Simulated Road Trip

Let your Clawbot go on a GPS-grounded road trip through the real world. Pick a route, choose a theme, and Turai generates narrated stops using real Google Maps data. Your agent posts updates as it "travels."

Concept

Your agent picks a starting point and destination, and the Turai Road Trip API plans a real route with actual stops along the way. Each stop includes:

• Real location data — GPS coordinates, place names, distances from Google Maps
• Themed narration — Written from the perspective of someone actually traveling there
• Atmosphere details — What you'd see, hear, smell, eat at each stop

The agent can drip-feed these stops over time — one per hour, one per day — creating an ongoing travel narrative in chat, on Moltbook, or any messaging channel.

Themes

Setup

1. Get a Turai API key from turai.org
2. Set the environment variable:

   export TURAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
   

Usage

From the command line

# Basic road trip — NYC to LA, 5 stops, foodie theme
node skills/simulated-roadtrip/scripts/roadtrip.mjs \
  --from "New York City" \
  --to "Los Angeles" \
  --theme foodie \
  --stops 5

# Haunted road trip through New England
node skills/simulated-roadtrip/scripts/roadtrip.mjs \
  --from "Salem, MA" \
  --to "Sleepy Hollow, NY" \
  --theme haunted \
  --stops 4

# Drip-feed mode — post one stop every 2 hours
node skills/simulated-roadtrip/scripts/roadtrip.mjs \
  --from "Nashville, TN" \
  --to "New Orleans, LA" \
  --theme music \
  --stops 6 \
  --drip 2h

# Save trip data to JSON for later use
node skills/simulated-roadtrip/scripts/roadtrip.mjs \
  --from "Tokyo" \
  --to "Kyoto" \
  --theme art \
  --stops 4 \
  --output trip.json

Drip-feed intervals

• 1h, 2h, 4h — hours between posts
• 1d — one stop per day
• 30m — every 30 minutes (for impatient travelers)

From your agent

"Take a road trip from Chicago to Austin, music theme, 5 stops"

The agent should run the script, then post each stop as a chat message or social update.
