# tanitdata

> tanitdata is an AI-native studio based in Tunis, Tunisia, working at the
> intersection of open data, artificial intelligence, and public policy. The
> studio closes the gap between open data and public understanding in the AI
> era through a single practice in three stages: (1) access — AI-native
> infrastructure that makes open data directly addressable by AI assistants;
> (2) analyze — the studio and its research fellows turn accessible data into
> specific, contestable, empirically grounded conclusions; (3) inform —
> publishing designed for how public actors, funders, journalists, and civil
> society actually read, so that evidence reaches the people whose decisions
> it should inform. A distinctive voice runs across the three stages: public
> positioning on how open data should be made accessible in the AI era, with
> particular attention to the Global South. The site publishes primarily in
> French; selected pages are available in English.

## Project: tanitmap-ai

- Visual companion to agridata MCP: a query portal where a user types a natural-language question and an agent renders the answer as a chart, map, table, or text — with source attribution to agridata.tn on every result.
- [Demo (live today)](https://tanitdata.org/tanitmap-ai/) — replays six pre-recorded answers from real backend runs against agridata.tn
- Live LLM-backed version: planned at https://tanitmap-ai.tanitdata.org (separate hosting, no committed timeline)
