Ask AI about your shortlist

Chat operates on your pinned locations, not a generic knowledge base. "Which of my 5 places has the best winter?" — it knows your specific data and reasons across all of them in one response.

Why it's different

Not raw satellite data

Calibrated against ground truth

Raw reanalysis data overestimates sunshine in cloudy regions. GeoRank merges SARAH-3 satellite observations with ERA5, bias-corrected against 182 ground stations with orographic terrain corrections — from Reykjavik to Phoenix to Sydney.

Compare against where you live now

Set your home location as a baseline. Every pinned place in Compare mode shows a delta — how many more sunshine hours, how much cheaper, how much safer than home. Not just absolute numbers: relative to your current reality.

Community signal, not just official data

Nomad Pulse tracks weekly sentiment from the digital nomad community — social posts processed into rising, stable, or falling signals per country and city. See where enthusiasm is building before everyone else does.

Chat your shortlist

Your shortlist, answered.

Once you've pinned your locations, chat answers what the table can't. It knows every metric for every pinned place and reasons across all of them in one response.

"Which of my pinned places is best for a winter base?" "Score my shortlist: sunshine, cost, and low tax combined" "What are the tradeoffs between Paphos and Tbilisi for a family?"

Ask the data

I'm between Tbilisi and Paphos. I'm a freelancer on a UK passport, want low tax and at least 2,800 sunshine hours. Which works better?

Paphos meets your sunshine threshold. Tbilisi doesn't — but it's considerably cheaper.

	Tbilisi	Paphos
Sunshine	1,987 hrs/yr	3,140 hrs/yr
Income tax	0% (foreign-sourced)	0% (non-dom)
Cost/mo	~$900	~$1,600
UK passport	360 days visa-free	90/180 days

Tbilisi's 1,987 hours falls short of your 2,800 threshold — that rules it out on your stated criteria. Paphos clears it comfortably and the non-dom tax regime is well-established for freelancers. The trade-off is cost: you're paying roughly $700/mo more for the sun and the EU infrastructure.
