Perplexity

Ground your RAG with LlamaIndex

Convert live game updates into searchable knowledge. Use `get_nba_scores` to pull data that the system indexes for future queries. Your RAG application stays current. Instead of relying on static documents, you query the latest league schedules through an indexed interface.

Search past performance in LlamaIndex

Store historical results from `get_mlb_player_details` in your vector store. You perform semantic searches across player stats to find trends. This turns raw API output into a queryable archive. You ask questions about players and get answers backed by the data you indexed.

Unified sports data indexing

Combine documents and live API feeds. Your LlamaIndex setup treats `list_nfl_players` results as part of the same knowledge base as your local files. Everything is searchable. You build a system where the AI retrieves live data to answer complex questions about roster changes or upcoming games.
