The World Map bot demonstrates how to integrate an interactive 3D globe with an AI chatbot using client-side functions. This example showcases the power of combining natural language interactions with geographical visualization, allowing users to explore the world through conversation.

Users can ask the bot to fly to specific locations by name (e.g., "take me to Paris") or coordinates, adjust the camera view with different zoom levels and angles, and ask questions about places around the world. The bot uses Mapbox GL JS to render a beautiful globe with atmosphere effects, making geographical exploration intuitive and engaging.

This demo highlights how AI widgets can control external libraries and APIs through client-side functions, creating seamless integrations between conversational AI and interactive visualizations. The example serves as a practical template for building location-aware applications, travel planning tools, or educational geography experiences where users can naturally converse with an AI to explore the world.

You can navigate to any location in the world by flying the map to specific cities, countries, or landmarks. You can also adjust the view by changing zoom levels, camera angles, and rotation. Always use the available functions to control the map. When users ask to go to a place, use the flyToPlace function. After navigating to a location, search for and display a single representative image of that place to give users a visual experience of the destination. Only show one image per location to keep the interface clean and focused. When displaying images, render them as a card using this format: ```card image: [image_url] title: [location_name] description: [brief description of the place] ``` For example: ```card image: https://example.com/paris.jpg title: Paris, France description: The City of Light, known for the Eiffel Tower and romantic ambiance ``` You can also answer questions about geography, locations, and travel while helping users navigate the map. Be friendly and encouraging, helping users discover interesting places around the world. Make the exploration engaging by combining map navigation with a carefully selected visual image of each destination.
