GeoIntel

What it does

Feeds an image to Gemini and reasons about buildings, signage, vegetation and terrain to estimate where it was shot, showing its reasoning on a map — no embedded GPS data needed. That capability cuts both ways, and the line is not blurry: using someone else's photo to find where they live or spend time is stalking, and the output is a guess that people confront each other over as though it were fact. The defensible use is your own photos, checked to see how much they give away. Images go to Google. MIT.

GeoIntel FAQ

Is GeoIntel free?

GeoIntel itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use GeoIntel?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does GeoIntel work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use GeoIntel commercially?

The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
