Soundcheck Live Event Quotes

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).

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.

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.

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.

Return the Universal Event Format (UEF) JSON Schema for EVENT imports (schema_version 1.0), plus minimal and festival-style 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.

Validate a UEF document (object or JSON string) against the public EVENT-focused rules: required target_type and events[].title / events[].event_date (YYYY-MM-DD), structural checks for source/venue/customer/members, and schema_version 1.0 alignment. Returns valid, errors (error|warning), missing_required catalog paths, and schema_version. Deterministic local workbook — no AI, no org write, no invented fixes. Input is capped at 256 KiB for both object and string forms.

Search a seeded public industry catalog of well-known venues and hotels (not a complete world database; not org-private Soundcheck venues).

Search the public Soundcheck live-event gear taxonomy (microphones, DI boxes, consoles, movers, cables, stands, backline, wireless, etc.). Optional query filters by name, alias, id, or category.

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.

Send a booking / staffing request, including the requester's name, email, and optional phone, to a Soundcheck organization, which creates a lead its team follows up on. Requires organization_id, name, email, event_date, event_type, and location. User confirmation: nothing is sent until the person confirms by email: the call only emails a confirmation link to the address given, and the request reaches the organization after that person opens the email and clicks Confirm.

Send feedback to the Soundcheck team, the people who build Soundcheck (not the user's organization, crew, or clients). It carries bug reports, feature suggestions, support questions, and praise, plus problems with these tools that the user agreed to report, and contains only what the user asked or agreed to send. It emails the team; it does not message anyone in the user's organization (the messaging tools do that). No sign-in needed. Add the user's email only if they want a reply.
