Example Prompt
Try this with Claude using the Places Search tool
I need a venue for a 30-person team offsite near Liverpool Street, London. Use places-search to find conference centres, hotels with meeting rooms, and co-working spaces in the area. Show me the top options with ratings, addresses, and contact details.
Tips
- Include approximate headcount in your query to filter out venues that are too small or too large
- Ask Claude to pull website and phone details so you can send enquiries immediately
- Request a mix of venue types — formal conference space, hotel, and informal co-working — to cover different price points
