Spatial Agents -> Transforms live news into structured intelligence dashboards using Apple Intelligence. All AI analysis happens entirely on your device — no cloud processing, no data collection, no subscriptions. INTELLIGENCE DASHBOARDS Enter any topic and get a comprehensive briefing generated on-device: executive summary, event timeline, quantitative metrics, actor networks, forecasts, reasoning, and links. The on-device AI analyzes relevant articles and produces a structured dashboard in seconds. PROGRESSIVE REFINEMENT Start with a dashboard and refine it. Each round deepens the analysis — adding new sources, updating forecasts, and sharpening insights. Watch your briefing evolve as the AI iterates. DEEP ANALYSIS Go beyond dashboards with hierarchical decomposition. The AI breaks complex topics into sub-themes, producing a layered, multi-level investigation you can explore interactively. LIVE ANIMATIONS Track ships and aircraft moving in real time on the map. Pick your own city — San Francisco, Boston, or any port or airfield you choose — and watch maritime and air traffic populate as vessels report in. Weather alerts and temporary flight restrictions overlay the map automatically. MULTI-SOURCE INTELLIGENCE Pull from many sources including USGS earthquakes, NASA EONET natural events, NWS weather alerts, GDELT global events, and more. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Spatial Agents uses Apple's on-device foundation model. Your topics, analysis, and dashboards never leave your device. The only network activity is fetching public news feeds. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone 15 Pro or greater • Apple Intelligence must be enabled Built for people who want to understand the world around them — without giving up their privacy to do it.
