A man in Kyiv built a tool that only pings him when drone reports come close to home

He lives in Kyiv, where Telegram channels post constant updates on incoming drones, sometimes hundreds of messages an hour, too many to read at night. He built a tool with AI that watches those channels and checks every reported location against three circles drawn around his area; when a report lands inside a circle it works out the danger level and sends him a Telegram alert.

How it works

  1. Watch the alert channels
  2. Read each reported location
  3. Check it against his three circles
  4. Rate the danger
  5. Send a Telegram alert only when a report is close

Why it’s worth knowing

The filter is the product: hundreds of messages an hour become a ping only when a drone is reported inside his circles.
