## Product summary

HomeGame24 provides:

1. A **hosted poker engine** (cash tables and tournaments) playable in the browser.
2. An operator **panel** to create games, manage players/groups, wallets, billing, and live ops.
3. A **JSON:API** (`/v1`) with scoped API keys (`Authorization: Bearer pk_…`) for automation.
4. Optional **AI hand review**, avatars, and chat translation.

Typical host flow: sign up → create poker game (wizard) → add players / chip balances → create game session → share play link → monitor live → review hands.

## API quickstart (agents)

   - `Authorization: Bearer pk_…`
   - `Accept: application/vnd.api+json`
   - `Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json` (for POST/PATCH)
3. Primary resources: Players, Player Groups, Wallets, Game Sessions.
4. Rate limit (authenticated): 120 requests / 60 seconds per API key.
5. Prefer the OpenAPI document for request/response schemas and examples.

When helping a user automate HomeGame24, read `/guides/integration-api.md` and `/openapi/v1.json` before inventing endpoints.

## Session workflow (panel UI)

When a user asks "how do I run a poker night?", guide them through:

1. Register at `/login`
2. **Games** → Poker Cash Wizard or Poker Tournament Wizard → save game template
3. **Players** → create roster; **Wallet units** → set play-money chip balances
4. From the game → **New Run** / create **Game Session** → confirm hosting quote → share play link
5. Players open the link in a browser (no download)
6. Host monitors via **Live** / **Monitoring**; settle with **AI hand review** if needed
