Search with AI answer

./scripts/query.sh '{"query": "best brunch spots in Brooklyn", "answer": true}'

Historical data query

./scripts/query.sh '{"query": "restaurants", "lat": 40.7589, "lon": -73.9851, "time": "2020-01-01"}'

Best Practices

For known locations (cities, landmarks), you can omit lat/lon and let the AI generate coordinates
Use rank: true for more relevant results when searching by attributes (e.g., "quiet", "cheap")
Enable answer: true when you need a natural language summary of results
Use mode: "advanced" for richer place data from web sources
Keep queries descriptive but concise for best AI interpretation
