Short answer

How can I use my AI to find indoor routes?

Your agent uses Pointr to locate specific points of interest and calculate the most efficient path between them, even across different floors. You get precise walking directions by simply naming your start and end points.

The outcomes

Where your navigation data lands

Your agent turns location data into actionable directions.

ROUTE

Efficient paths

The AI calculates the shortest distance between two points. You get a direct route that accounts for floor changes.

SEARCH

POI discovery

Your agent finds specific rooms, desks, or amenities. It identifies exactly where things are located within the building.

DETAILS

Point information

The AI pulls specific data about a location. You get the exact details for any point of interest found.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

You decide if a route is practical for your needs. The AI provides the math, but you make the final call on the path.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent follows a logical sequence to turn a vague request into a precise path.

  1. Find locations

    The agent looks up the specific points of interest you mentioned to get their coordinates.

    No. The AI only reads existing location data to calculate paths; it cannot modify the building maps.

  • 02

    Does the AI know if a hallway is blocked?

    No. The AI calculates paths based on the static map data provided by Pointr.

  • 03

    Can I ask for routes between floors?

    Yes. The tool calculates paths that include floor transitions.

  • 04

    Can the AI find a specific person's desk?

    Yes, if that desk is registered as a point of interest in the system.
