xMap LLM
xMap LLM is the AI step of a flow. You tell it what to do in plain words, and it reads everything the blocks before it found about each place: name, category, rating, address, details, reviews, scores. Set to Each item, it writes new fields on every place, such as a fit score and a reason. Set to The whole list, it writes one report about all of them for an Email or Slack message after it.
In the editor: Tell the AI what to do in plain words. It reads everything from the blocks before, plus any reference files you add. Each item: it writes new fields on every place. The whole list: it writes one report about all of them, for an Email or Slack message after it.
Settings
Work on
Pick oneOne answer per place, written into new fields on it.
- Each item
- The whole list
Task
Pick oneWhat kind of answer you want. Each task starts with its own example instructions and field names, which you can change.
- Score & rank A score from 0 to 100 for each place and a one-sentence reason. Use Filter or Sort on the score after it.
- Match products Which of your products suit each place, and a first order size. Add your catalog as a reference file.
- Write summary A short summary of each place for a sales rep or a manager.
- Read reviews Reads each place’s latest reviews and says what customers praise, what they complain about and whether it is getting better or worse, with a score of how happy recent customers are. Put POI Intelligence before it with Reviews on.
- Classify One of your labels for each place, and why. The first field is always one of the labels you list.
- Extract fields Pulls set pieces of information out of each listing and your files, and leaves a field empty when it is not there.
Labels to choose from
TextComma-separated.
Needed before the flow can run.
Instructions
Text, several linesWhat the AI should do, in your own words. Say what a good answer looks like, for example what makes a place a good customer for you.
Needed before the flow can run.
Reference files
A settingFor example your product catalog or price list. PDF, TXT, CSV, Markdown or JSON, up to 3 MB each. The AI reads their text.
Reference notes (optional)
Text, several linesShort notes the AI should keep in mind, such as your price bands, the areas you cover or the kind of customer you want.
Fields it adds
TextComma-separated field names, up to 12.
Needed before the flow can run.
What comes out
Each item that leaves the block carries these fields, to use in the blocks after it as {{field}}.
Work on: Each item
Every place keeps all its fields and gets the fields you name in Fields it adds (these are the defaults of each task).
fit_score: Score & rank: a number from 0 to 100. Any field whose name has score, fit or rank in it is a number from 0 to 100.reason: Score & rank and Classify: one short sentence on why.products: Match products: the products that suit the place.first_order: Match products: a suggested first order.summary: Write summary: a short summary for a rep.review_score: Read reviews: how happy recent customers are, from 0 to 100.praise, complaints: Read reviews: what customers like most, and what they complain about most.trend: Read reviews: whether the latest reviews are getting better or worse than the earlier ones.label: Classify: one of your labels, exactly as you wrote it.phone, website, opening_hours: Extract fields: what the listing and your files say, or empty.
Work on: The whole list
The places pass on unchanged. The report is a run value for the blocks after this one.
report: One plain-text report about everything that reached the block. Put {{report}} in an Email or Slack message; an Email block shows it at the top on its own.
How to use it
New places every morning, only new
xMap LLM ranks each new place as a sales prospect, so the email lists the best ones first with a reason for each.
How customers rate competitors
Read reviews: the AI reads the latest 10 reviews of every competitor and says what customers praise and what they complain about. Sorted unhappiest first, the email starts with the places whose customers are looking for somewhere else.
New outlets to CRM
Match products: the AI reads each new outlet and your catalog, then suggests the products, a first order and a pitch for the rep.
Risk label for new merchants
A payments company signs up small merchants and wants a first risk label before the onboarding call.
Task Classify keeps the label to your own list, and Branch sends the high-risk ones to a person first.
A summary of every new competitor
A clinic group in Melbourne wants its area managers to read two sentences about each clinic that opens near their branches.
Before: An analyst collected new clinics by hand and wrote notes a week late.
With the flow: Every Sunday each manager gets the new clinics near them, each with a short summary.
A weekly market note for a client
An agency running a gym brand wants one paragraph a week on new gyms in the client’s districts, not a spreadsheet.
Work on: The whole list writes one report; the Email block puts it at the top, above the list.
What each job posting asks for
A staffing agency wants the seniority, contract type and languages of every new posting in its city, in columns it can sort.
Extract fields with out set to seniority, contract_type, languages turns long posting texts into three tidy columns, and leaves a field empty when the posting does not say.
Dealer prospects scored on your own rules
A telecom operator scores phone and electronics shops as possible dealers, using its dealer criteria document.
Before: Area managers argued over which shops to approach.
With the flow: Every shop gets the same score from the same written rules, with a reason anyone can check.
A note on what opened near each hotel
The report reads every new place at once and says which hotels have the most new options for guests.
Good to know
- Each item: up to 500 places a run, read in batches of 25. Places past that go on without answers, and the step says so.
- The whole list reads up to 300 items for one report, and says when there were more. The items pass on unchanged.
- It adds up to 8 fields. Fields with score, fit or rank in the name are numbers from 0 to 100; the others are short text. With Classify, an answer that is not one of your labels is left out.
- It uses only the data of the flow, your notes and the text of your reference files (PDF, TXT, CSV, Markdown or JSON, up to 3 MB each; about 40,000 characters of text from up to 10 files are read). It is told to say so when something is unknown rather than guess, so check the reasons now and then.
- Pictures and internal IDs are not sent to the AI, and long texts are cut at 300 characters, so it reads each place quickly. Reviews are the exception: Each item reads them whole (up to 3,000 characters a place), a whole-list report the first 600 characters of each place’s.
- Read reviews sends only the places that have reviews; the others pass on without answers and cost nothing. With no reviews at all (Reviews off in POI Intelligence) the step stops and says so, before any credits are used.
- In your account every run uses xMap AI for real, test runs too. The home-page builder and the editor’s preview show sample answers.
- AI answers are not live data: a run on sample places still says "Preview data" in its emails.
- Credits: 5 for each place it answers (a whole-list report counts each item it reads), plus 2 for every 500 tokens the AI reads and 2 for every 100 it writes. Long texts, many fields and reference files are read, so they cost more; the step says how many tokens it used.
Works well with

- Filter: Keeps only the items that match a rule.
- Sort and limit: Puts the items in order, and can keep only the first ones: the 10 best rated, the 20 nearest, the highest fit scores.
- Branch: Splits items in two.
- Jev decision: Asks TypeSafe’s Jev model one typed question about each place: yes or no, pick one of your options, or a score on your levels.
- Place classifier: Assigns clean categories and merges duplicate places.
- Email: Sends one email per run with all the items, or one email per item.
