ROBOT ADVICE
Hi! I brought this up on last night's call, but I’m looking for guidance on setting up an autonomous AI agent 💻 The use case is a bit complex, so here’s an example: let’s say I want to streamline my wedding venue search. Ideally, the agent would:
• Start with a city and search for venues matching a description (e.g., wedding venue/villa) -- Google Maps
• Find contact details (email/phone) -- web search
• Reach out for pricing -- email + LLM
• Loop until it gathers enough pricing information and confirms the data structure with the business -- email + LLM
• Finally input everything into a database or spreadsheet -- Excel/PostgreSQL/other
I’ve already looked into tools like Relevance AI, Relay AI (more AP-focused), and Crescendo AI (more CX-focused), and now I’m thinking I may need someone to custom-build this in Python.
Does anyone have experience building something similar or working with someone good on projects like this? Any recommendations would be helpful!
this is such a cool topic! (and a great use case example 👰♀️)
i am NOT an expert here but here are some people who might have thoughts about this:

There are pretty simple , the agent can operate those
Just talked to my automations expert. He said, you can do all those with
“I'm envisioning a system where the user input is simply a city. The foundation of the whole system is a robust database where it logs all steps of the way, and connects the venues to the city. Then on top we'd have several no code automations all working seemlessly with the database:
• Extracting Google Maps results that match the search criteria (dynamic and flexible) to the database
• Searching for Email contacts from Google Maps or Website scraping.
• Automated email outreach.
• AI processing responses: categorizing, answering FAQs or scaling it to a human in the loop (if wanted).
• Feeding database with the details.
• Custom dashboard to read and interact with the database with ease.”

Thanks so much, @Marie Tuason -- super helpful and I'm going to try it out!

You can definitely make a full reachout flow in - but for simplicity sake, I’d personally just use the Deep Research model on Google Gemini. It won’t do reachouts but makes amazing tables.
Ex. as a test, I just threw in “Make me a list of 20 wedding venues/villas in Miami with contact details (email/phone) and pricing.” and it generated a big list like in the screenshot.
You can get Gemini Pro for 1 month free and use the Deep Research model.

I am going to apologize in advance for this but if you want to go down a Relevance AI and rabbit hole to get a sense of what can be done when combining the two..... I am currently trying to digest this video and teach myself to copy the concept.
