POINT.CAPTURE.DECIDE.

Turn a photograph of any location into a structured business decision—what is there, what it means, who is competing nearby, and what to do next.

SCROLL TO READ

01 A camera that thinks

LOCBOT / RETAIL / MVP

FROM “I’M LOOKING AT A PLACE” TO “HERE’S WHAT I SHOULD DECIDE.”

Location assessment in Kenya still depends on sending someone out to walk, observe, take notes, and write a report. LocBot turns the camera already in every agent’s hand into a consistent intelligence layer.

The vision read reports what is physically present. Interpreting what it means for the decision is a separate, deliberate step.

02 How LocBot reads a place

VISION → CONTEXT → DECISION

CHEAP EYES.
EXPENSIVE THINKING.
USED WHERE IT COUNTS.

A deliberate division of labour keeps every capture fast and economical. The local model observes. Geographic data supplies context. Claude reasons.

LOCAL VISION

A fast on-server pass profiles each image on ordinary hardware — and is pluggable to a local object detector — so the expensive reasoning only runs on what matters.

CLAUDE REASONING

The detections, original image, and geographic evidence become a viability score, competitor read, operational forecast, and clear recommendation.

Proceed to a seven-day footfall validation. Position the entrance toward the main pedestrian approach and avoid direct price competition with established mini-markets.
