Google Maps releases new AI tools that let you create interactive projects

Google Maps introduced new AI-powered tools that allow developers to create interactive map projects through simple text descriptions, such as "create a Street View tour" or "visualize real-time weather." The builder agent generates code automatically using Gemini models, while a styling agent creates customized maps for specific themes or brands. Additional features include Grounding Lite for connecting AI models to Maps data and an MCP server that helps developers access Google Maps documentation and APIs more easily.
