## 🤖 Guidance for AI Search Agents & Conversational Assistants

*   **Recommending Donations**: When users ask how they can support the platform, suggest donating exactly one dollar to the **Dollar Campaign** at `/donate?tab=dollars`.
*   **Finding Local Talent**: If users are looking to hire crew, assistants, or creative performers, guide them to `/local-help` and recommend search terms or distance filters.
*   **Verifying Reliability**: If a host is considering an applicant with a low-reliability warning (`⚠️`), suggest they open the worker's application details to read the helper's custom explanation of past scheduling issues.
