A key focus of HybridAI is “Function Calling”, which allows the AI to request other APIs and services in the background in specific situations and seamlessly integrate the output into the conversation. This can involve a wide range of tasks, such as querying weather services, stock market data, inventory systems, or even something as simple as retrieving energy prices for the next 24 hours—helping the user decide the most energy-efficient (and environmentally friendly) time to run their washing machine.
Or maybe you just want to know where the International Space Station is located at the moment…
As seen in the example with the Google Maps link, the AI can retain and reuse information in the ongoing conversation, even reformatting it when needed.
But of course, we wanted to take things one step further—because what would be the most logical function call for AI enthusiasts?
Naturally, the AI calling another AI!
This idea isn’t far-fetched at all, as there are now highly specialized AI systems, like Perplexity, which excels in retrieving real-time information.
So, let’s put it to the test—how many people protested against the AfD in Berlin yesterday?
Keep in mind, we’re currently chatting with ChatGPT 4.o-mini—an OpenAI model that is based on information from two years ago. This means it cannot know the answer to our question about the latest protests against the AfD in Berlin.
But that’s exactly why Function Calling is so powerful!
And of course, we can also ask about the current weather—for example, what’s it like right now in Auchenshuggle? 🚀
Cool, isn’t it?
