PangeAI

Main content start

AI-driven platform to democratize spatial intelligence and accelerate land and climate decision-making.

About the Technology

Decisions about land use, climate resilience, and nature-based solutions are becoming increasingly critical for businesses, governments, and conservation organizations. Yet today, access to the necessary spatial and environmental data remains fragmented, highly technical, and slow—requiring deep expertise in GIS, regulatory frameworks, and environmental science. Most organizations lack the internal capacity to rapidly integrate complex spatial, regulatory, and community data into clear, actionable insights. As a result, opportunities for investment, development, and conservation are often delayed—or missed altogether.

Meanwhile, investments in nature-based solutions, climate resilience, and sustainable land use demand faster, more inclusive and data-driven decision-making. Yet without intuitive AI-powered tools, scaling these efforts across sectors remains out of reach for most teams.

PangeAI fills this critical gap. Our AI-powered, web-based software platform allows users to ask plain-language questions—such as "How has this land changed over the last five years?" or "What restoration opportunities exist based on ecological suitability?"—and receive instant, decision-ready answers. PangeAI automatically integrates diverse spatial datasets, regulatory information, and local knowledge into fast, map-based, easy-to-understand outputs—without requiring any GIS or data science expertise. With PangeAI, organizations can move from data to decision in minutes—not months.

The HIT Fund is supporting the development and deployment of PangeAI to equip businesses, project developers, and public agencies with the tools they need to make faster, smarter, and more sustainable land and climate decisions.
