OrionAI is everywhere now, so its separate page is gone

13 October 2026The OrionGIS team

OrionAI started as a page of its own. It now lives on every page, in the Ask OrionAI panel, the inline chips and the Map Studio assistant, so with OrionAI 2.0 the separate page and its sidebar link are retired.

OrionAI began as a destination: a page in the sidebar where you typed a question and waited for a map. Since then it has moved into the places you already work. OrionAI 2.0 finishes that move and retires the separate page.

#Where to ask now

  • On any page, open the Ask OrionAI panel with the sparkle button or Ctrl+K. It knows what you are looking at: the dataset, form, dashboard or project on screen.
  • On a dataset, form or dashboard, click one of the Ask OrionAI chips at the top, such as Summarise or Explain this dashboard.
  • To make a map from a question, use Ask Orion AI to make a map on Home. Map Studio opens with the assistant already building it, and the map is yours to keep and edit.
  • The search box at the top of every page answers in the panel too.

#What changes for you

The Orion AI item is gone from the sidebar, and old links to the page now open Home. Questions now go to the panel, and analysis and maps to the Map Studio assistant, closer to your data.

See The Ask OrionAI panel for the details, and the release notes for the full list.
