weather-bot

A weather bot is the 'hello world' of LLM function calling. I've found the documentation for most function calling / tool calling to gloss over any actual API calls made. (I call peanut butter on it always being 75 and sunny in NYC). So here is a tool calling 'hello world' that actually calls an API. Shout out to NOAA for providing API access without a key, which makes running this example a breeze.* And thanks to the Pipecat AI framework, it's all done in ~200 lines of code. Lastly but not leastly, Gemini Multimodal Live is really fast and cool.
