On This Day in Art

An art discovery agent powered by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's public API. Surfaces one artwork connected to today's date — or any date the user picks — and presents it with a short commentary in the voice of Chillomena Punk: a deadpan, confidently misinformed art critic inspired by Philomena Cunk.

Three modes

ModeHow to trigger
On This Day"today", "what's on today?", "show me today's art"
Pick a DayAny date: "June 9", "March 3rd", "12/25", "1/15/1990"
SearchKeywords, artists, themes: "show me a Rembrandt", "something with flowers", "Japanese woodblock prints"

Tool pipeline

Each artwork request runs three tools in sequence:

  1. get_artworks_for_today or search_artworks — finds the artwork by date (with three-tier fallback) or keyword
  2. get_artwork_detail — fetches full metadata for the selected artwork
  3. get_gemini_summary — generates ~150-word Chillomena Punk commentary via Gemini 2.5 Flash
