Google routes integration

Integrate with the Google routes tool using LangChain JavaScript.

The Google Routes Tool allows your agent to utilize the Google Routes API in order to find a route between two or more destinations. You can get a route by walk, transit, car, motorcycle and bicycle.

Setup

You will need to get an API key from Google here and enable the Routes API. Then, set your API key as process.env.GOOGLE_ROUTES_API_KEY or pass it in as an apiKey constructor argument.

Usage

See this section for general instructions on installing LangChain packages.

npm

npm install @langchain/openai @langchain/community @langchain/core

import { GoogleRoutesAPI } from "@langchain/community/tools/google_routes";
import { ChatPromptTemplate } from "@langchain/core/prompts";
import { ChatOpenAI } from "@langchain/openai";
import { AgentExecutor, createToolCallingAgent } from "@langchain/classic/agents";

export async function run() {
  const tools = [new GoogleRoutesAPI()];

  const llm = new ChatOpenAI({
    model: "gpt-3.5-turbo-0125",
  });

  const prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.fromMessages([
    ["system", "You are a helpful assistant"],
    ["placeholder", "{chat_history}"],
    ["human", "{input}"],
    ["placeholder", "{agent_scratchpad}"],
  ]);

  const agent = await createToolCallingAgent({
    llm,
    tools,
    prompt,
  });

  const agentExecutor = new AgentExecutor({
    agent,
    tools,
  });

  const result = await agentExecutor.invoke({
    input: "How to go from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre Museum by transit?",
  });

  console.log(result);

  /* {
    input: 'How to go from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre Museum by transit?',
