Spatial.ai started with an insight: billions of people are sharing their mindsets, interests, and attitudes on social media. If that unstructured data could be harnessed at scale, we'd no longer need to rely solely on demographics or surveys. And our understanding of customers could happen in real-time.
In 2016, we set out to solve this problem, and today hundreds of companies leverage Geosocial to make real-time predictive decisions.
Geosocial data is location-based social data. Using advanced AI algorithms we categorize billions of unstructured data points into quantifiable people and places segments that reveal trends and predict behavior.
