The broker asks their agent: 'Show me three yachts in the Mediterranean next month.' The agent uses `list_yachts` to narrow it down, then runs `get_prices` against those models. It gives the broker enough data points to present three fully costed options immediately. ### A fleet manager needs to check status and equipment. The operator asks: 'What's wrong with yacht 102?' The agent calls `get_yacht` for full specs, confirming the required GPS plotter is installed. It also checks `list_bookings` to see if there are any pending maintenance flags. ### Booking a trip after initial discovery. The travel agent confirms dates and models with the client. The agent uses `check_availability` first, then generates an official quote via `get_offers`. Finally, when the client agrees, the agent executes `create_booking`. ### Mapping out logistics for a new destination. The planner asks: 'Where can we dock in Sardinia?' The agent calls `list_bases` to provide marina locations and then uses `list_companies` to see which operators serve those specific ports. ## Benefits - Stop manually checking dates. Use `check_availability` to instantly see if a yacht is free for your client, saving minutes on every inquiry. - Get total pricing in one go. Instead of guessing costs, use `get_prices` to calculate accurate quotes that include taxes and mandatory fees. - Streamline the whole process. Once you've confirmed everything, simply trigger `create_booking` to secure the reservation without leaving your conversation. - Never get lost in the inventory. Use `list_yachts` or `list_companies` to quickly browse the entire fleet and see who operates where. - See what else is available. Don't forget extras; use `get_extras` after selecting a yacht to suggest additional services like diving gear. ## How It Works The bottom line is that you guide your AI client through the entire process—from browsing inventory to confirming payment—using conversational language. 1. Start by telling your AI client what you need: a list of available yachts or the details of a particular charter base. 2. Next, ask it to check availability and calculate prices for specific dates. The agent pulls all necessary data points into one response. 3. Finally, if you're ready, tell it to create the booking, sending the reservation directly through your workspace. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I check if my desired dates are available using check_availability?** You tell your agent the specific yacht name or ID and the exact date range.
