What this skill does

Geolocate or chronolocate a photo with tool-verified reasoning (where was this taken / when was it taken / photo geolocation / geo-guessing).

When it triggers

  • Use when the user shares a photo and asks where was this taken / geolocate this / when was this taken / 这是哪 / 在哪拍的 / 帮我定位这张照片 / 网络迷踪 / 图寻 / 几点拍的.
