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 offering in my opinion.

The good thing here is that it could keep data provenance because it's SQL over known datasets.

I work with maps everyday. I'm cheap and my employer is cheap with me, but we've got to produce a lot of maps for compliance & business intelligence. The work is is mostly cleaning & standardization, with some user experience toward a particular audit purpose.

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.

This can be very useful for urban planning. you could have an agent investigate the optimal spot for a new datacenter, examine solar power installations, and so on.

I wonder if this would be useful in OSINT stuff.

Exactly, this platform has fallen down so incredibly low. Every other post is worthless garbage about LLMs, without a single ounce of actual science being showcased, created, or even talked about. But a whole post about a markdown file is a new low imo. How does anyone who's actually competent at all in their domain think that this is worth sharing?

Skills provide guidance; they augment and narrow the search space. Even intelligent humans benefit from guidance.
