Anyone seriously considering an international move — remote workers, families, retirees, founders. You know you want to leave; you just haven't found where you'd actually feel at home.

How is this different from just asking ChatGPT?

ChatGPT gives you an opinion. We give you a score from open data: climate normals, OECD tax tables, WHO healthcare index, Ookla internet speeds. Every number has a source. The quiz learns your trade-offs and ranks accordingly — no generic 'Portugal is great' advice.

How do you score countries?

Ten dimensions (climate, cost, tax, visa, healthcare, safety, language, internet, family, banking), each scored 0–10 from open data. We combine them geometrically, meaning one bad dimension really matters — it can't be averaged away. Hard deal-breakers exclude a country entirely.

Will more countries get a detailed map like Italy?

Yes. Italy is our proof of concept — 8,000 places, comune-level climate, prices, internet, demographics. Portugal, Spain, and UAE are next. Subscribe in the atlas to be notified per country.

Climate normals are 1991–2020 (the WMO 30-year standard — the most meaningful baseline). Tax, visa, and language data refreshes annually. Every number shows its source and year inline — nothing is hidden.

Reference

AI helper — a small assistant tied to your shortlist

A small bubble sits in the corner of the map. Click it and an assistant opens that already knows what you have been doing: your shortlist, the active country, the last location you opened. It answers questions in plain language, not menu-clicks.

Where to find it

Bottom-right corner of the map: a small chat bubble. On a details-panel page the same assistant sits at the bottom of the panel — same conversation, different mounting point. Type a question and hit enter.

How it works

The helper is grounded in your current map state. It gets a compact slice of data for up to 5 of the most relevant countries on your shortlist: visa programs, tax regimes, property-tax notes, car-ownership costs, passport restrictions. The total payload stays under about 8 kilobytes — that is what keeps responses fast.

Good questions

"Compare the tax burden in my two shortlisted countries for a self-employed person."
"What visa would let me bring a partner and a child here?"
"Which of these places has the cheapest car ownership in the first year?"
"Summarize the trade-offs between A and B."

Where it stops on purpose

No legal advice. No unsourced numbers. No predictions of the future. Ask "will visa X be available in 2027" and you get a refusal in plain language, not a guess. Ask "is X better than Y" and you get a structured breakdown of the trade-offs, not a single recommendation.

What to keep in mind

The model sees only what we hand it: your shortlist, the active country, and our ingested datasets. It does not see your account email, the contents of your pin notes, or anything you typed into the search bar earlier in the session.

Frequently asked

Which AI model is the helper using?

A current-generation Claude model from Anthropic. We upgrade it as better versions ship; we deliberately do not pin a specific version in the docs because that line would go stale almost immediately.

Does the helper see my notes?

No. Pin notes, shortlist notes, and annotations stay in your account and never leave it. The model sees structured fields — visa, tax, property — for the countries on your shortlist. That is the whole context.

Why did it refuse to answer?

Most refusals come from a question that sits outside the helper's grounding: a country not in your shortlist, or one we do not support yet. The next-most-common reason is a legal-advice question, which it is explicitly instructed to forward to a human professional.

Can I disable the bubble?

For now, collapsing is the most you can do. A "hide for the session" setting is coming in a future release; feedback through the form pushes it up the queue.
