Help Nearby
Free help map, now with an AI assistant and Red Cross data
New: AI assistant (GPT-6 Luna) that finds help across all sources, 60 French Red Cross points, a Recently Added page, place search ("Nice, France"), honest Unverified labels. Free, open source, 7 languages, built by a 16-year-old.
Hi Product Hunt, I'm Pavel, a 16-year-old solo maker. A few months ago I launched Help Nearby: a free, open-source map of food, shelter and medical help. This update is what I learned from the first launch.
What's new:
- AI assistant (GPT-6 Luna) that only answers help-finding questions. It searches our directory, OpenStreetMap and UN OCHA data, and names the source of every result.
- 60 new French Red Cross points with links to the source pages.
- "Recently added" page, so you can see what changed.
- Place search: type "Nice, France" and the map moves there.
- Honest labels: results from OpenStreetMap are marked Unverified. If opening hours are unknown, we say so instead of guessing.
- Mobile fixes, new icons and a cleaner language switcher.
Limits, honestly: coverage is uneven. Some countries have many entries, others almost none, and I can't verify every OpenStreetMap point.
What I'd love to know: which country or city should I add next? And if you find a wrong or missing place, tell me here.
