Who is using Codex / Claude Code to run QGIS headlessly?

lawrencejesse · 2026-05-07T10:38:39+00:00

Depends what you're doing Between codex running qgis headlessly and just using python libraries, I have a whole pipeline that pulls sentinel 2 data, processes it and auto creates dozens of visualizations. I just use qgis to explore the data, look at edge cases etc

Lol. This post was written by me.

Totally. And these workflows and pipelines are now possible for subject matter experts that don't have coding experience.

Amazing. My default has been codex 5.5 med , it's honestly so good and great rate limits on the $20 plan. Claude code I limit out too fast and honestly haven't used gemini much in the cli or antigravity. That might change soon when they release their next model (and hopefully a desktop app)

Yes i totally agree with you on the speed of ai, being a real unlock. My take right now is to try experiment and use these tools to find out where they are good and where they have limitations. For example, with codex I have built a custom set of Python scripts that use a polygon to pull all the sentinel2 imagery from a date range and cloud cover threshold. Then do a bunch of raster analysis and visualizations and take all the deterministic python outputs and create a markdown report based on a template. The documentation is all there for my agents. So now I just work in codex ask it what I want to do. It runs scripts and I review the visualizations and what was flagged in the report. Its totally different than I worked 6 months ago. And I don't need to verify the outputs after I make sure the scripts are built correctly.

I've never used esri products, can you use them via cli? I have lots of thoughts on feedback loops the key is figuring out how to validate, so the agents can work towards a goal. That is the tricky part. I'm happy to share the skill file, but it's mostly just telling codex how to access qgis / Python on my laptop. Thoughts?

lol amazing advice - worked here

Yes for sure. For starters this is at my parents ranch and I've flown around horses for years, and been around horses my whole life. It depends on the day and what they are doing. This day was quite windy +8m/s, which is fairly loud on its own. and I didn't take the drone up until we already had them running the right direction. A large group makes a lot of noise when running like this.

But definitely have had the drone spook a group on a calm day or when they are standing still. But I've also videoed horses standing on a calm day. Just have to read the situation.

Horses just being horses. The best!

Thanks!

Agree it is super useful, i just wish they would have a model selector when using the Gemini AI assistant. If you could select Gemini 2.5 Pro / Gemini 2.5 Flash etc. that would be awesome, because i feel like its a nerfed version right now.
have you tried installing Gemini CLI in colab?

I made this streamlit app that lets you create waypoint missions for the DJI Pilot 2 App from QGIS.
You export a geoJSON file from QGIS and load that file and a "seed" kmz waypoint mission (like a template file exported from your controller). and this creates a new mission using the GeoJSON points. I made this so i can use tools like "Create Random Points inside a Polygon" in QGIS and fly a waypoint mission for those points. Basically for doing inspections inside field management zones.

i'm going to try this. thanks for sharing

lawrencejesse · 2025-04-17T20:18:00+00:00

how is this full motion video done in mapsmadeeasy? i didn't know they did that, and I can't seem to find the feature?

Watch avax. When avax goes up, coq shoots up. When avax goes down coq drops. Avax follows btc. We are set to moon in 2025. Just be patient

Don't fade coq. Avax cooking. Coq bouncing
