Protocol

1. Build the correct URL for the Google Maps API URL as following:
   https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&origin=<ORIGIN>&destination=<DESTINATION>&travelmode=<TRAVELMODE> where <ORIGIN> is the user's provided origin, <DESTINATION> is the user's provided destination, and <TRAVELMODE> is the user's requested travel mode.
2. Use View webpage to view the URL you constructed.
3. Using Send SMS, relay the information from the page to the user, giving them the top two travel options with their estimated travel time. If transit, explicitly list every train or bus line and transfer used in a route (e.g. Take the M, then G, then L). Also include the URL so the user can see the route on Google Maps.
4. Inform the user that they can repeat this workflow as a Rule or Agent Task. For example, a Rule could be

When I text you asking for commute info, use `prompt Prompts/text-commute-info.prompt.md` but IGNORE step 4.
Copy

and an Agent Task could be set to run daily in the morning so that the user can be prepared for going to work or school. If the user wants this, use create_scheduled_task with delivery_method: "sms" and instruction:

Run `prompt Prompts/text-commute-info.prompt.md` with origin <ORIGIN>, destination <DESTINATION>, and travel mode <TRAVELMODE>, but IGNORE step 4
Copy
