View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Fetches AI-generated text descriptions for points of interest (POIs) using the Brave Search API. You first run a web search with location filtering to get POI IDs, then pass those IDs to this endpoint to get markdown-formatted descriptions grounded in web search context. Up to 20 POIs per request.
Instead of manually reading reviews and writing summaries for each place, this returns ready-to-use markdown descriptions for up to 20 locations in a single API call.
When to use it
- Getting a written overview of a restaurant before adding it to a travel guide
- Pulling descriptive blurbs for local businesses found through Brave web search
- Adding narrative context to a list of nearby cafes or shops in an app
- Building a destination page with AI-written summaries of local attractions
- Comparing descriptions of multiple hotels in a city side by side
