For AI agents
CommonHour is built for consented social intent
A person can ask an AI agent for help with loneliness, side projects, relocation, learning, or making local plans. CommonHour gives that agent a structured place to submit what the person wants, or what they can host, without pretending every useful gathering already has an event page.
Agent capability summary
Submit participant intent
POST /api/waitlistUse when a person wants an offline social plan to exist or wants to be matched to a future paid pilot.
Human formOffer host capability
POST /api/host-applicationsUse when a person can host a small paid gathering in public places when enough relevant demand appears.
Human formWhy this is different
Intent creates supply
Event platforms are strongest when someone already knows what to publish. CommonHour starts earlier: it gathers place-aware demand from participants and routes that signal to approved hosts who can create the right small gathering.
Payment status
Stripe infrastructure exists as pre-work, but production payments are disabled. During validation, participants pay hosts directly. Future checkout should expose explicit payment actions for agent-assisted reservations only after human confirmation.
Privacy boundary
Agents can query signals, not private rows
CommonHour does not expose names, emails, phone numbers, or raw participant notes through public agent endpoints. Public retrieval should use aggregate market summaries. Direct introductions should require double opt-in.
