Usage Examples

Travel Safety Briefing

"I'm driving the Ring Road from Akureyri to Egilsstadir tomorrow. Is it safe?"

The AI calls get_weather, get_road_conditions, and get_safety_alerts to produce a comprehensive travel safety briefing with real-time data from three official Icelandic sources.

Find and Book Accommodation

"Find me somewhere cozy to stay near Vik for two people this Saturday."

The AI calls search_operators, check_availability, and get_price_quote to find available options with dual-currency pricing (ISK + EUR/USD). If the user confirms, it creates a booking and provides a payment link.

Northern Lights Planning

"What are the chances of seeing the Northern Lights tonight? Where should I go?"

The AI calls get_aurora_forecast and get_weather for multiple regions to synthesise aurora probability with local cloud cover, recommending the best viewing locations.
