Team A.R.G.U.S

ARGUS — Ask the Earth anything. An autonomous analyst that watches the planet from orbit. Today, understanding a remote region means babysitting fifty data portals or trusting headlines that distort geophysical reality. Ground-truthing is expensive, alerts are noisy, and most "AI + satellite" demos are static dashboards. ARGUS replaces dashboard-watching with an agent you trust. You define a watchlist—regions plus plain-English questions like "Is vegetation declining abnormally?"—and ARGUS runs unprompted on a schedule it manages: plan → acquire → analyze → verify → alert. It plans its own satellite acquisitions, pulls climate feeds, detects change, cross-checks independent sources, and files graded one-page briefs with hectares, counts, confidence %, before/after maps, and full receipts. Every tool call is logged with source URL, parameters, data hash, and rendered evidence. Ambiguity surfaces as an ambiguity card, never a hedged alert. Nothing leaves without human approval. Questions outside its capability get an honest missing-data statement—never fabricated. Two eyes prove the spine generalizes: El Vigía, an ENSO watchman that computes its own Niño3.4 index from NOAA OISST and validates against official records, and Fireline, which watches African fire regimes against 20-year MODIS baselines.
