Scout - Geospatial ingestion platform with AI spatial query engine

by•
Scout is a geospatial ingestion platform that turns any spatial data source into a Portolan-conformant catalog — with live XYZ tiles, PMTiles, and STAC items — in seconds. Point Scout at a URL (GeoJSON, Shapefile, GeoParquet, Overture, Source Cooperative) and it handles the full pipeline. Then ask spatial questions in plain English — Scout generates AI maps and data answers instantly. No code. No server. No GIS expertise needed.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Sarah. I built Scout to solve a problem every geospatial team hits — getting raw spatial data into a structured, queryable, publishable catalog is slow and painful. Scout is a geospatial ingestion platform that publishes Portolan-conformant catalogs automatically. Drop in any spatial data URL — Shapefile, GeoParquet, OvertureMaps, Source Cooperative — and Scout delivers: → Live XYZ tile endpoint → PMTiles file → STAC catalog item → Portolan-conformant metadata Then ask spatial questions in plain English. Scout generates AI maps and data answers directly — no SQL, no code. Free plan includes 10 datasets and 5 AI queries/month. No credit card needed. If you work with geodata or build location-aware apps, I'd love your feedback. Ask me anything!
