
