Basically you declare to the AI which functions (tools) are available for it to call: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling?api...

Then you handle those function calls in your javascript.

``` if (function_name === 'search_recipes') { const searchParams = new URLSearchParams();

      if (args.name) searchParams.set('name', args.name);
      if (args.difficulty) searchParams.set('difficulty', formatDifficulty(args.difficulty));
      if (args.min_duration) searchParams.set('minDuration', args.min_duration.toString());
      if (args.max_duration) searchParams.set('maxDuration', args.max_duration.toString());
      if (args.tag) searchParams.set('tag', args.tag);
      
      // Handle ingredients array correctly - the search page expects ingredients[]
      if (args.ingredients && args.ingredients.length > 0) {
        // Clear any existing ingredients
        searchParams.delete('ingredients[]');
        
        // Add each ingredient individually with the correct array notation
        args.ingredients.forEach((ingredient: string) => {
          searchParams.append('ingredients[]', ingredient);
        });
      }
      
      const queryString = searchParams.toString();
      const url = queryString ? `/search?${queryString}` : '/search';
      
      navigate(url);
      return;
    }
    
    // start_cooking function
    if (function_name === 'start_cooking') {
      // First check if we have an onStartCooking callback registered
      if (callbacksRef.current.onStartCooking) {
        callbacksRef.current.onStartCooking();
        return;
      }
    }

```

Afraid I have a day job, so I will politely decline your kind invitation
