Scripted product preview

Example question · the same brief in both views

I want to open a new coffee shop in Berlin. My concept is a takeaway chain. Also show any competitors in the vicinity.

This question is part of the script and can’t be edited.

A scripted location question, shown in Empla and through an illustrative agent connection. Planned capabilities, not live analysis.

Plan your next
storefront.

We plan to bring demographics, mobility, competitors and catchment areas into one place so you can compare locations against your business needs. Start with your question and adjust it as you learn.

See what we’re building

Find promising areas.

Empla will combine demographic, mobility, competitor and catchment-area data to rank areas against what your business needs.

See why they fit.

The planned rankings will explain why a location fits your business. You'll be able to compare alternatives and adjust the ranking when your format or requirements change.

Find properties to investigate.

We're building Empla to help you find relevant properties in those areas, with the evidence behind each suggestion available as you decide what to investigate.

Location tools.
For your team
and your agent.

An AI model doesn’t automatically have the spatial tools or current geospatial data needed to assess a location. We’re building Empla so teams and their agents can use that information when planning an expansion.

An MCP interface is in development so your chosen agent can use Empla’s location tools and evidence. You’ll stay in control of the decisions.

Questions about Empla.

What we’re building, what the preview shows and how you’ll be able to use it.

What is Empla?

We're building a location intelligence platform for expansion teams and AI agents deciding where to open their next storefront. It will rank promising locations and explain why they fit, with relevant properties to investigate.

What data will Empla use?

We plan to combine demographic, mobility, competitor and catchment-area data with your expansion requirements. The scripted preview uses a limited OpenStreetMap example. It doesn't show all of those sources or run a live ranking.

Why would my AI agent use Empla?

An AI model doesn't automatically have the spatial tools or current geospatial data a location decision needs. We're building Empla to provide that data and the reasoning behind location suggestions. A planned MCP interface will make those tools available to agents.

Do I have to follow a fixed process?

No. You can start with your current question and return to a comparison or change your requirements later. Bring in existing stores, customer criteria or property requirements when you need them.

Can I use my own AI agent?

That's the plan. We're developing an MCP interface so your chosen agent can use Empla's tools and evidence. The preview shows how this could work, but the connection isn't live.

Is the product preview a live demo?

No. It follows a script adapted from our prototype. The functional MVP is still in development. The page doesn't run a fresh location analysis or send messages.

What does the map example tell me?

It shows OpenStreetMap geometry and mapped objects from the prototype's local example. The counts don't estimate demand or recommend opening a site.

Where are you
thinking of opening?

Tell us about your business, the market you’re considering and the information you still need. We’d like to hear what would help you decide.
