Placer.ai Pi answers business questions that turn on measured real-world behavior. Ask a full analytical question in plain language and Pi runs a complete Placer.ai analysis - foot traffic trends, visitor demographics and journeys, trade areas, cross-shopping, and sales and spend - then returns a written answer with data-honesty caveats, any web sources it used, and a deep link that opens the same analysis, with its interactive map, in Pi. A full analysis normally takes several minutes: ask_pi starts it and returns a handle, and get_pi_result collects the answer, reporting progress while the work runs. Typical workflows include store and portfolio performance, trade-area and site analysis, competitive benchmarking, tenant mix and co-tenancy review, market feasibility, and category or market-share tracking. Follow-up questions can reuse a previous analysis so the numbers stay consistent across a conversation. Access requires a Placer.ai account with Pi and the MCP access entitlement; Pi returns only the data the signed-in Placer user is entitled to see.
