My wife and I are planning on moving this year. We have several criteria that we would like a city to have, so instead of doing the research manually and having to visit several websites to copy/paste data, I built a scenario that does the bulk of it for me. All I do is enter the zip code and city/state in variables and the scenario does the rest!
Hopefully you guys will appreciate what went into this. My wife said it was “neat” 
All of the collected data goes into a nicely formatted Google Doc for printing or sharing.
It outputs the following:
- Names the Google Doc: “Report for city/state”
- A brief summary and history about the city. (OpenAI)
- Current weather (weather app, Math app to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit)
- Weather forecast for the next 2 weeks (weather app, Math app to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit)
- Cost of Living (OpenAI)
- Demographics (OpenAI)
Lists 10 of each:
- Hospitals (Google Maps)
- Restaurants (Google Maps)
- Grocery stores (Google Maps)
- Coffee shops (Google Maps)
- Parks (Google Maps)
- Bars & Clubs (Google Maps)
- Museums and Art Galleries (Google Maps)
Creating a new branch is as easy as copying the last one and replacing the search term I want. For example, if I wanted to add dog parks or bike trails, I select the whole branch and then copy/paste the apps into a new branch and edit for those keywords.
To avoid Google Maps limits and errors (I think my API only allows so many results per time period.), I added 1 minute delays for each branch running Google Maps.
Overall, it was fun to put together, but it drains my operations quickly and it takes about 15 minutes to complete. I think my next phase may be to create an online form to enter the zip/city/state and then email a URL to the Google Doc…we’ll see.
