What is an AI map generator?

An AI map generator is a tool that turns unstructured location information (text, lists, spreadsheets, images, or natural language prompts) into a structured, interactive map. Instead of manually copying addresses into Google Maps or wrestling with a spreadsheet of latitude and longitude coordinates, you give the AI your raw content and it identifies the places, geocodes them, and plots them as pins on a shareable map.

Proxi's AI map generator works with five inputs: text, images, prompts, URLs, and spreadsheets. Each one takes seconds, not hours. You can then customize the map, embed it on any website, or share it as a link.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best AI map generator for interactive maps?
Proxi is the all-in-one AI map maker for interactive, embeddable maps. Unlike fantasy or art map generators, Proxi creates real-world geocoded maps from spreadsheets, text, images, URLs, and prompts. It is built for businesses, content creators, and community organizations that need to share location data, not generate decorative artwork.
How do I turn a spreadsheet into a map?
Paste your CSV, Excel file, or Google Sheets data directly into Proxi. The AI detects address columns, geocodes every row, and builds an interactive map automatically. No need to split address fields or manually look up latitude and longitude.
How do I turn a list of addresses into a map?
Paste the list into Proxi's Text to Map or Spreadsheet to Map tool. Proxi recognizes each address, geocodes it, and plots it on a shareable map in seconds. Works with full street addresses, place names, or even messy partial addresses.
Can AI turn a blog post into a map?
Yes. Proxi's Text to Map tool reads any block of text, identifies the places mentioned, and builds an interactive map. Paste a blog post, news article, Instagram caption, or recommendation list. Or use the Proxi Chrome extension to map a webpage with one click.
Can I turn a PDF or image of a map into an interactive map?
Yes. Proxi's Image to Map tool reads PDFs and image files (JPG, PNG, scanned brochures, photos of paper maps), identifies every place, and rebuilds it as an interactive map you can embed on your website.
Is Proxi free?
Every Proxi account includes 3 AI calls per month free. Proxi Pro users get 10 AI calls per month. Need more? Any user can add 100 extra AI calls per month for $10.
Can I use multiple AI tools on the same map?
Yes. Layer text-to-map, prompt-to-map, and spreadsheet-to-map calls on a single map to build comprehensive datasets. This is where Proxi shines compared to single-input tools.
Can I embed my AI-generated map on my website?
Yes. Every Proxi map comes with an embed code that works on Webflow, WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Notion, and any site that supports embeds.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Proxi is a no-code AI map maker. If you can paste text or upload a file, you can build a map.
How accurate is the geocoding?
Proxi uses Google's geocoding service under the hood, the same engine that powers Google Maps. You can manually drag any pin to correct it if a result is off.
What types of files can I upload?
Spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xls, .csv), images (.jpg, .png), and PDFs. You can also paste text directly or use the Chrome extension to scan webpages.
How is Proxi different from BatchGeo, Textomap, or Google My Maps?
BatchGeo focuses on spreadsheet-to-map only. Textomap focuses on text-to-map. Google My Maps requires manual address entry and limited customization. Proxi is the only AI mapping platform that combines all five inputs (text, image, prompt, URL, spreadsheet) with full branding, advanced features like scavenger hunts and passport challenges, and embeddable interactive maps designed for organizations.
Where do I find the AI tools inside Proxi?
