What problem does it solve?
This Skill allows an agent to efficiently search for and resolve information about local places, such as restaurants, cafes, and other points of interest, by leveraging a local Google Places API proxy.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Location Resolution: Accurately identifies and resolves user-provided location strings into structured geographical data.
- Place Searching: Enables searching for places based on various criteria like type, open status, rating, and price level, with optional location biasing.
- Place Details Retrieval: Fetches comprehensive details for a specific place, including contact information and operating hours.
- Use Case: A user asks, "Find a highly-rated, open Italian restaurant near me that's not too expensive." The agent uses this Skill to resolve "near me" to a specific location, then searches for Italian restaurants matching the criteria, and finally presents the best options.
