You’re planning lunch for 24 neighbors at 11 AM. A helper cancels. You have less money. What should change?
Where is Alexa? This web demo stands in for a conversation with Alexa+. Click a sample request instead of speaking to a device. The replies use preset commands and a rule-checking planner. Alexa is not connected.
THE PLAN BEFORE ANYTHING CHANGES
Three jobs. Three helpers.
Maya welcomes guests at 11 AM.
Jordan sets up tables and a few chairs away from the noise at 10:30 AM. Anyone can sit there for a break from the crowd.
Sam puts out cards showing what is in each dish, then serves lunch at 11 AM.
Leila is a backup helper who can welcome guests or set up tables.
THE RULES — THINGS A NEW PLAN MUST RESPECT
Save money. Keep the welcome.
Stay within the supply budget.
Give each job to someone who knows how to do it.
Use times when that helper is available. Don’t give them two jobs at the same time.
Keep help for guests entering without stairs, a few chairs away from the noise, and cards showing what is in each dish.
These are called constraints: rules the planner must follow. This example cannot check a real venue’s accessibility or food safety.
YOUR NEXT STEP
First, something goes wrong.
Maya cannot come. Your supply budget drops from $80 to $30. Click below to tell the Alexa+ demo.
In a future Alexa+ integration, you would say the request to Alexa. Here, the buttons send it to the working planner. No Alexa account or device is connected.
Try another supported request
Try “Are we ready?”, “Budget is $10”, or “Leila cannot attend”. This demo supports these kinds of changes, not every possible question.

YOUR CURRENT PLAN
Who is doing what?
A suggested fix does not change this plan until you choose it.
WHY THESE FIXES WORK
A new plan that follows the rules.
Choosing a plan means you approve it. Helpers still need to say yes to their new jobs.
LAST STEP — PEOPLE STILL GET A SAY
A plan is approved. Is everyone in?
In real life, you would ask the helpers to accept their new jobs. Here, use pretend replies to see what happens. No messages are sent and no real consent is verified.
THE RESULT
Lunch has a complete, agreed plan in this example.
You reported the changes. The planner checked the rules. You chose a fix. Then the helpers’ pretend replies confirmed their jobs.
