Short answer

How do I fix messy address data with AI?

Your AI uses Radar to check if an address is real and then converts it into clean, structured coordinates or formatted strings. You'll get precise geographic data ready for your database or maps.

Data outcomes

Where your data lands.

The AI sorts every address through different stages of verification.

VALIDATED

Clean, verified addresses

The AI confirms the address exists. You get a single, standardized string that matches postal standards.

GEOCODED

Precise map coordinates

The AI attaches latitude and longitude to your data. This makes your locations ready for mapping tools.

REJECTED

Invalid or fake entries

The AI flags addresses that don't exist. You get a list of entries that need manual checking.

MANUAL

Needs human review

Ambiguous or partial addresses are pulled aside. You decide how to handle these edge cases.

The workflow

What your AI does when an address arrives.

The AI acts as a filter between your messy input and your clean database.

  1. Check existence

    The AI looks at your raw text to see if it points to a real place.

    validate_address

  2. Standardize format

    It fixes typos and applies correct casing and abbreviations.

    validate_address

  3. Find coordinates

    The AI turns the cleaned address into exact map points.

    forward_geocode

  4. Flag errors

    If the address is too broken to fix, the AI marks it for you.

    validate_address
