Travel Notes: Using Agents

Tinderbox agents can be useful for complex and sophisticated tasks, but some of the most useful agents can be set up in seconds.

You'll recall that we created a few prototypes to represent different kinds of notes -- notes about people, notes about dates, notes about packing. For example, for trips that are already scheduled, I always have at least one note giving the dates of the trip. Unscheduled treks, such as notes about places I want to go but for which I have no immediate plans, don't have any Date notes.

I can easily set up an agent to gather all these Date notes in one list.

While I'm at it, I can have the agent sort the notes by date, too. Instantly, I've got a high-level itinerary.
