What it does

Every morning: road incidents in your city, how many people live within 1 km of each, the most serious first with a situation note from an AI agent (hospitals and schools nearby), emailed to the traffic team and mapped.

In one sentence: Every day at 06:00, in Cairo, find road closures, roadworks and other incidents, count who lives around, sort them by population and keep the top 20, let the AI agent answer, then email the list to you and show them on a map.

Why it is useful

Incidents in dense areas affect more people. Ranking them by people affected helps decide where to send crews first.

The time it saves

Every day at 06:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 30 minutes each time; it runs about 30 times a month, so it saves about 15 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks and 1 tool.

  6. Situation note from the AI agentxMap AI · AI agentAn AI agent: for each incoming message it thinks, uses the blocks you link to its Tools port (data, xMap AI, lookups, your tables, other flows, apps), remembers the conversation and writes an answer in {{reply}}.
  7. Hospitals and schools around itxMap data · Nearby placesA tool the AI agent uses when it needs itPlaces around a point from xMap’s own places database (300M+ places, refreshed every month): pick the types of place (more than 5,000, such as Restaurant, Cafe, Pharmacy, Hospital or Gas station, or a whole group of them) and how far to look.
  8. Email me the listAction · EmailSends one email per run with all the items, or one email per item.
