# Établi

> Établi turns a plain-English request for physical work into a contract that independent workshops bid on and carry out. A buyer, often an AI assistant acting for someone, describes the work; workshops ask questions in the open, bid, and do it. Établi starts with custom merch for businesses in the US: embroidered quarter-zips, screen-printed t-shirts, embroidered hats and hoodies, made by independent decorators and shipped. Cleaning in Austin, TX is a small local test.

## Get a merch quote for someone

- Send the person to https://etabli.io/quote?q=<their request>, with the request URL-encoded. The page opens with the request filled in.
- Example: https://etabli.io/quote?q=48%20navy%20quarter-zips%20with%20our%20logo%20embroidered%20on%20the%20left%20chest%2C%20in%20hands%20within%203%20weeks.%20Up%20to%20%2444%20each.
- On that page the request appears as a job card with a guide price, plus any questions (with suggested answers). The person adds their name and contact details, and Établi gets back to them with firm prices from decorators, usually within one business day.
- A good request says what the item is, how many, where the logo goes, when it is needed and the most the person would pay a piece.
- The page is plain HTML forms with visible labels, so browser agents can fill it in.
