## 📊 **What Happens Behind the Scenes**

### **User Input:**
```
"Add new driver Tom Wilson, phone 555-0101, drives a van, plate ABC-123"
```

### **Gemini Processing:**
1. **Parses** your natural language input
2. **Extracts** driver information:
   - name: "Tom Wilson"
   - phone: "555-0101"
   - vehicle_type: "van"
   - vehicle_plate: "ABC-123"
3. **Calls** `create_driver` tool with extracted data
4. **Database** inserts the driver with auto-generated ID
5. **Returns** confirmation message

### **Database Record Created:**
```sql
INSERT INTO drivers (
    driver_id,           -- DRV-20251114113250 (auto)
    name,                -- Tom Wilson
    phone,               -- 555-0101
    vehicle_type,        -- van
    vehicle_plate,       -- ABC-123
    status,              -- active (default)
    capacity_kg,         -- 1000.0 (default)
    capacity_m3,         -- 12.0 (default)
    skills,              -- [] (empty)
    current_lat,         -- 37.7749 (default SF)
    current_lng,         -- -122.4194 (default SF)
    last_location_update -- 2025-11-14 11:32:50

## 🔄 **Comparison: Orders vs Drivers**

```
User: "Add driver Tom Wilson, phone 555-0101, van"
    ↓
