Introducing ScribbleSight: AI-Powered Location Intelligence in Seconds

By


Scribble Maps is excited to announce the launch of ScribbleSight, a powerful new tool that lets you evaluate and compare locations using natural language and real-world data.

Whether you're looking for the perfect neighbourhood, identifying retail expansion opportunities, or analyzing markets across a city grid, ScribbleSight delivers the insight you need, faster than ever.

How It Works

ScribbleSight combines AI with dynamic mapping to turn your search into location intelligence.

You tell it what you're looking for, and it builds a data-driven scorecard and heat map showing the best-matching areas.

Try queries like:

  • “Affordable neighbourhoods with great schools and dog parks.”
  • “Areas near four-star coffee shops and coworking spaces.”
  • “Quiet suburbs within a 10-minute bike ride to a train station.”

ScribbleSight processes your request, evaluates every grid square, and visualizes the results in seconds.

What’s Under the Hood?

  • Dynamic Grid Analysis – Drop a smart grid anywhere in the world and compare each zone.
  • Natural Language Input – No forms or filters. Just describe what you want.
  • Weighted Scoring – Tweak priorities with sliders, filters, and advanced settings.
  • Travel Modes – Walk, bike, or drive. You set the distance.
  • Per Capita Scoring – Normalize results for better insight in dense or rural areas.
  • Interactive Reports – Save and share custom heat maps with clients or teams.
We’ve built ScribbleSight on top of Google Maps Platform, which lets us use advanced data sources like reviews, pricing, and environmental factors. This foundation also opens the door for deeper insights in the future.

For a behind-the-scenes look at how ScribbleSight was built using the Google Maps Platform, see this Q&A with our CEO on the Google Maps Blog.

Why We Built It

Scribble Maps users told us they were spending hours, sometimes days, gathering and comparing location data for planning decisions. We built ScribbleSight to change that.

Now, the insight you need is just a sentence and a few clicks away.

Whether you’re a real estate analyst, retailer, consultant, or just planning your next move, ScribbleSight helps you move from map to decision.

As Google’s blog highlights, ScribbleSight is designed to grow with upcoming features such as foot traffic analysis and richer AI integrations.
