Mappit — every place has a story
The world's zeitgeist on a map. Mappit turns the
world's news into a living, interactive map. An always-on
artificial-intelligence engine continuously scans what is happening
in hundreds of cities — using six independent, grounded sources in
parallel — and pins each story to the place it is about, on an
interactive, time-aware map of the planet. Zoom into any city and
you see what's happening there right now — grouped by topic,
colored by mood, corroborated across multiple independent AI
systems, and with every source link checked so the stories you read
actually lead somewhere real. Scrub the calendar backwards and the
map replays how the world looked on any past day, because the
underlying record is permanent and never overwritten.
On top of that news layer, Mappit adds live views of the physical
planet — earthquakes, wildfires, air quality, and weather — and a
market layer that plots stock movements at companies' real
headquarters. A built-in AI guide named Marco answers questions
about any place and cites its sources. Anyone can browse for free;
a subscription unlocks the ability to create and share your own
places, collections, and data layers.
The core idea is simple and durable: place + time is the most
natural way to organize what is happening in the world, and the
value compounds every day as the record grows. The map is the
interface; the permanent, corroborated, geolocated corpus of world
events beneath it is the substance.
Mappit requires JavaScript for the interactive map. Every public
place, pin, collection and profile also has a crawlable page — see
the sitemap.
