The world's public spatial data.
In one query.
Shelob collects spatial data published by governments and public agencies around the world, keeps every version, and lets people, AI agents and model builders query it in one place. Every record comes with its source and licence.

QUERY
THE CONTEXT
Find the connections a single dataset misses.
Most spatial datasets show one slice of one place. Shelob holds hundreds of millions of observations from tens of thousands of sources, so you can see everything recorded about a place, what changed between versions, and where sources agree or disagree. People use the app, agents query through MCP or the API, and model builders can license the data in bulk.
HUMAN / BUSINESS QUERYPLAIN LANGUAGE
ASK SHELOB
Which insured logistics sites have higher flood and access exposure than at their last renewal? What changed?
ILLUSTRATIVE DECISION BRIEF
06
sites need review
New water observations and boundary shifts increased exposure across six logistics sites. Two crossed the portfolio escalation threshold this quarter.

TRACE
THE RIGHTS
The source stays with the data.
So does the licence.
Each observation keeps its publisher, source URL, timestamp, licence record and original attributes. Before using it, a team can see whether the licence is permissive, restricted or still unknown.

04 / INDUSTRIES
For work where one dataset is never the whole picture.
Insurers, planners, infrastructure teams and model builders all ask questions that need several sources at once. Shelob lets them ask once and see where every part of the answer came from.
01MODEL DATA
Frontier AI
Give models attributed evidence about the physical world across space and time.
EXAMPLE QUESTION
What changed here, why and which evidence may the model use?
02RISK
Insurance & reinsurance
Track exposure as assets, hazards, access and surroundings change.
EXAMPLE QUESTION
Which insured assets are moving into higher risk before renewal?
03PEOPLE
Health & life sciences
Connect environmental exposure, population change, service access and infrastructure.
EXAMPLE QUESTION
Where do heat, air quality, access and population pressure overlap?
04PLACES
Planning & government
See how land use, approvals, infrastructure and activity shape a place over time.
EXAMPLE QUESTION
Where will growth outpace infrastructure, and what is driving it?
05PROJECTS
Construction & infrastructure
Join site constraints, utilities, approvals, hazards, access and nearby activity.
EXAMPLE QUESTION
Which hidden dependencies could change cost, access or schedule?
06NETWORKS
Energy & utilities
Track network assets against weather, development, outages and access.
EXAMPLE QUESTION
Which assets are becoming critical points of failure?
07MOVEMENT
Logistics & industrial
Connect freight activity, route conditions, hazards, industrial land and port signals.
EXAMPLE QUESTION
Which sites and corridors are heading towards disruption?
08CAPITAL
Property & investment
Put every asset in the context of planning, infrastructure, risk and local change.
EXAMPLE QUESTION
What is changing around this asset before value or liquidity moves?
