Soundcheck Instant Quotes

Turn messy live-event material (pasted festival pack, email, rundown, or notes) into a Universal Event Format (UEF) draft plus missing_fields, open_questions, and confidence. Analyze only: no login, no organization, nothing is saved or committed, and dates/venues are never invented (absent facts stay null and appear in missing_fields). AI processing: the pasted text is sent to a third-party AI provider, Anthropic (Claude), through the Vercel AI Gateway with zero-data-retention routing requested; Soundcheck does not save it to any event or account (https://soundchecklive.io/privacy). When the AI provider is not configured the tool returns a clear error. Optional hint: event type, locale, or format (text|csv|unknown). File upload (content_base64) is a follow-up — paste text for now.

analyze_event_to_uef

Returns a ballpark cost, budget range, or line-item needs estimate for a live event (party, birthday, wedding, corporate offsite, conference, concert, festival, gala, fundraiser, and similar). No login. Takes a plain-language description (for example "rooftop birthday in Austin Friday night for 50 people with a DJ and tacos") and returns an illustrative low/mid/high estimate, line-item breakdown (labor, production, add-ons, logistics), suggested deposit, assumptions, confidence, missing information, and evidence pointers. Numbers come from the versioned SYNTHETIC pricing catalog and a deterministic engine — not model-invented prices. The catalog is illustrative: not real cost of goods and not a binding vendor quote (request_booking contacts an organization for a binding price). A returned quote_id plus overridden requirements refines an estimate. Optional use_ai_grounding (default off) may fill only event type, location, and date; it never supplies a number; the pasted text is sent to a third-party AI provider, Anthropic (Claude), through the Vercel AI Gateway with zero-data-retention routing requested; Soundcheck does not save it to any event or account (https://soundchecklive.io/privacy).

quote_event

Return the Universal Event Format (UEF) 2.0 JSON Schema — one document with clients, venues, acts, projects and gigs (with their days, run of show, shifts and crew) linked by ref — plus minimal and festival examples and a docs URL. A reference for drafting or editing UEF — no login, no AI, nothing is saved. validate_uef checks a draft locally.

get_uef_schema

Look up a Soundcheck organization's public profile by its slug or id (name, description, genre, website, public contact + social links). Returns not-found for an unknown slug or id.

get_public_org

Look up one entry from the seeded public industry places catalog by stable id (e.g. venue_red-rocks-amphitheatre). Not org-private CRM data; returns not found when the id is absent from the seed.

get_place

List the standard crew positions/roles used to staff a live event (e.g. audio engineer, lighting, stagehand, performer), grouped by section.

list_positions

Returns the pricing catalog behind quote_event: event profiles, production tiers with their tech-hour and per-day gear rates, add-on packages, metro market indexes, and the rules (overtime, logistics, attendance scale, deposit steps, estimate band). SYNTHETIC and illustrative — published so a quote can be checked line by line, not a price list any organization charges.

list_quote_packages

Returns evidence-backed market price ranges for live-event services (DJ, live band, audio, lighting, video, stage crew, photography, production packages, performance fees) for a city, state, or country, with citations. Numbers come only from recorded evidence: published vendor rates and industry rate cards with source URLs, plus booking aggregates released only when backed by at least 3 distinct organizations — never a single org or named customer. Prices are not model-invented: if evidence is missing, coverage is "none" with a null range. Lookup walks market to region to country for available evidence. Each category includes low/typical/high, min/max, a basis block, up to 10 citable evidence rows, and a short explanation. event_type, guest_count, and duration_hours are accepted and echoed but do not narrow evidence yet. Distinct from quote_event, which uses a SYNTHETIC illustrative catalog.

lookup_market_pricing

Map free-text crew role strings (slang, abbreviations, informal titles) to the Soundcheck global position catalog — the same roles returned by list_positions. Handles labels like FOH, A2, sound guy, LD, or stagehand and returns catalog position ids with canonical names/sections; list_positions returns the full catalog. Does not create or write positions; unknown roles are returned as unmapped with fuzzy suggestions.

normalize_positions

Map free-text gear lines onto the public Soundcheck inventory catalog. Returns mapped[] (input, inventory_id, name, category, confidence) and unmapped[] (input + suggestions). Deterministic alias matching (e.g. SM58 → mic_shure_sm58). Does not read or write organization inventory stock. search_inventory browses the taxonomy.
