Who's doing AI Agent work with GIS data? If I wanted to map the fiber internet options in my town, what kinds of tools would I use?

For fiber mapping, start with your state broadband office or the FCC National Broadband Map data, which you can download by address. Load it into QGIS and color by provider and speed; an AI agent is handy for writing the cleanup scripts, but the map itself is mostly a data-joining job.

Thanks! National Broadband Map is super helpful, I actually didn’t realize this was a thing. I was thinking last night about what it would take to submit a request to my town to invest in fiber deployment through the parts that have only cable coverage.
