GeoBit AI GuideBook & Commands (September, 2024 Release)

Welcome to GeoBit AI!

We are delighted that you joined us as part of our beta group and as an early adopter! We greatly appreciate your support and feedback. Your insights are invaluable as we continually update, add tools and improve our AI system. Here’s a simple guide to help you get started with GeoBit AI. We are actively looking for feedback so we can improve our system to better suit your needs. Please email back anything you like or want to see improved!

1. Getting Started

1. Sign Up: Sign up at www.geobit.ai

   1. We have an organization and individual user account sign up (release in mid September, 2024).

2. Desktop Optimization: Our system currently works best on desktop..

   1. GeoBit Mobile App integration coming soon (release in mid-late September, 2024).

   2. GeoBit Drone platform integration is coming soon (release in early October, 2024).

3. Multiple Locations: GeoBit can handle up to 100-150 points per prompt. Feel free to add up to 100 places at a time.

4. Interactive Points: Click on any point on the map to get Sentinel-2 imagery and image analyses of that area.

5. Double Click a Location: Double click a location to add a point.

6. Right-Click: Delete point you right click on.

7. Selection tool: Click the box then hold shift to mass highlight or mass delete points (in beta).

8. 3D Map Control: Hold control key down then click and hold the map with the mouse to move and shift perspective.

2. Uploading Data

• Image Uploads: You can upload images to the system. Image upload works only on desktop.

• File Types: Upload shapefiles (.shp), TIF (.tif), GPX (.gpx), images (.png, .jpg), OBJ (.obj), drone video (.mov/.mp4), GeoJSON, LiDAR (.las/.laz), CSV files (only latitude and longitude columns), KMZ/KML (.kmz/.kml) (only in OpenStreetMap basemap), GDB (.gdb) (coming soon).

  • If you upload a GPX or GeoJSON file that is under 2MB, you can ask questions about the file once uploaded like: 

    • “What is in this file?” 

    • “What is the average speed?” 

    • “What is the size of this GeoJSON?”.

    • “How many points in this file are there?”

    • “Explain this file to me.”

3. Map and AI Commands

Once your points are added to the map, you can use the following commands. Note that this is a beta version, so all commands must be spelled correctly and in lowercase. Try adding 50 points in the prompt and once the points are added, type out one of these commands:

Commands and Their Explanations

These are the natural language commands. We know that these can be hard to remember, so we are going to also have basic commands via buttons coming soon, too.

• run convex hull analysis

  • This creates the smallest convex polygon that can enclose all the points on the map. It's useful for identifying the boundary of a set of points.

• run hotspot analysis

  • This identifies areas with a high concentration of points, highlighting regions that are statistically significant hotspots.

• run centroid analysis

  • This calculates the geometric center (centroid) of a set of points, providing a central location that represents the average position of all points.

• run voronoi analysis

  • This divides the map into regions based on the distance to a specific set of points. Each region contains all the locations closer to a particular point than to any other point.

• calculate nearest neighbor

  • This calculates the distance from each point to its nearest neighboring point, useful for analyzing spatial relationships and clustering.

• run buffer analysis

  • This creates buffer zones around points at a specified distance. Buffers are useful for proximity analysis and identifying areas within a certain range of points.

• segment points

  • This divides the set of points into segments based on specified criteria, useful for categorizing and analyzing subsets of points that are clustered and groups of points.

• interpolate points

  • This estimates values at unknown points based on known values at nearby points, useful for creating continuous surfaces from discrete data points.

• run route

  • Finding the fastest route between 25 points or less

• draw box around london with width 50 km and height 50 km

  • Instead of london enter the location you're interested in

  • Instead of a width 50 km and height 50 km, put the size you’re interested in

• draw circle around london with radius 50 km

  • Instead of london enter the location you're interested in

  • Instead of a radius of 50km, put the radius size you're interested in

• draw polygon

  • Allows you to draw a polygon on the map by specifying 3-4 points.

• draw line

  • Draws a straight line between two specified points on the map.

• export csv

  • Exports the data points on the map to a CSV file for further analysis or record-keeping.

• generate shapefile

  • Exports the shapefile in point, line, or polygon format points for further analysis or record-keeping.

• run spatial autocorrelation

  •  Shows which points are more or less correlated with one another.

• run bubble analysis

  • Identify clusters of data points and represent them as bubbles of varying sizes and colors based on the cluster size.

• run tsearch analysis

  • Analyze the relationships between points using triangulation, identifying outliers and returning detailed geometric structures like simplices and convex hulls.

• run tin analysis

  • Use point triangulation to create a network of non-overlapping triangles between data points, useful for surface modeling.

• find outliers

  • Detect and isolate data points that significantly differ from others based on spatial analysis methods, helping identify anomalies in the dataset.

• run hexbin analysis

  • Group data points into hexagonal bins, displaying the density of points within each hexagon for visualization and spatial analysis.

• generate kmz

  • This is in testing still, coming soon.

• my location

  • Ask “my location” and it will zoom to your IP location.

    • Location must be enabled in your browser settings.
