Question from an outsider: Who is paying for tools like this? The examples shown on the website (e.g. all streets in Nevada) look nice, but what are those analyses actually used for? I am pretty sure it is not only about having pretty maps but their has to be a business value I don’t see right now.
I wonder if this would be useful in OSINT stuff.

#12If I see another skill or markdown on hackernews I might just consider leaving the platform. What even is the point of sharing markdowns... Either LLMs will be so good in a few months this will be redundant. Or it won't be and LLMs are a dead end and there are better ways to build with LLMs

There are some much more lucrative niches, that have to do with chain-of-title, rights of way, resource rights, and so on, and I can imagine why anyone would pay to save, say, 20 hours a week.
Power interconnects for datacenter siting would be a hot example.

20 year GIS dev here. Looks pretty useful for data exploration. I'd say one of the more compelling GeoAI things I've seen. The problem is there's really a lot of data out there and it's a lot of work to move it around, e.g. between S3 buckets. There's also a ton of GIS SAAS vendors who are pure rent-seekers: I'm looking at a newer offering charging $23 per month for 10GB storage. This has more utility than their offe…

Unrelated, but also take a look at the nice high-density LiDAR point data we have! https://visionneuse-lidarhd.ign.fr/?px=4441970.281583222&py=...
