Hack #1: Firecrawl · Firecrawl

We built El Parcero de Usaquén — a real-time voice agent that acts as the ultimate local guide for Usaquén, one of the most visited neighborhoods in Bogotá, Colombia. The problem we solved is simple: everyone googles "what to do in Usaquén" and gets the same flat, outdated, ad-driven list. No context. No real-time data. No personality. El Parcero fixes that. Users speak naturally in any language. The agent uses Firecrawl Search to crawl the web in real time — pulling live reviews, business info, events, and schedules across the neighborhood. ElevenAgents then processes that data and responds with a voice that has actual personality: warm, knowledgeable, opinionated, and built around the culture of the neighborhood. Under the hood: when a user asks a question, ElevenAgents triggers a webhook to a Supabase Edge Function, which calls the Firecrawl Search API with a location-aware query. The results come back as clean markdown, get synthesized, and are delivered as a natural voice response in under two seconds. What makes it different from a chatbot or a search engine is the combination of live web intelligence via Firecrawl and expressive voice via ElevenAgents. Every answer is grounded in real, current data — not a knowledge base frozen in time. And it works in any language, instantly. We also built a full admin panel where the neighborhood, search parameters, agent personality, and voice can all be reconfigured — making this replicable for any neighborhood, city, or destination in the world.
