CARTO is revolutionizing geospatial analysis by integrating AI tools and coding agents into its platform, enabling teams to create complex spatial workflows and maps more efficiently. The latest updates allow analysts to leverage AI agents for building maps, configuring workflows, and developing custom spatial applications, thus freeing them to focus on data insights and strategic questions. The enhancements in Q2 include improved organizational features within the CARTO Workspace, such as projects and folders, and advanced analytics capabilities for platforms like Oracle and Databricks. The introduction of CARTO for Agents, a major release, integrates the platform with AI workflows used by enterprises, offering tools like CARTO CLI, MCP Server, and Agent Skills to enhance productivity. Additionally, CARTO has improved traceability of AI agent actions, ensuring transparency and validation of AI-generated outputs, while supporting connections to leading AI providers to align with existing organizational infrastructures. These advancements make spatial analysis more accessible and scalable, promoting wider adoption of AI in geospatial workflows.

CARTO, a leading Agentic GIS platform, has partnered with Bufete de Soluciones Integrales (BSI) to deliver advanced geospatial capabilities to organizations in Mexico, enabling them to place Location Intelligence at the core of their business strategies. This collaboration allows Mexican businesses to efficiently utilize their existing data warehouses for spatial analysis, thereby bypassing the need for new infrastructure or lengthy development projects. With CARTO's platform, companies from various industries such as retail, logistics, and telecommunications can effectively visualize, analyze, and act on geographic data, similar to how North American companies like T-Mobile and Instacart have optimized their operations. The partnership grants access to CARTO's comprehensive suite of geospatial tools, including Agentic GIS, which democratizes spatial analysis beyond GIS specialists, allowing business users to query spatial data in plain language. BSI, with its experience and understanding of the Mexican market, is set to facilitate the integration of CARTO's technology, ensuring that geographic information is transformed into strategic decisions, resource optimization, and operational efficiency for Mexican enterprises.
