## 1. Description of Service

SketchMonkey is an agentic AI-driven industrial design, concept rendering, and creative operating system. The Service allows users to:
- Formulate and refine design briefs through five distinct creative lenses: Maya (Pragmatic/Ergonomic), Ren (Braun/Rams Minimalist), Zola (Avant-Garde/Brutalist), Kai (Futuristic/Commercial), and Nova (Biomimetic/Organic).
- Generate high-fidelity concept imagery, CMF (Color, Material, Finish) specifications, and Google Veo 3.1 video turnarounds.
- Author multi-format campaigns and typography-layered posters with 300 DPI export capabilities.
- Integrate automated workflows via the Model Context Protocol (`/api/mcp`) and ChatGPT Plugin (`/api/gpt/*`).
- Conduct autonomous pay-per-call compute settlements via the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP HTTP 402).
