Prerequisites
Inputs
- Origin
- Destination
- Travel mode (driving, transit, walking, bicycling, two-wheeler)
Protocol
- Build the correct URL for the Google Maps API URL as following:
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=<ORIGIN>&destination=<DESTINATION>&travelmode=<TRAVELMODE> where <ORIGIN> is the user's provided origin, <DESTINATION> is the user's provided destination, and <TRAVELMODE> is the user's requested travel mode.
- Use
tool open_webpage to navigate to the URL you constructed, then use tool view_webpage to inspect the route options.
- If the user explicitly asked for a text message, use
tool send_sms_to_user to relay the information from the page, giving them the top two travel options with their estimated travel time. If transit, explicitly list every train or bus line and transfer used in a route (e.g. Take the M, then G, then L). Also include the URL so the user can see the route on Google Maps. If they did not ask for a text, reply in the current chat instead.
- Inform the user that they can repeat this workflow as a
Rule or scheduled Agent. For example, a Rule could be
When I text you asking for commute info, use `prompt Prompts/text-commute-info.prompt.md` but IGNORE step 4.
and a scheduled Agent could be set to run daily in the morning so that the user can be prepared for going to work or school. If the user explicitly wants this, use tool create_agent with SMS delivery and instruction:
Run `prompt Prompts/text-commute-info.prompt.md` with origin <ORIGIN>, destination <DESTINATION>, and travel mode <TRAVELMODE>, but IGNORE step 4
