- For
- GIS analysts and public-agency teams using ArcGIS
- Worth noticing
- Northing says queries are read-only and assistant actions are logged; edits require line-by-line review before being pushed back.
Field notes
The documented workflow starts with ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise, or GIS-file layers and retains details such as coordinate systems and Z and M values. The assistant example exposes both the generated SQL and its steps; the site also describes a review stage before edits return to a source layer. Northing says its private beta is open for macOS.
