What Agents Can Do

• Ask: "What's 1532 14 Ave SW in Calgary worth?" — Gets assessed value, land value, building value, year built, lot size, and DLS coordinates.
• Ask: "Show me recent building permits in Vancouver" — Returns the latest construction permits with type, value, status, and issue dates.
• Ask: "What zone is this GPS point in?" — Looks up zoning district, land use, and boundary info.
• Ask: "Convert these 50 GPS points to DLS" — Batch converts in a single API call.
• Ask: "Is Shopify still an active corporation?" — Searches the federal business registry.
