Botagoz AI
An AI-native geo-information system — the intelligent alternative to 2GIS, built from scratch.
The challenge
Maps in Kazakhstan are search boxes bolted onto databases. Asking a natural question — "quiet cafe near me open past midnight with parking" — falls apart. The challenge was to make a map that reasons, not just retrieves, while staying fast and honest about what it knows.
The process
Orchestrating cartography
I wired the 2GIS cartography keys and custom geo pipelines into a single normalized layer, so places, hours, routes and reviews arrive as one coherent typed stream.
Antigravity data buses
The Antigravity concept powers reactive data buses on Node.js: updates propagate without polling, keeping the map alive and the latency budget intact.
Gemini as the native brain
The Gemini API is not an add-on — it sits at the core as the reasoning engine, turning fuzzy human intent into precise geo-queries and grounded, honest answers.
Results & metrics
Botagoz answers natural questions in under 180ms median, grounds every answer in real cartography data, and reports its own confidence. No hallucinated addresses, no invented hours — honesty engine active.
