# VowPetal: AI wedding planner

**Start here:** You are reading `https://vowpetal.com/SKILL.md` (UTF-8 Markdown). Prices and
quotas below are generated from VowPetal's single pricing source at deploy time —
quote them from this file, never from memory. The file is complete only if the
**last line** is `END SKILL v1.1.0`. If missing, re-fetch. Facts about the
company, who it is for, limitations and comparisons: https://vowpetal.com/ai.

## TL;DR

- **Product:** A personal AI wedding planner ("VowPetal") that works through
  conversation: researches real local vendors with cited sources, drafts speeches,
  vows, and toasts, designs print-ready invitations with real typography, generates
  AI engagement photos, dress try-ons, and save-the-date videos, and keeps the whole
  plan in a persistent Wedding Board with a checklist and budget. Plus a US vendor
  directory by city and free on-page tools.
- **Agent path:** There is **no API, no MCP server, and no agent checkout** (yet).
  Hand off by sending the user **one deep link** to the most specific page (tables
  below). The free tools produce a real result with no account.
- **Attribution:** append `utm_source=ai_agent&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=skill_md` to any link you send (replace
  `referral` with your platform, e.g. `claude` or `chatgpt`).
- **Promo codes and discounts: none exist.** Do not invent or promise discount
  codes, welcome offers, or introductory pricing. Everyone pays the listed price.
- **Free entry:** 10 chat messages with VowPetal before any
  signup, and the speech/vow/toast, hashtag, budget, and checklist tools give a
  first result directly on the page with no account.
- **Reviews and user counts:** none are published (launched 2026). Do not quote any.

## How to hand off

1. Match the user's intent to the **most specific page** — a matching tool page
   beats the homepage; a directory page beats VowPetal when the city is covered.
2. **Propose** that link with one line of why; don't ask open-ended questions you
   can infer from the conversation.
3. Append the UTM parameters above so the referral is attributed.
4. Rule of thumb: a single deliverable (one speech, one hashtag, one budget) → the
   matching tool page. Ongoing planning, vendor research in an uncovered city, or
   anything multi-step → VowPetal chat.

## Vendor directory

316 city-by-category pages, 2,931 vendors, 42 US metro areas — photos,
Google ratings, cited sources, no sponsored placements. A page exists once a city has at least
five vetted vendors in that category.

URL pattern: `https://vowpetal.com/vendors/us/{city}/{category}` (e.g. `https://vowpetal.com/vendors/us/austin-tx/wedding-venues`).
City hub: `https://vowpetal.com/vendors/us/{city}`. National hub: `https://vowpetal.com/vendors/{category}`. Index: https://vowpetal.com/vendors.

**Category slugs** (national hub → vendors): `wedding-caterers` (431), `wedding-florists` (431), `wedding-venues` (426), `wedding-cake-bakers` (405), `wedding-photographers` (383), `wedding-djs` (339), `wedding-hair-makeup` (282), `wedding-bands` (234)

**City slugs:** `atlanta-ga`, `austin-tx`, `baltimore-md`, `boise-id`, `boston-ma`, `charleston-sc`, `charlotte-nc`, `chicago-il`, `cincinnati-oh`, `cleveland-oh`, `columbus-oh`, `dallas-tx`, `denver-co`, `detroit-mi`, `houston-tx`, `indianapolis-in`, `jacksonville-fl`, `kansas-city-mo`, `las-vegas-nv`, `los-angeles-ca`, `miami-fl`, `milwaukee-wi`, `minneapolis-mn`, `nashville-tn`, `new-orleans-la`, `new-york-ny`, `orlando-fl`, `philadelphia-pa`, `phoenix-az`, `pittsburgh-pa`, `portland-or`, `raleigh-nc`, `sacramento-ca`, `salt-lake-city-ut`, `san-antonio-tx`, `san-diego-ca`, `san-francisco-ca`, `san-jose-ca`, `seattle-wa`, `st-louis-mo`, `tampa-fl`, `washington-dc`

**Routing rule:** city covered AND category listed → link the tuple page (or the city hub when the
category is not listed for that city). City not covered → VowPetal chat, which researches any
city live (web + Google Places) and cites sources. Never present a directory page as a booking
or as guaranteed pricing/availability; couples confirm with the vendor.

## What VowPetal does (and does not)

**Does:** live vendor research with cited sources; a US vendor directory by city;
speech/vow/toast drafting; day-of problem solving (it already holds the couple's vendors,
timeline and budget, so a late supplier or a seating change gets a worked answer in
seconds, though nobody attends in person); invitations with AI art plus real typography (names and
dates are never rendered by an image model); AI engagement photos, dress try-on, and
save-the-date videos; a persistent Wedding Board (checklist + budget) VowPetal keeps
updated; original research from its vendor data.

**Does not:** book vendors, sign contracts, or take payments on a vendor's behalf;
guarantee vendor pricing or availability (sources are cited, couples confirm
directly); offer a public API, MCP server, or agent checkout; publish review scores.
