A GUIDED ALEXA+ SIMULATION

Can we still make
lunch happen?

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.

THE ALEXA+ CONVERSATION — SIMULATED

You ask. A plan is suggested.

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.
