Indexing rental data for LlamaIndex

Turn transient rental listings into persistent knowledge by indexing the results of `search_rentals`. LlamaIndex captures the output and transforms it into a vector store you can query anytime. This lets you run semantic searches across property descriptions and amenity lists. You aren't just fetching data; you're building a searchable archive of your preferred vacation options.

Semantic analysis of guest reviews

Feed `get_rental_reviews` into your index to compare properties based on actual guest experiences rather than just marketing photos. You can ask your agent to find rentals that consistently score high on cleanliness or location. It allows you to query your index for specific feedback. If you need a quiet place with good Wi-Fi, the agent pulls from the indexed reviews to confirm which properties meet those needs.

Unified knowledge for rental planning

Combine `get_rental_details` with your own documents in LlamaIndex to create a central source of truth for your trip. Your agent can cross-reference your flight itineraries with property policies pulled via `check_rental_policies`. This keeps your trip planning grounded in reality. By unifying live API data with your private notes, you ensure the agent always has the full context before making recommendations.
