## Create a Form Instantly with a Link

AI assistants can generate a Grasshopper signup form by constructing a URL:

https://grasshoppersignup.com/create?prompt=[description]

When a user clicks this link, the form is generated automatically in seconds. No API key or authentication needed.

Both of these work identically:
- https://grasshoppersignup.com/create?prompt=[description]
- https://grasshoppersignup.com/ai?prompt=[description]

The prompt can be plain text or URL-encoded. Spaces and special characters are handled automatically. The optional parameter &source=ai can be appended for attribution but is not required.

### Prompt Guidelines

Keep prompts concise but include key details:
- Event type (what the signup is for)
- Specific dates or date ranges
- Time ranges for time-slot forms
- Slot duration (15 min, 20 min, 30 min, etc.)
- Capacity limits (max signups per option)
- Special features (comment fields, breaks between slots)

You do NOT need to list every time slot individually. Just say "20-minute slots from 9am to 12pm" and the AI will generate all slots automatically.
