How to optimize delivery routes with your AI

Connect Jawg Maps to your agent to turn a list of addresses into a logical travel plan. Once connected, your AI handles the spatial math and pathfinding.

Short answer

How can I use AI to plan my delivery routes?

Your AI uses Jawg Maps to calculate the exact distances between all your stops and draws the most efficient lines between them. You provide the locations, and the AI handles the routing logic. This gives you a clear map of the best way to move from point A to point B.

The results of your planning

Where your logistics data lands

The AI processes your location data into these specific outputs.

LOGISTICS

Distance matrices

The AI calculates the distance between every stop in your list. You get a clear view of the total travel requirements for your fleet.

VISUAL

Route lines

The AI generates the actual paths between waypoints. You see the exact lines your drivers should follow on a map.

DECISION

Route efficiency

By comparing different paths, your AI identifies the shortest or fastest options. This helps you decide which driver takes which load.

HUMAN

Final dispatch

The AI provides the math and the paths, but you decide which route actually works for your drivers. You make the final call based on the data.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI moves from raw coordinates to a finished travel plan using two specific operations.

  1. Map the distances

    The AI looks at all your waypoints and builds a grid of distances between them to understand the scale of the trip.

    calculate_distance_matrix

  2. Draw the paths

    Once the distances are known, the AI creates the specific geometry for the travel lines.

    calculate_routing_line

  3. Analyze the sequence

    The AI uses the routing data to suggest the most logical order for your stops.

  4. Verify the route

    The AI checks the generated paths against your constraints to ensure they are viable.

FAQ

How the routing task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically send the routes to my drivers?

    No. The AI can calculate the paths and provide the data, but you must use your own messaging or dispatch tools to send them to your team.

  • 02

    Does the AI handle real-time traffic updates?

    The AI uses the routing tools provided by Jawg Maps to calculate paths, but it does not independently monitor live traffic unless the specific tool output includes it.

  • 03

    Can I upload a CSV of addresses for routing?

    Yes. You can paste the contents of a CSV or a list of addresses directly into the chat for the AI to process.

  • 04

    Will the AI change my original address list?

    No. The AI only reads your locations to perform calculations; it does not modify your source files or databases.

  • 05

    Can the AI create a custom map interface for me?

    No. The AI provides the routing lines and distance data. It does not build or host a standalone web application or map interface.
