The AI worked 27 minutes and made his 5K and 10K running routes

He gave the AI his home address and asked for 5K and 10K loops from his house using OpenStreetMap data. It worked for 27 minutes and gave him both routes as a map he could view and as GPX and GeoJSON files he could download.

How it works

  1. He gives his address and asks for 5K and 10K loops using OpenStreetMap data
  2. The agent finds the address with Nominatim and downloads local roads and trails with Overpass
  3. It works out the loops on its own
  4. It builds a map page and GPX and GeoJSON files for both routes

Why it’s worth knowing

One short prompt and it went off for 27 minutes, pulled the local road and trail data itself, did the math, and handed back route files, not just advice.

Upgraded prompt

A ready-to-use prompt for this idea, built from research on what makes AI agents do the job right: who the AI should be, the exact steps, and a check to make sure it was done the way you wanted.
