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?

Built a small AI mapping tool

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a small side project called mappt.ai and I’d love to get some feedback from people who actually use GIS tools.

The idea is pretty simple: make it faster/easier to work with maps and spatial data using AI — especially for quick exploration, prototyping, or when you don’t want to fire up a full GIS stack right away.

Some things it can do right now:

  • generate maps from plain language prompts
  • help with spatial queries / transformations
  • quick visualization without a lot of setup

It’s still early, so I’m mainly trying to understand:

  • what’s actually useful
  • where it breaks in real workflows
  • what features GIS folks would actually want

If anyone’s up for trying it and giving honest feedback (good or bad), I’d really appreciate it: https://mappt.ai

Happy to answer questions or hear suggestions 🙏
