Getting Started with GameSearch-AI: A Comprehensive Guide

GameSearch-AI is a digital scouting tool that provides intelligent, AI-driven advice for exploring land you're interested in hunting. This guide will walk you through our updated process for generating high-quality hunting leads.

What is GameSearch-AI?

Firstly, GameSearch-AI is a web-based platform accessible at https://gamesearch-ai.com. There is no app to download; simply log in via your Google account to get started. Our tool uses artificial intelligence (powered by Large Language Models) to act as a digital hunting expert, analyzing terrain, satellite imagery, and your own uploaded data.

The 3-Step Analysis Flow

We have streamlined the process into three clear steps to ensure the AI has the most accurate context for your hunt.

Step 1: Species, Location, and Knowledge

Start by selecting your target species and your hunting location. You can search by address or enter exact coordinates.

Background Knowledge
Background Knowledge (Optional):

This is where you can give the AI "boots on the ground" data:

  • Upload Waypoints (.gpx): Import your markers from OnX, HuntStand, or Garmin.
  • Upload Images (.jpg, .png): Share scouting photos or screenshots of sign. Note: Descriptions are required for images!
Step 2: Hunt Parameters

Fine-tune the "why" and "when" of your hunt. This step significantly improves prediction accuracy.

  • Harvest Strategy: Choose your focus (basically equates to Any Legal Animal vs. Trophy Focus).
  • Month & Time: Specify when you'll be in the field, as animal patterns shift throughout the season and day.
  • Accessible Locations: Check this to prioritize spots near roads or trails.
  • Field Observations: Add custom details like "Recent heavy rain" or "High hunting pressure."
Step 3: Define Your Hunt Area

Once you head to the map, you can refine exactly which piece of land the AI should look at.

  • Draw Hunt Area: Use this tool to draw a custom red polygon around your specific property or public land block.
  • Map Toggles: Switch between Satellite, Terrain, Street, and Elevation views to get a better sense of the land yourself.
Running the Analysis

When you're ready, hit the ANALYZE button.

Reviewing and Exporting Results

After the AI finishes, your suggested locations will appear on the map.

  • Click Points: Every generated spot has a detailed description. Read these carefully! The AI explains why it chose that spot.
  • Export to OnX: Download a ".gpx" file of your results to import directly into your favorite hunting app.
  • Multiple Generations: If you requested multiple generations, toggle between them using the buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Beta Mode & Feedback

GameSearch-AI is currently in beta. As a solo developer and passionate hunter, I'm constantly refining the models. If you have ideas or find a bug, please contact me directly via email or social media.
