This is great. Want to come demo it in the weekly EarthPilot.ai AI Playground tomorrow at 11est?

Http://earthpilot.com/play and then join at AnthonyDavidAdams.com/zoom at 11 for show and tell.

I’m making a non-fiction book writing agent and I’d love to better understand how you used function calling to navigate the website!

Basically you declare to the AI which functions (tools) are available for it to call: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling?api...

Then you handle those function calls in your javascript.

``` if (function_name === 'search_recipes') { const searchParams = new URLSearchParams();

      if (args.name) searchParams.set('name', args.name);
      if (args.difficulty) searchParams.set('difficulty', formatDifficulty(args.difficulty));
      if (args.min_duration) searchParams.set('minDuration', args.min_duration.toString());
      if (args.max_duration) searchParams.set('maxDuration', args.max_duration.toString());
      if (args.tag) searchParams.set('tag', args.tag);
      
      // Handle ingredients array correctly - the search page expects ingredients[]
      if (args.ingredients && args.ingredients.length > 0) {
        // Clear any existing ingredients
        searchParams.delete('ingredients[]');
        
        // Add each ingredient individually with the correct array notation
        args.ingredients.forEach((ingredient: string) => {
          searchParams.append('ingredients[]', ingredient);
        });
      }
      
      const queryString = searchParams.toString();
      const url = queryString ? `/search?${queryString}` : '/search';
      
      navigate(url);
      return;
    }
    
    // start_cooking function
    if (function_name === 'start_cooking') {
      // First check if we have an onStartCooking callback registered
      if (callbacksRef.current.onStartCooking) {
        callbacksRef.current.onStartCooking();
        return;
      }
    }

```

Afraid I have a day job, so I will politely decline your kind invitation

Thanks! I’m going to show the folks what you built. We have VCs, founders, and all Sorts of folks who join us every week.
