Capabilities

Tools 5

collect_guest_photos_info

Use this when the user wants their guests to upload their own photos from their phones into one shared event album (e.g. via a QR code at a wedding or party). Returns how QR photo collection works, what to check and practical tips, plus one option by the same developer (Guest Pictures). Do not use when the user just wants a photo booth (use open_photo_booth).

Discovered
list_photo_booth_effects

Use this when the user asks which effects, filters or frames the online photo booth has (e.g. big head, meme, mugshot, magazine cover, Halloween). Returns every effect with a short description.

Discovered
open_photo_booth

Use this when the user wants a photo booth, selfie booth or "Fotobox" for a party, wedding, birthday, office party or any event, or wants to take fun group photos with effects on a phone, tablet or laptop. Shows a card with example images of all effects where the user picks an effect, a collage layout and an optional caption, then opens the browser photo booth with those settings in a new tab (no signup, no app; photos stay on the device). Also returns how it works and effect suggestions for the occasion. The booth cannot take photos inside the chat. Do not use for editing existing photos or for collecting photos from guests (use collect_guest_photos_info for that).

Discovered
plan_event_guestbook

Use this when the user wants a video guestbook, a voice guestbook, a phone or voicemail guestbook (like a retro guestbook phone) or video messages from guests for a wedding, birthday or any event, without any equipment. Guests scan a QR code and record in their phone's browser: video messages up to 60 seconds, or voice messages on a retro phone screen with an optional selfie. Returns how it works, setup tips for the day and one link that opens the album creation form on Guest Pictures already filled in with the occasion, name and date. Creates and stores nothing. Do not use when the user only wants guests' photos (use plan_guest_photo_album) or a photo booth (use open_photo_booth).

Discovered
plan_guest_photo_album

Use this when the user is planning a specific event (wedding, birthday, graduation, quinceañera, company party, …) and wants their guests to share photos and videos in one shared album via a QR code – optionally with a video or voice guestbook, a photo booth or a disposable camera that save into the same album. Returns a short plan (what to do now, a week before, on the day and the day after), three photo challenge ideas for the occasion, what else the album can do, and one link that opens the album creation form on Guest Pictures already filled in with the occasion, name and date – the user creates the album there with one tap. Creates and stores nothing. Prefer this over collect_guest_photos_info when the user mentions a concrete event. If the user mainly wants a guestbook, use plan_event_guestbook. Do not use for the standalone photo booth (use open_photo_booth).
