| 3 | ## Step 1 — Gather context |
| 4 | |
| 5 | If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | 1. **What are you trying to do?** |
| 8 | - A) Set up AdGlare to serve display ads on my website |
| 9 | - B) Serve native ads via JSON endpoint |
| 10 | - C) Set up VAST video or CTV ad serving |
| 11 | - D) Automate campaign management via the API |
| 12 | - E) Compare AdGlare to other ad servers |
| 13 | |
| 14 | 2. **Your role?** |
| 15 | - A) Publisher (monetizing my own site/app) |
| 16 | - B) Advertiser (placing ads on publisher sites) |
| 17 | - C) Ad agency (managing multiple clients) |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 3. **Current plan**: Lite (€99/mo), Professional (€499/mo), or Enterprise (€649/mo)? |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ## Step 2 — Route or answer directly |
| 24 | |
| 25 | | If the question is about... | Route to... | |
| 26 | |---|---| |
| 27 | | Email newsletter ad serving | AdGlare has NO email zones. Use `/sales-adbutler`, `/sales-adspeed`, or `/sales-revive` | |
| 28 | | Newsletter monetization strategy | `/sales-newsletter [question]` | |
| 29 | | Programmatic RTB exchange | `/sales-epom [question]` | |
| 30 | | Self-hosted free ad server | `/sales-revive [question]` | |
| 31 | | API-first custom ad platform | `/sales-kevel [question]` | |
| 32 | |
| 33 | If the question is AdGlare-specific, continue to Step 3. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ## Step 3 — AdGlare platform reference |
| 36 | |
| 37 | **Read `references/platform-guide.md`** for the full platform reference — capabilities, pricing, zone types, API overview, integration recipes, code examples. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | ## Step 4 — Actionable guidance |
| 42 | |
| 43 | Focus on the user's specific situation: |
| 44 | |
| 45 | - **Publisher getting started**: Create a workspace, set up zones (display/native/VAST/redirect/catalog), create campaigns with targeting rules, link creatives to campaigns, get the ad tag or JSON endpoint, paste into your site template. |
| 46 | - **Native ads**: Create a native zone, fetch JSON from the zone endpoint, render with your own HTML template. Response includes title, description, image, CTA fields. |
| 47 | - **Video ads**: Create a VAST zone, get the VAST tag URL, configure your video player (JW Player, Video.js, etc.) to use it as a pre/mid/post-roll source. |
| 48 | - **API automation**: Enterprise/Custom plan required (€649/mo+) for the Management API. Bearer token auth (`Authorization: Bearer {api_key}`, keys from Settings => API Keys), base URL `https://{name}.api.adglare.app/v2`. CRUD on workspaces, campaigns, zones, advertisers, folders. Note: campaign create is minimal (name, folder_id, ad_format) then configure pricing/pacing/delivery via PUT; creatives are nested under `/campaigns/{id}/creatives`. Pricing models are CPM/CPC (no CPA); pacing is an object (event/period/speed/value), not an `even`/`asap` string. |
| 49 | - **Choosing AdGlare vs alternatives**: AdGlare is best for publishers needing a premium hosted ad server with display, native, and video support, cookieless by design. For email newsletter ads, use AdButler or AdSpeed. For self-hosted free, use Revive. For API-first custom builds, use Kevel. |

| 51 | If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in `references/learnings.md`, append it there. |

| 53 | ## Gotchas |
| 54 | |
| 55 | > *Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features that may be outdated.* |
| 56 | |
| 57 | 1. **No email newsletter zones** — AdGlare supports display, native, VAST, redirect, and catalog zones only. If you need email ad serving, use AdButler, AdSpeed, Broadstreet, or Revive Adserver instead. |
| 58 | 2. **Management API is Enterprise/Custom only (€649/mo+)** — the REST Management/Reporting/Decision APIs are not available on Lite (€99) or Professional (€499). (A JavaScript display-ad API/ad tag works on all plans.) Need full API on a budget? Consider AdSpeed (API on all plans) or Epom (API from $250/mo). API keys are created in Settings => API Ke |
