AI employees that know the map

An AI employee is a flow with a job

Every AI employee has a role, something it works on, a time it works, the data it can read and a place it reports to. Underneath, it is a flow: blocks that run in order, which you can open on the canvas and change with a click. The Flows page shows your flows as your team, each one with its picture, its role, what it works on and whether it is working.

The role comes from what the flow does: change its blocks and the employee changes with them. The same pattern answers very different questions: which companies near us are hiring buyers, which roads are closed this morning and which of our vans is nearest, which new competitors opened in our territory, how many clinics sit within two kilometres of a site, or what a customer asks our WhatsApp number at midnight.

Hire one in five steps

Most teams go from a blank page to a working AI employee in about ten minutes. Do each step yourself on the canvas, or let Ask xMap do them and check its work. The Help center walks through each step in detail.

1. 1

   Describe the job, or hire from a template

   Tell Ask xMap what you need in your own words. It shows its steps as it works, puts each block on the canvas the moment it writes it, tests the flow on sample data, fixes what it finds and says plainly what is left, all within a minute. Or press Hire on one of 1,000 templates written for 40 industries, answer two or three questions (the city, the kind of place) and it starts working. Give it your company's website and it suggests the first hires for your business.

   • Ask xMap explains, changes and fixes any employee in a chat next to the canvas, with Undo
   • Templates say the job each one does and the hours it saves
   • The home page runs a real one for any city, with no account
2. 2

   Tell it where to work

   The Area of interest block holds the places an employee cares about: cities, whole countries, one address with a distance around it, areas you draw on the map, points you click, or a shape pasted from GIS. Every data block after it searches there. Find nearest adds your own sites, from a file or a table, so each result knows its closest branch, depot or ambulance. Travel area draws what can be reached from each place in a number of minutes by car, walking or cycling, so an employee searches where customers can really get to.

   • Big areas are covered in parts, so nothing in the middle is missed
   • A city can come with each request, so one employee serves every city

   Give it data access

   Pick what it reads: places of any of 5,000+ types from xMap's database, a live scan of online maps, companies hiring, road incidents, the weather, who lives around a site, a fresh satellite picture, ships at sea, the news from feeds and pages you choose, or a country dataset. Add your own: a table you upload, a Google Sheet, your PostgreSQL, BigQuery or Snowflake database, your CRM, or contacts from your Apollo account.

   • Every block tells you what it brings and what it costs before it runs
   • Fields flow from block to block, so any later block can use them

   Let it think and decide

   xMap AI reads every result and scores, ranks, labels or summarises it, always with a one-line reason. Rules do the rest: Only new remembers what it already sent, What changed spots closures and new phone numbers, Filter, Sort, Branch and Remove duplicates shape the list, Split by territory shares it fairly between your reps and Route planner puts each rep's visits in order, and Approval waits for a person before anything goes out.

   • An AI agent can use other blocks as tools and remember each conversation
   • Custom code and calculated fields for the cases a block does not cover

   Put it to work

   Press Run once to see real results now. Press Deploy, one click, and your new teammate works on its own: on a schedule, when your system calls it, when something happens in an app, when a row is added to a table, or when someone writes to its chat page. It reports to email, Slack, Google Sheets, WhatsApp, Telegram, Teams, Outlook, a live map, any web address through the HTTP block, or your database.

   • Test runs show exactly what would be sent, and send nothing
   • Everything it finds is kept in Results for your team to work

What it hands you each morning

A short list you can act on before your first coffee, each with the reason it made the list, and Results where your people work it.

What they can see, and what is live today

We say plainly which blocks return live data and which return sample figures. Sample blocks are marked in the editor, cost nothing, and every email and message they feed says which figures are samples. This table follows the product: a block switched off is not listed.

Your own data works the same way: My data (tables you upload and lists you save), Database query and Save to my database for PostgreSQL, BigQuery and Snowflake, CRM lookup, Match with my table to skip existing customers, and MCP tool for any system that speaks MCP. Every block, with its settings, what comes out, use cases and a short film, is on the Blocks page.

How they think, decide and act

AI is not a chat window on the side: it is how each employee works. It reads every result, decides, writes and answers, and every answer comes with its reason. New to the words? AI agents, lead scoring and more are explained in Learn.

Where they report

Your AI employees report where your team already works. Connect an account once, and every employee in your team can use it. The apps below are switched on today; more are ready and switched on when you ask.

Your people and their AI teammates

An employee that works every morning brings your people a fresh list, scored and explained. Your people decide what to do with it.

Your market and your team, in one place

What your employees find comes together on a map and in their own inbox, and each person has a first screen that fits their work.

They work on their own, and tell you when they cannot

Deploy is one click. From then on each employee works without anyone pressing a button, and you hear from it only when it matters.

Costs you see before you run

xMap Flows is paid in credits for what actually runs: data found, AI used, messages sent. Logic, triggers and lookups in your own systems are free.

Plans and prices are agreed with each customer for now. Book a call and we will size it with you.

Start with free credits, then pick a monthly plan or buy credits that never expire. Every plan, pack and price.

Safe for your company

Built so that each person sees what they should, and nobody else, including us.
