Short answer

How do I track tide levels with my AI?

Your AI uses Stormglass tools to fetch tide extremes and sea level heights for any given coordinate. You get precise water movement data delivered directly into your chat interface.

Data outcomes

Where the data lands

The specific information your agent retrieves from the coast.

EXTREMES

Identify peak tides

The AI finds the highest and lowest water points for a location. You get the exact times and heights for high and low tides.

LEVELS

Track sea heights

Your agent pulls current sea level data at a specific point. This helps you monitor real-time water movement.

ALERTS

Automate warnings

You can instruct your AI to watch for specific tide thresholds. It identifies when water reaches significant levels.

HUMAN

Manual verification

The AI provides the raw data and calculated extremes. You decide how to act on these readings for safety or navigation.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your questions and the Stormglass ocean data.

  1. Locate the point

    Your AI identifies the specific geographic coordinates you are asking about to ensure the data is accurate.

  2. Fetch tide extremes

    The agent pulls the specific high and low tide data for that location.

    get_tide_extremes_point

  3. Get sea levels

    The AI retrieves the current sea level height at the requested point.

FAQ

How the tide monitoring works

  • 01

    Can the AI predict future storm surges?

    No. The tools only provide tide extremes and sea level heights.

  • 02

    Can the AI change the tide data in Stormglass?

    No. The AI can only read data from the service; it cannot modify any external records.

  • 03

    Do I need to provide coordinates every time?

    You can provide names of places, but providing specific coordinates ensures the most accurate data retrieval.

  • 04

    Can the AI send an automated text message when the tide is high?

    No. The AI can identify the high tide, but you must set up your own notification system to receive alerts.

  • 05

    Does the AI handle the data storage?

    No. The AI retrieves the data for your current session. It does not save a permanent database of tide levels for you.
