Tools this recipe uses
search

Search my Bonzai life — everything that has happened to me and everything I think, like, and know: check-ins, status updates, memories, opinions, preferences, and my social history. Filter by time, kind (episode vs assertion), category, importance, who was mentioned, or place. Use `about` to ask what I can see about another person (e.g. their favorite restaurants). Fan out with several `queries` or several calls, then narrow.

profile

Look up who someone is on Bonzai — their profile card, how many homes they've built, and where they are right now. Use when the user asks "who is <name>?". Give a name or @handle.
