How Scout AI plans a shoot

01

Ask

“Sunday day trip from Lisbon to Sintra, sunrise start, palaces and coast.”
Say where, when and what you want to shoot.
02

Get a plan

Real spots in drive order, each timed to the light, with a short reason it’s worth the stop.
03

Make it yours

Remove, reorder or add stops, or just ask for a change. Then review and save it as a trip.
Ask for

What you can ask

Find spots by the shot you want

“Moody portrait spots in Tokyo.” “Calm water for reflections near me.” You get spots from the LensScape map, each with why it fits.

Plan a photo trip

Day trips or up to five days. Stops in order, with arrival times and the light at each one.

Plan one shoot, properly

Pick a spot and any day up to a year out. See when the light is right, when to arrive, where the sun sits, parking and the walk in. Clouds and rain are added within 7 days.

Check the aurora

Ask if tonight’s worth the drive. See the chance for your spot, Kp and its dark window, with spots to shoot from.

Edit a saved trip

Open any trip and tap Edit with Scout AI. Ask for “a waterfall before lunch” and review the change before it saves.

Scout AI questions

What is LensScape Scout AI?
Scout AI is your location scout. Tell it the shot. It scouts the spots and builds the plan, with real LensScape spots, light times and a route you can save.
Is Scout AI free?
Every LensScape account gets 15 free messages to try it. LensScape Pro makes it unlimited. Errors and busy moments don’t use up messages.
Where does it get its spots?
From the LensScape spot map. When an area has few spots, it can ask us to look for more from OpenStreetMap, and we review them before they appear.
Can I change the trip it makes?
Yes. Remove, reorder or add stops on the card, or ask for a change in the chat. Review and confirm before it saves as a normal trip.
How far ahead can it plan?
Light and sun times work up to a year out. Weather is added when the day is within the next 7 days. The aurora check is for tonight only.
