We built xMap – An AI-powered map that tells you where to expand, build, or invest

Hey IH Community,

We just launched xMap, and we’d love to hear your feedback.

What is xMap?

xMap is an AI-powered mapping app that helps business teams answer one big question:

“Where should we grow next?”

Instead of hiring consultants or crunching data for weeks, xMap gives you instant visual answers based on competitors, demographics, and market gaps.

You can literally ask the map:

“Where should I open a gym in Austin with high Gen Z and low competition?”

“Which zip codes in Florida have high-income families and no Starbucks?”

“Where are EV charging gaps near Dallas suburbs?”

And xMap will answer visually and instantly.

Who It's For:

• Franchise growth teams
• Retail site planners
• EV infrastructure developers
• Real estate consultants
• Analysts and researchers

What You Can Do:

1. Search 1000s of brands and POIs
2. Compare competitors across regions
3. Apply live demographic filters (income, age, ethnicity, education)
4. Use AI Chat to ask the map anything
5. Count POI density inside custom shapes
6. Export maps for reports, decks, and investor pitches

🌍 Why We Built It:
Every business expanding to a new location is making a high-stakes decision — usually with outdated tools or generic market reports.

We wanted to fix that with:

• Real-time data
• Natural language queries
• Beautiful, zoomable maps
• Instant visual answers

🛠️ Tech Stack:

• Frontend: React + Mapbox
• Backend: Supabase + Python
• AI Layer: OpenAI + semantic search
• Deployment: Vercel + Cloudflare
  (Ask us anything technical - happy to dive in!)
