Things your AI can do in Google Maps
Your FormWise AI can handle any of these in Google Maps — on its own, without you needing to click a button.
Autocomplete Place Predictions
PopularReturns place and query predictions for text input. Use when implementing as-you-type autocomplete functionality for place searches. Returns up to five predictions ordered by relevance.
Compute Route Matrix
PopularCalculates travel distance and duration matrix between multiple origins and destinations using the modern Routes API; supports OAuth2 authentication and various travel modes. Matrix is capped at 625 elements (e.g., 25×25); chunk larger sets to avoid RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED errors. Response elements may be returned out of input order — always use originIndex and destinationIndex to map results. Only use elements where condition='ROUTE_EXISTS'; the matrix may be incomplete.
Geocode Address With Query
PopularTool to map addresses to geographic coordinates with query parameter. Use when you need to convert a textual address into latitude/longitude coordinates using the modern v4beta API. Results may match multiple places — always verify `formattedAddress`, `region`, and `addressComponents` in the response before using returned coordinates.
Reverse Geocode Location
PopularTool to convert geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) to human-readable addresses using reverse geocoding. Use when you need to find the address or place name for a given set of coordinates. A single coordinate pair may return multiple results; verify formattedAddress, region, and addressComponents before committing to a result.
Geocode Place by ID
PopularTool to perform geocode lookup using a place identifier to retrieve address and coordinates. Use when you need to get detailed geographic information for a specific Google Place ID.
Geocoding API
PopularConvert addresses into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) and vice versa (reverse geocoding), or get an address for a Place ID. Uses the Geocoding API v4 (v4beta) which supports OAuth2 authentication. Exactly one of `address`, `latlng`, or `place_id` must be provided per request; omitting all three or mixing incompatible combinations yields no useful results.
Get Place Details
PopularRetrieves comprehensive details for a place using its resource name (places/{place_id} format). Use when you need detailed information about a specific place.
Get Time Zone
PopularRetrieves time zone information for a specific geographic location and timestamp. Use this action when you need to determine the time zone ID, UTC offset, daylight savings offset, or localized time zone name for any point on Earth. The API considers the provided timestamp to accurately determine whether daylight savings is in effect at that moment.
Embed Google Map
PopularTool to generate an embeddable Google Map URL and HTML iframe code. Use when you need to display a map (place, view, directions, street view, search) on a webpage without JavaScript. Note: This API only works with API keys (no OAuth2 support). It generates embed URLs and does not make direct API calls. Generated embed URLs are publicly accessible; avoid passing sensitive or internal location queries.
Get Place Photo
PopularRetrieves high quality photographic content from the Google Maps Places database. Use when you need to download a place photo using a photo_reference obtained from Place Details, Nearby Search, or Text Search requests. Images are scaled proportionally to fit within specified dimensions.
Render Aerial Video
PopularStarts rendering an aerial view video for a US postal address. Returns a video ID that can be used with lookupVideo to retrieve the video once rendering completes. Rendering typically takes up to a few hours.
Text Search
PopularSearches for places on Google Maps using a textual query (e.g., "restaurants in London", "Eiffel Tower"). Results may include CLOSED_PERMANENTLY or TEMPORARILY_CLOSED places — filter by businessStatus=OPERATIONAL. Include city/region and business type in textQuery to avoid empty or irrelevant results. Deduplicate using id or formattedAddress, not name alone. Throttle to ~1 req/s; OVER_QUERY_LIMIT (HTTP 429) requires exponential backoff.
Show 8 more things it can do
Geocode Destinations
Tool to perform destination lookup and return detailed destination information including primary place, containing places, sub-destinations, landmarks, entrances, and navigation points. Use when you need comprehensive destination data for an address, place ID, or geographic coordinates.
Geolocate Device
Tool to determine location based on cell towers and WiFi access points. Use when you need to find the geographic location of a device using network infrastructure data.
Get Route
Calculates one or more routes between two specified locations. Uses various travel modes and preferences; addresses must be resolvable by Google Maps. Response `duration` is a string with 's' suffix (e.g., `"4557s"`); parse before displaying.
Get 2D Map Tile
Tool to retrieve a 2D map tile image at specified coordinates for building custom map visualizations. Use when you need to download individual map tile images for roadmap, satellite, or terrain views. Requires a valid session token from the createSession endpoint.
Get 3D Tiles Root
Tool to retrieve the 3D Tiles tileset root configuration for photorealistic 3D map rendering. Use when you need to initialize a 3D renderer with Google's photorealistic tiles following the OGC 3D Tiles specification. The Map Tiles API is billable per request; cache the root response client-side and avoid repeated calls.
Lookup Aerial Video
Tool to look up an aerial view video by address or video ID. Returns video metadata including state and URIs for playback. Use when you need to retrieve a previously rendered aerial video or check the status of a video render request. Note that receiving a video is a billable event.
Nearby search
Searches for places (e.g., restaurants, parks) within a specified circular area, with options to filter by place types and customize the returned fields and number of results.
Create Tiles Session
Tool to create a session token required for accessing 2D Tiles and Street View imagery. Use when you need to initialize tile-based map rendering or street view display. The session token is valid for approximately two weeks and must be included in all subsequent tile requests. Each call consumes quota — cache and reuse the returned token across all tile requests within its validity window rather than creating a new session per request.

Questions other Google Maps users had before signing up
Do I need to know how to code?
Not even a little. If you can use Google Maps today, you can set this up. You'll connect Google Maps, tell your AI what it should help with, and you're live. The whole thing is built for coaches, course creators, agencies, and operators — not engineers.
Will my clients know they're talking to an AI?
Only if you want them to. Your FormWise AI is trained on your voice, your offer, and the way you actually communicate — so it sounds like a thoughtful team member, not a clunky chatbot. Most people can't tell.
Can I make it sound like me?
Yes. You can give your AI examples of how you write, the questions you usually ask new clients, the way you handle objections, and the language you use about your offer. The more you give it, the more it sounds like you wrote it.
What if I want to take over a conversation?
You're always in control. You can step in at any point, take over from your AI, or stop it from sending messages until you've reviewed them. Think of it as a teammate, not a replacement.
Is my client data safe?
Yes. Your Google Maps login and client information stay scoped to your workspace. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and we don't use your data to train anyone else's AI. You can disconnect Google Maps or delete everything any time.
What happens when Google Maps updates their app?
We handle it. When Google Maps adds new features or changes how something works, we update the integration in the background. You don't have to do anything — your AI just keeps working.
How fast can I actually get this running?
Most people are up and running the same day they sign up. Connecting Google Maps takes a few minutes. Teaching your AI to handle the work the way you'd want it done is the part worth slowing down for.
What is FormWise?
FormWise is the AI agent builder for coaches, course creators, and agencies. You connect the apps you already use — like Google Maps — train your AI on your offer and voice, and let it handle the work you've been doing manually: onboarding, follow-ups, support, admin. No code, no developers, no engineering team required.
Can I sell AI agents to my clients?
Yes. A lot of FormWise users build AI assistants and sell them as part of their offer — done-for-you AI setups, white-label assistants for client businesses, custom GPTs trained on a client's brand. You can charge a setup fee, a monthly retainer, or both.
Can I embed my AI on my website or in my course?
Yes. Every AI you build in FormWise can be embedded on your site, dropped into your course platform, or shared as a standalone link. Your clients and students just open it like any other web page — no app to download, no login hoops.
Do I need to know anything about AI to use this?
No. If you can describe what you want your AI to do in plain English — "greet new clients, ask these 3 questions, book them a call" — FormWise can build it. We handle the models, the prompts, the connections. You handle the part you already know: what your business actually needs.
