AI Tools Empower Interactive Map ProjectsGoogle Maps introduced AI-powered tools to enable developers and users to create interactive projects. Key innovations include:

• A builder agent that generates code for map-based prototypes through natural language descriptions (e.g., "create a real-time weather map")
• A styling agent for customizing map aesthetics to match brand-specific themes
• Grounding Lite, a feature allowing developers to integrate external data sources via the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• , a low-code component displaying answers in list, map, or 3D formats
• , a code assistant connecting to Google Maps' technical documentation

These tools leverage Google's Gemini AI models and expand upon existing map data grounding capabilities. The builder agent, in particular, aims to democratize map development by enabling users to create complex projects without extensive coding expertise Google Maps releases new AI tools that let you create interactive projects.
