Hello! Today is Friday and here’s your end-of-week-catch-up on all things geospatial. 

Zero-code satellite data access: A new tutorial demonstrates using AI agents to search and visualise Microsoft Planetary Computer data with natural language, making satellite imagery accessible without coding.

The ultimate GIS file format guide: A new infographic breaks down 20 essential GIS file formats—covering vector, raster, and 3D/elevation data. A great resource to bookmark.

One-click PostGIS databases are here: A new tool on MapHub makes creating a PostGIS database as simple as a single click, making collaborative GIS projects easier than ever.

Find Sentinel-2 tiles effortlessly: The Sentinel-2 Grid Explorer is an open-source web tool that lets you visually find and share the right satellite imagery tiles from over 57,000 global options.

AI agents come to geospatial analysis: CARTO’s new Agentic GIS shows how AI can run predefined spatial analyses through simple chat commands while keeping experts in control.

Cloud detection tools join GeoAI: The MultiClean and OmniCloudMask packages are now integrated into the GeoAI package, providing better cloud detection and segmentation for satellite imagery.
