Weather

Weather is a built-in chat capability—not an installable integration. When enabled, the getWeather tool is available in every chat session automatically. You do not select it in the integration picker.

Forecasts come from Open-Meteo (global coverage). Place names are turned into coordinates with a geocoding service (Nominatim by default).

How it works​

When the model calls getWeather, Toby:

  1. Resolves the place (from a name, latitude/longitude, or your default location).
  2. Fetches forecast data for the requested date (or today).
  3. Returns structured fields such as temperature range, precipitation, wind, and a short weather description.

The free Open-Meteo tier needs no API key. If you have a paid/commercial Open-Meteo subscription, you can paste your API key so Toby uses the customer endpoint.

Configure​

  1. Open Toby.app → Settings → Weather.
  2. Set Enabled to On.
  3. Optionally set:
SettingPurpose
Default locationUsed when you ask about “the weather” without naming a place
Temperature unitCelsius or Fahrenheit
Open-Meteo API keyOptional paid/customer key for higher limits / commercial use

Using weather in chat​

Once enabled, ask Toby about the weather. Prefer natural questions:

Example prompts​

  • “What’s the weather in Seattle tomorrow?”
  • “Will it rain in Tokyo this weekend?”
  • “Hourly forecast for 37.77, -122.42 on Friday”
  • “How hot will it be in London next Tuesday?”

Toby should use getWeather for these instead of a general web search when Weather is on.

For “weather near me” / “here” without a place name, Toby may call getMyLocation first (see Location), then pass coordinates into getWeather.
