Spent months fighting CSVs to make a map, so I built an AI that does it for me

Hey,
I'm building Mappt — an AI-powered map builder for people who want to visualize data on a map without wrestling with GIS tools.
The problem that started it: Every time I wanted to put data on a map I'd spend 80% of my time cleaning the CSV, geocoding addresses, picking projections, and fighting with QGIS or Mapbox — and 20% actually making the map.
So I flipped it. With Mappt you:
- paste a URL, drop a CSV / GeoJSON / Excel file, or just describe what you want in plain English
- the agent cleans, geocodes, and styles the data for you
- you get an interactive map (choropleth, heatmap, points) you can share or embed
Stack: Next.js frontend, Go backend, a Python agent that does the heavy lifting (planning, tool use, spatial analysis against OSM data).
Still early — free tier is live and I'm actively iterating based on feedback. Would genuinely love to hear:
- What kind of maps would you want to make?
- What's the most painful part of your current workflow?
- Anything you'd need before you'd actually use this?
