EVE, the Earth Virtual Expert, is now open for public use. Anyone can create a free account, ask complex Earth-related questions and get clear answers grounded in scientific sources.
Pi School developed EVE under ESA’s FutureEO programme, with guidance from ESA Φ-lab and in collaboration with Imperative Space, Mistral and Wiley. EVE is designed for researchers, students, educators, journalists, policymakers and anyone with an interest in Earth observation.
EVE’s answers draw on Earth observation data and peer-reviewed science. This includes around 300,000 open-access articles and more than a million closed-access articles through the Wiley Gateway, and every answer can be traced to validated sources. EVE is fully open source, with its model weights, code and data openly available, and developers can use it through a public API.
More releases are planned over the coming months. The next phase will add agentic capabilities, so EVE can plan multi-step analyses, retrieve and process Earth observation data, and run tools for you.
