AI agent for preschool teachers
Classroom Supply and Craft Material Agent
Every planned activity has its materials and the weekly spend stays within budget.
What it does
Craft day arrives and the glue sticks are gone, or the month's budget is spent by week two. This agent reads the week's plans, checks your stock and budget, and builds a shopping list with cheaper options. When an item is unavailable, it adjusts the plan, for example swapping a painting activity if paint is out of stock. It rechecks the total against budget and rechecks the plan after each swap. Edge case: a seasonal item is out of stock everywhere, so the agent replaces the activity with one using what you have. The teacher approves the order.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides
It buys the cheapest option that meets the activity's needs and changes the activity when a supply is unavailable or over budget.
- Stay within the weekly budget set by the teacher.
- Use stock before buying new.
- Choose lower-cost options if they meet the activity needs.
- Reorder when stock falls below 20% of weekly use.
