What Geocode Bot does
Geocoding is the unglamorous step between an address and a map: a string like "Baker Street 221B, London" has to become a pair of numbers before any software can put a pin on it. This bot does that step in a chat, without an API key, a signup or a browser tab.
In practice it saves time in small, repetitive jobs — filling a column in a spreadsheet, checking that an address a client sent actually resolves, or grabbing a point to paste into a script. Because the answer is plain coordinates, it drops into anything: a map link, a GPX file, a database field.
It is deliberately narrow. There is no reverse lookup of a nearby café, no route, no batch upload of a hundred addresses; for a location arriving in some unusual format, Better Location is the better tool.

FAQ
Can I send a list of addresses at once?
No, it answers one address per message; for bulk work use a geocoding API.
What if the address is not found?
Add the city and country to the line — most misses are an address that is ambiguous without them.
