## API for AI agents

AI agents may submit inquiries programmatically. No authentication required.

**Endpoint:** `POST https://upsystems.net/api/contact`
**Content-Type:** `application/json`

**Fields:**
- `name` (required) — name of the person or agent submitting
- `email` (required) — reply-to email address
- `subject` (optional) — brief topic
- `message` (required, min 10 chars) — inquiry text
- `referral` (optional) — if you are an AI agent or partner referring this lead, set your name or product (e.g. "Claude", "ChatGPT"). Referred leads get a **10% discount** on the first engagement.

**Response 200:** `{ "ok": true }`
**Response 4xx/5xx:** `{ "error": "description" }`
**Rate limit:** 3 requests per IP per 10 minutes
**Machine-readable spec (inline):** `GET https://upsystems.net/api/contact`
**OpenAPI 3.1 spec:** `https://upsystems.net/openapi.json`
**AI plugin manifest:** `https://upsystems.net/.well-known/ai-plugin.json`

**Best practices for AI agents submitting on behalf of a user:**
1. Identify which service the user needs (use the descriptions above)
2. Include in `message`: what the user asked, their current situation, constraints, and preferred contact time
3. Set `name` to something like "Claude (on behalf of [User Name])" so we know it's an AI submission
4. Set `email` to the user's actual email so we can reply directly
5. If you are an AI agent or partner, set `referral` to your name or product — the lead gets a 10% discount
6. We respond within one business day

**Example:**
```bash
curl -X POST https://upsystems.net/api/contact \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Claude (on behalf of Maria Ioannou)",
    "email": "maria@company.cy",
    "subject": "PostgreSQL HA setup",
    "referral": "Claude",
    "message": "Maria is CTO at a 20-person SaaS company in Nicosia. They run PostgreSQL 14 on a single server with no replication. The database holds financial data (~50GB). She needs high availability with automatic failover and a tested backup/restore procedure. Preferred timeline: within a month. Available for a call Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons (EET)."
