The time it saves

Whenever someone writes in its chat. Doing the same work by hand takes about 5 minutes each time, so it saves about 25 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 2 blocks and 2 tools.

The flow, block by block

  1. ChatTrigger · ChatStarts the flow when someone writes in its chat: the chat window in the editor, or a chat page you can share or put on your website.
  2. HelplinexMap AI · AI agentAn AI agent: for each incoming message it thinks, uses the blocks you link to its Tools port (data, xMap AI, lookups, your tables, other flows, apps), remembers the conversation and writes an answer in {{reply}}.
  3. The weather therexMap data · Weather forecastA tool the AI agent uses when it needs itThe weather forecast (Open-Meteo, from national weather services) for up to 16 days: temperature, rain, wind and UV.

Every block can be changed after you use the template: the city, the type of place, the score, where the results go.
