AI-Powered Video-to-Map Discovery Platform
Turn video content into an interactive, searchable map — using AI to extract locations, ratings, and metadata automatically from social media videos.
The Problem
Content creators produce enormous volumes of video reviews across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. The content is engaging and popular — but it's locked inside video format, making it almost impossible to search or use practically.
If someone watches a creator review a brilliant restaurant three months ago, finding that specific video again is a nightmare. There's no structured data — no searchable list, no map of locations, no way to filter by category or rating.
The manual alternative — having someone watch every video, note details, look up addresses, and plot them on a map — is absurdly time-consuming. For a creator with hundreds of reviews, this would take weeks of tedious data entry.
There's also a commercial angle that goes unrealised. Businesses featured in these videos would pay to access structured, location-based review data. But without a platform to organise and present it, the commercial potential sits untapped.
The Solution
The solution is an AI pipeline that processes video content, extracts structured data automatically, and plots every reviewed location on an interactive, searchable map.
The pipeline uses speech-to-text AI, natural language processing, and geolocation. First, the audio is transcribed. Then the AI identifies names, locations, categories, specific items mentioned, and the reviewer's overall sentiment. Finally, the extracted details are geocoded and plotted on a map.
The processing is largely automatic. When a new video is published, the system picks it up, runs it through the pipeline, and adds the structured data to the platform. The creator reviews the output for accuracy and hits publish.
The front end is a polished, mobile-first web application with an interactive map at its core. Users can explore by location, filter by category, search for specific venues, and tap any pin to see the original video alongside structured details.
The Outcome
The platform generated over one million views in its first week. The combination of well-known creator content with a genuinely useful, searchable format resonated strongly with the audience.
Engagement patterns shifted dramatically. Instead of watching a video and forgetting about it, users returned to the map repeatedly — when planning outings, visiting new areas, or looking for specific categories. This recurring usage created a far more valuable audience relationship.
The structured data also opened new commercial opportunities. Businesses featured on the platform saw measurable increases in footfall, creating a natural basis for partnerships.
