Bunting Labs

Bunting Labs makes AI tools for GIS work, built into the open source desktop mapping application QGIS. The suite digitizes paper and PDF maps such as plan sets, as builts, geologic maps and subsurface utility maps, turning scanned linework into vector features, placing georeferencing control points and extracting metadata, so that mapping staff spend less time tracing by hand. The products target GIS professionals, engineering and construction teams, and public sector mapping departments. The AI Vectorizer traces features in geologic maps, engineering drawings and aerial imagery, detecting features by line style or polygon fill while the user keeps control of what gets digitized. Kue is an AI assistant that reads and edits a QGIS project, runs geoprocessing algorithms, filters and selects data without SQL, and styles layers with scale rules, labels and conditional rendering. The AI Georeferencer scans a map and proposes control points for review, and the Deed Digitizer converts legal descriptions and deeds into vector geometry by extracting metes and bounds. Pricing is published in US dollars. Personal costs $29 per month, is intended for evaluation and non commercial use, and includes the AI Vectorizer at 120 completions per day, Kue, 25 georeferences per month and the Deed Digitizer; usage data from this tier is used to improve the products. Professional costs $99 per month and adds zero data retention, no training on customer data, unlimited vectorizing and 100 georeferences per month. Both start with a one day trial that costs $1, and annual contracts and payment by check are available through the sales team. The company was a winner of the US Census Bureau StatVentures Challenge.
