Location agent

The Location agent — meeting venue, airport, neighbourhood

Scores meeting venue distance, airport proximity, neighbourhood fit, transport options, and local context.

Direct answer

Scores meeting venue distance, airport proximity, neighbourhood fit, transport options, and local context.

What it does

The Location agent computes practical distances — to the meeting venue if specified, to the relevant airport, to the centre of the neighbourhood the traveller has implicitly indicated. It also scores neighbourhood fit (quiet/buzzing, family-suitable/business-suitable) and surfaces transport options.

Frequently asked

What does the Location agent actually do?

Scores meeting venue distance, airport proximity, neighbourhood fit, transport options, and local context.

Does it run on every search?

Yes. The orchestrator dispatches all 10 agents in parallel for every search. Each agent has a time budget; if one runs slow, partial results stream into the UI while it finishes.

What if it can't find an answer?

It returns 'unknown' with confidence. The ranking engine uses the absence of evidence as a signal — a hotel where the Amenities agent can't validate Wi-Fi will rank lower than one where it can.

Where do I see this in production?

app.impt.io. The Swarm UI surfaces what each agent found — Phase 1 build in progress.
