## Example Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Goose acts as an autonomous agent that tracks a delivery driver’s location, updates the customer in real-time, and adjusts ETAs dynamically based on Google Maps traffic data.
|
||||
|
||||
Goose can:
|
||||
|
||||
**Monitor Driver Location**
|
||||
* Goose gets the driver’s GPS coordinates every few seconds.
|
||||
* If the driver’s location is significantly behind schedule, Goose recalculates the ETA.
|
||||
|
||||
**Traffic-Aware ETA Adjustments**
|
||||
* Goose queries Google Maps for live traffic conditions.
|
||||
* If delays are detected, Goose updates the customer’s tracker with a new estimated time.
|
||||
|
||||
**Dynamic Customer Notifications**
|
||||
* If the driver is stuck in traffic, Goose sends an alert to the customer: “Your driver is running late due to traffic. Updated ETA: 7:25 PM.”
|
||||
* If the driver is ahead of schedule, Goose notifies the restaurant to prepare the food earlier.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Goose Prompt
|
||||
```
|
||||
Track the live GPS location of driver ID #12345. Query Google Maps for real-time traffic data and adjust the estimated delivery time if delays exceed 5 minutes. If ETA changes, update the customer’s live tracker and send an SMS notification. If the delay is greater than 20 minutes, check if another driver within a 1-mile radius can take over the delivery.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Goose Output
|
||||
|
||||
:::note CLI
|
||||
Okay, I will track Driver #12345, query Google Maps for traffic data, adjust the ETA, and notify the customer.
|
||||
|
||||
**Track Driver's GPS Location**
|
||||
|
||||
* **Driver ID:** #12345
|
||||
* **Starting Point:** 1955 Broadway, Suite 600, Oakland, CA 94612
|
||||
|
||||
Driver #12345's movement:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
2025-02-23 08:20:00: Latitude: 37.8074, Longitude: -122.2697 (Starting point)
|
||||
2025-02-23 08:21:00: Latitude: 37.8080, Longitude: -122.2690
|
||||
2025-02-23 08:22:00: Latitude: 37.8090, Longitude: -122.2680
|
||||
2025-02-23 08:23:00: Latitude: 37.8100, Longitude: -122.2670
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Geocode Destination Address**
|
||||
|
||||
* **Customer Address:** 2111 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA
|
||||
|
||||
I will convert this address into geographic coordinates:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
`─── maps_geocode | googlemaps ──────────────────────────`
|
||||
|
||||
address: 2111 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Latitude: 37.7631446
|
||||
Longitude: -122.4192073
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Get Initial Directions and ETA**
|
||||
|
||||
I will get the initial route and ETA from the driver's starting point to the customer's address.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
`─── maps_directions | googlemaps ──────────────────────────`
|
||||
|
||||
destination: 2111 Mission St, San Francisco, CA
|
||||
mode: driving
|
||||
origin: ...
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Distance: 12.1 miles
|
||||
Initial ETA: 21 minutes
|
||||
Estimated arrival at: 08:41 AM
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Monitor Traffic and Adjust ETA**
|
||||
|
||||
I will monitor traffic updates and recalculate the ETA periodically.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Remaining Distance: 8 miles
|
||||
Updated ETA: 15 minutes
|
||||
Estimated arrival at: 08:45 AM
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
There is no significant delay.
|
||||
|
||||
*At 08:35 AM:* There's a traffic incident.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
`─── maps_directions | googlemaps ──────────────────────────`
|
||||
|
||||
destination: 2111 Mission St, San Francisco, CA
|
||||
mode: driving
|
||||
origin: Latitude: 37.8100, Longitude: -122.2670
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
I apologize, I am unable to use the lat/long for the request. I will call google maps api with names instead.
|
||||
|
||||
`─── maps_directions | googlemaps ──────────────────────────`
|
||||
|
||||
destination: 2111 Mission St, San Francisco, CA
|
||||
mode: driving
|
||||
origin: ...
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Remaining Distance: 7 miles
|
||||
Updated ETA: 26 minutes
|
||||
Estimated arrival at: 08:46 AM
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The ETA has increased by 5 minutes from the original ETA of 08:41 AM. The directions now include a message: "Expect delays due to congestion."
|
||||
|
||||
**Update Customer and Send SMS**
|
||||
|
||||
[... other extensions used (e.g. Webhooks, MySQL, ClickSend)...]
|
||||
|
||||
* **Update Live Tracker:** The customer's live tracking interface is updated to reflect the new ETA of 08:46 AM.
|
||||
* **Send SMS Notification:** _"Your delivery is now expected to arrive at approximately 08:46 AM due to traffic. We apologize for the inconvenience."_
