Birdi is a collaborative geospatial platform that helps teams work from the same map by uploading, processing, and sharing geospatial insights from one centralized platform. The platform bridges the gap between GIS experts, operations teams, and decision-makers with real-time map collaboration, commenting directly on maps, activity feeds, role-based permissions, and view-only sharing links. Birdi offers AI-powered feature detection for inspection photos and aerial imagery, automated reporting, and digital twin capabilities. While not CRE-specific, Birdi is used in construction, infrastructure, agriculture, and real estate for site documentation, progress tracking, and property analysis.
