Inbuilt Data Connectors

Aino provides a comprehensive data library that you can use directly in your projects — no manual uploads or connections required.

Using the Data Library

You don’t need to upload or connect data manually. Simply use Aino’s AI Assistant to query the data you need. You can:

• Describe in detail the type of data source you want to use, or

• Use the @ symbol to select an existing data connector tag.

For best performance, we recommend querying areas smaller than 5 km in radius.

Finding Locations in Aino

Aino AI provides two ways to find locations on the map: using Google Addresses or MapTiler Location Search.

Google Addresses

When you ask for an address, Aino AI may use the Google Maps API to display the correct location on a map. This is the same mapping service used by Google Maps.

To use this feature, simply provide an address in your message. For example:

75 9th Ave, New York, NY 10011

Aino will then generate a new layer showing this location on the map.

MapTiler Locations

Another way to quickly find a location is by using MapTiler Location Search. This is not an AI service, but it is fast and free to use.

To use it, type / followed by the location you are interested in. For example:

/Netherlands

Aino will display the location on the map as an element.

This does not return a data set. You can use the element as a boundary for your work, but it does not include any attributes, and spatial analysis capabilities are limited.
