# GeoAI

Welcome to the GeoAI documentation for Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro!

## About

Microsoft is developing GeoAI (Geospatial Artificial Intelligence) solutions by delivering tools and tutorials that unify the geospatial data management capabilities of Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro and the Azure AI platform Microsoft Foundry. Through a combination of first-party and third-party models, Microsoft is building an ecosystem of GeoAI capabilities for organizations to deploy at scale with Azure Cloud.

We are using this resource to share and distribute materials to help guide your organization on your journey to build AI powered geospatial solutions. As new models and capabilities are released we will announce them through our product blogs for [Planetary Computer Pro](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/azure/blog/microsoft-planetary-computer-blog) or [Microsoft Foundry](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/azure-ai-foundry/blog/azure-ai-foundry-blog), and provide documentation, examples, and tutorials here.

## GeoAI SDK (Preview)

The Planetary Computer Pro [GeoAI SDK](./geoai-sdk/README.md) provides an extensible, Python API for working with geospatial AI models. By abstracting interactions with Planetary Computer, Planetary Computer Pro, and GeoAI models hosted in Microsoft Foundry.  As new models are added to the geospatial ai model offerings in Foundry, the GeoAI SDK can be extended to support new models while providing an easy to use and consistent user experience.

## Azure Services

### Microsoft Planetary Computer

The Planetary Computer combines a multi-petabyte catalog of global environmental data with intuitive APIs, a flexible scientific environment that allows users to answer global questions about that data, and applications that put those answers in the hands of conservation stakeholders.
