Swinch

By Swinch AG

Overview

Swinch is a local discovery app for Switzerland. This plugin puts its live catalog into your conversation: restaurants, cafes, shops and attractions, plus the discounts, coupons and giveaways merchants are running on them right now. Ask in plain language instead of browsing — what is on offer in a city, what is open now, what sits near a landmark, or what is worth stopping for between two points. Every tool is read-only and works without an account or sign-in. Nothing here can create, change or delete anything, and the plugin cannot reach a Swinch account, its coupons or its order history; it returns only data already public on Swinch. Coverage is Switzerland only. A question about anywhere else returns nothing rather than an invented answer.

Tools

find_city

ChatGPT

nearby_to_entity

ChatGPT

on_the_way

ChatGPT

Find places between two points - 'anything on the way there?'. Defaults 'from' to the user's location. Results carry detourKm, how much longer the trip becomes by stopping, and are ordered smallest detour first. Each result carries its id.

search_attractions

ChatGPT

Find things to see and do: museums, viewpoints, parks, tours. Note attractions have no full-text index, so keyword is a narrow filter - prefer cityId or the user's location, and attractionTypeId when you know it.

search_businesses

ChatGPT

Find restaurants, cafes, shops and other businesses in the Swinch catalog. Use cuisineOrCategory for food styles ('indian', 'sushi', 'coffee') - it is expanded server-side into related terms. Results are flagged lowConfidence when the cuisine matched weakly or not at all.
