# Weather Tool – Personal Assistant with Weather Integration

Created by [Ayaz Somani](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayazs) as a community contribution.

## Overview

This Weather Tool community contribution gives the personal assistant chatbot the ability to discuss weather casually and contextually. It integrates real-time weather data from the Open-Meteo API, allowing the assistant to respond naturally to weather-related topics.

The assistant can reference weather in its current (simulated) location, the user’s location (if mentioned), or any other city brought up in conversation. This builds a more engaging, humanlike interaction while preserving the assistant’s focus on personal and professional topics defined in the `me` folder.

## Features

### New Capabilities
- **Real-Time Weather Updates** | Seamless integration with Open-Meteo’s API
- **Natural Weather Mentions** | Assistant introduces weather organically during conversation, not just in response to questions

### Technical Enhancements
- **Location Resolution** | Uses Open-Meteo’s geocoding API to convert place names to coordinates
- **Weather Lookup** | Fetches current temperature, conditions, and other data from Open-Meteo
