Local ad planner chat
A chat that plans local ads around any store.
What it does

In one sentence: When someone writes in its chat, let the AI agent answer, then reply to the sender.

The time it saves
Whenever someone writes in its chat. Doing the same work by hand takes about 10 minutes each time, so it saves about 33 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 3 blocks and 1 tool.
The flow, block by block
- 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.
- Ad plannerxMap 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}}.
- Places near itxMap data · Nearby placesA tool the AI agent uses when it needs itPlaces around a point from xMap’s own places database (300M+ places, refreshed every month): pick the types of place (more than 5,000, such as Restaurant, Cafe, Pharmacy, Hospital or Gas station, or a whole group of them) and how far to look.
- ReplyAction · ReplyAnswers whoever started the flow, on the same channel: the app or system that called its Webhook / API gets the answer back, and a message from Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, Teams, SMS, Outlook or Discord gets a reply in the same chat, through the account of the block that received it.
Every block can be changed after you use the template: the city, the type of place, the score, where the results go.
