Israel has a massive amount of open data: CBS statistics, price indices, population, housing, transportation, education, budgets, real estate transactions, pharmaceutical databases, and more. The problem? The data exists, but it's not truly accessible.

Data Israel is a network of AI agents that connects in real-time to 8 Israeli government and public data sources -- data.gov.il, CBS, state budgets, real estate transactions, pharmaceutical databases, health dashboards, supermarket prices, and parliamentary data. Anyone can ask questions in Hebrew and receive answers grounded in official data -- with context, tables, and charts. A routing agent orchestrates specialized sub-agents, each with its own tools and memory, to search, cross-reference, and summarize data autonomously.

No manual searching, no CSVs, and no need to know what a DataStore API is.

Why Use It

This is not "just another AI chat". The agent:

• Connects live to 8 Israeli data APIs -- every answer comes from real API calls, not hallucination
• Multi-agent network with specialized sub-agents that autonomously search, cross-reference, and summarize data
• Transparent reasoning - see exactly which tools each agent calls, with live progress and colored status chips
• Context window tracking - a usage bar per thread shows how much context has been consumed
• Preserves conversation history so you can compare, revisit, and go deeper
• Supports Google sign-in for a continuous personal experience
• Speaks Hebrew natively with full RTL interface

Who Is It For

• Curious citizens who want to understand what the data says
• Journalists investigating public data
• Entrepreneurs exploring market opportunities
• Researchers working with Israeli datasets
• Anyone who prefers facts over gut feelings

Example Questions

How has the cost of living in my city changed over time?

Where is there a gap between population growth and infrastructure?

How do housing prices compare to salaries across different regions?

57 data tools + 4 client tools (charts, follow-up suggestions) = 61 total tools

Tool-First Architecture

The core principle: if there's no real data, there's no answer.

The routing agent delegates to specialized sub-agents, each with their own Zod-validated tools. Every response is grounded in verifiable data from official Israeli government APIs.

displayBarChart	Render bar charts from data
displayLineChart	Render line charts from data
displayPieChart	Render pie charts from data
suggestFollowUps	Suggest follow-up questions

Agent Network

The system uses a multi-agent network where the routing agent delegates to specialized sub-agents. Each sub-agent runs autonomously with its own tools and memory thread, while the routing agent orchestrates the overall flow.

Agent	Role
Routing Agent	Orchestrator -- delegates to sub-agents, manages memory, creates charts
DataGov Agent	Israeli open data via CKAN API (data.gov.il)
CBS Agent	Central Bureau of Statistics (series, prices, localities)
Budget Agent	State budget data via BudgetKey MCP (1997-2025)
GovMap Agent	Geospatial data via GovMap (real estate, services, parcels, tourism, demographics)
Drugs Agent	Pharmaceutical database (Ministry of Health)
Health Agent	Public health dashboards (Ministry of Health)
Grocery Agent	Supermarket price transparency (XML feeds)

Sub-agents store their tool call results in separate Convex memory threads, linked back to the routing agent via subAgentThreadId. On page reload, the API reconstructs sub-agent tool call data through a two-pass recall strategy, so the full chain-of-thought UI is preserved.
