From late last year to early this year, DeepSeek has undoubtedly dominated the tech landscape. My social feeds—public accounts and short videos—have featured daily updates about DeepSeek, from model comparisons to website glitches and workarounds for full-featured access. Concurrently, industries and institutions have launched an "arms race," with corporate announcements flooding newsfeeds about xxx adopting DeepSeek. Sectors like internet services, finance, construction, and even government agencies are rushing to deploy DeepSeek solutions, as if falling behind would mean obsolescence. The GIS industry is no exception—software vendors and GIS practitioners alike have publicly announced their DeepSeek integrations.
This prompts a question for GIS professionals like myself: After integrating DeepSeek, what comes next? Where are the practical applications for DeepSeek + GIS?
