Perplexity

Index live rental data

Turn search results from `search_cars` into a queryable knowledge base. LlamaIndex ingests these results, allowing your agent to reason over current inventory rather than outdated training data. Use `search_car_regions` to seed your index with valid locations. This ensures your agent always requests data for recognized regions, reducing API errors.

Contextual trip retrieval

Call `get_itinerary` to pull past booking details into your vector store. Your agent can then answer questions about upcoming trips by querying this indexed data. This creates a persistent memory of your rental history. It allows for quick cross-referencing between confirmed bookings and new search queries.

Refined selection via images

Incorporate `get_car_images` into your RAG pipeline to give your agent a visual understanding of the fleet. The agent can compare vehicle classes based on retrieved metadata and images. This grounding prevents the agent from making assumptions about vehicle types. It relies on the specific details returned by the server for each unique car offer.
