Unrestricted Mode

Best for: Navigating multiple areas or when you want flexibility within a single session.
In unrestricted mode:
  • The agent can work across any location
  • You can navigate the map freely and ask questions about different areas
  • The agent uses the current map view as context
  • Great for exploratory research spanning multiple regions

When to Use Unrestricted Mode

  • Comparing properties or zoning across different cities
  • General questions that aren’t tied to a specific boundary
  • Exploratory research where you’re not sure what area you’ll focus on
  • Quick lookups and navigation assistance

Boundary Restricted Mode

Best for: Focused research on a specific area where accuracy matters.
In boundary restricted mode:
  • You draw a boundary on the map before starting
  • All agent queries are scoped to that boundary
  • The agent has deeper context about the jurisdictions within your boundary
  • Reduces errors by constraining the research area
  • Enables specialized agents like Property Search

When to Use Boundary Restricted Mode

  • Searching for properties within a specific market
  • Detailed zoning analysis for a defined area
  • Research that requires high accuracy within a known boundary
  • Using specialized agents that require a boundary
