"At the core of the new release is Builder agent, a generative AI system that converts plain text prompts into functional, customized map prototypes within minutes. Developers can type natural instructions like "create a Street View tour of a city" or "build a map that visualizes real-time weather in my region," and Builder agent automatically produces an interactive layout using Gemini's reasoning and visualization capabilities."
"By removing the need for extensive manual setup, this tool allows developers to focus on refining their ideas rather than spending time writing code from scratch. It also enables teams to quickly test and iterate on map-based experiences-whether for tourism guides, real-estate visualization, or data-driven analytics dashboards."
"The Maps Styling agent complements Builder agent by helping developers and designers easily generate custom visual themes. Using a single prompt, users can adjust color schemes, emphasize specific map layers such as lakes, roads, or points of interest, and align the map's appearance with brand guidelines."
Google Maps Platform provides new AI products and developer tools powered by Gemini models that connect AI systems with real-world geographic information. The platform supports more than 10 million websites and apps across travel, real estate, logistics, and hospitality, and companies like Compass and Marriott International use its place data, imagery, and APIs. Builder agent generates functional, customized map prototypes from plain-text prompts within minutes, producing interactive layouts with reasoning and visualization. Maps Styling agent creates custom visual themes from single prompts, adjusting color schemes and emphasizing map layers to match brand guidelines. The tools reduce manual setup and accelerate iteration.
