What is Mapwith.ai?

Mapwith.ai is a web-based mapping tool that lets you create, edit and refine detailed maps using OpenStreetMap data. It combines RapiD, a map editing interface, with AI-assisted features to speed up mapping work. The tool is designed for people who want to contribute to OpenStreetMap, improve geographic data coverage, or create custom maps based on accurate road and building information. It's free to use and works directly in your browser, making it accessible to volunteers, researchers and organisations working on map data without requiring expensive software.
