Existing AI context infrastructure was built for traditional text, code and databases. The most consequential enterprise decisions involve assets in space: supply chains, climate exposure, geopolitics, infrastructure, and more.Wherobots enables teams to process satellite imagery at planetary scale, run precise spatial joins across billions of geometries, deploy computer vision models on Earth data, and enable AI agents with persistent memory of everything their organization has ever built within the physical world. Built by the original creators of Apache Sedona (68M+ downloads), using the SQL and Python teams already know.
