Weather and Traffic Inquiry
Check the weather and line conditions in YOYO's task or Chat Mode; usually no AI points are charged.
What this guide covers
Asking about weather or traffic/commute in YOYO falls under structured queries: the system directly reads the configuration and data sources, usually without involving large models or charging AI points. Both Task Mode and Chat Mode can be used, with the same data; Chat Mode may just have a more conversational tone.
Before you start
| Capability | Configuration Required |
|---|---|
| Weather | Default city in Settings → Weather settings; or include city name in the sentence |
| Transport / Commute | Add routes in Settings → My Follows → Transport (LINE cannot select routes) |
For more details, see Weather settings and My Follows.
Weather: How to Say
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| Today's weather / Tomorrow's weather | Default city forecast |
| Tokyo weather / How about Osaka | Specify or switch city |
| Will it rain? / Is it cold? / Should I bring an umbrella? | Colloquial questioning (still follows structured query) |
You can also send Command Help·Weather & Transit to view complete examples.
Transportation: How to Say
In addition to fixed phrases like Commute and Traffic anomalies, it also supports natural language:
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| How's the traffic today? | Overview of the line of interest |
| Is the Yamanote Line delayed? | Specific line status |
| How's the JR operation status / Is there a delay for the train? | Casual questioning |
The lines must be configured in My Follows in the App; if not configured, YOYO will prompt to set it up instead of fabricating delay information.
Differences Between the Two Modes
| Item | Task Mode | Chat Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Data Source | Same | Same |
| AI points Charged | Usually No | Usually No |
| Response Tone | Shorter, more definitive | More conversational, more companionable |
| Task Instructions Mixed In | — | To-do items, etc. may ask you to confirm first |
See the general principles in Modes and Billing.
Reply Source Identifier
Beneath structured weather/traffic replies, small text such as "Structured Query · Weather" may appear. You can toggle the display in YOYO settings → Mode and Charge Explanation.
What to Do When You Can't Find Information

|---|---|

| No route followed | Open My Follows |
