I still don't see the usefulness of these applications if we still cannot fundamentally trust the data reliability. You describe agents as making intelligent decisions for workflows, when the opposite is true: AI has no internal processes to verify logic or output, and that lack of ability makes every single action of these agents suspect. A geodatabase with a bunch of bad or flawed data is worse than useless, it misinforms and distorts our reality.
Part of the workflow will be data validation and cleanup. It will detect patterns or anomalies in data that can be flagged and fixed. Data won’t be in geodatabases. Specialized systems just for storing geospatial data will not be need. Data from many source will flow to where they are needed. This does not exist yet, but this is where systems are heading.
Okay, I can see the advantage of distributing data, but that’s beside the point, trusting these agentic system to flag anomalies is just not good enough. I understand the industry will do what it does, but this obsession with using agents is going to gut the technical underpinnings of the industry.

Yes it will.
