Kitchen Table Lab — The AI Team
A sore knee belongs with the doctor, not the baker. AI works the same way: pick the right helpers, put them in the right order, and let them confer. Welcome to the AI Team.
The trilogy
Three steps: pick, sequence and confer. Start with Helper picker. The round table is ready. The assembly line follows!
-
1. PickHelper picker
Sore knee? See the doctor, not the baker. Fifteen jobs, five helpers. Pick who gets the question.

2. OrderThe assembly line
Spreading bread, the slide, planting a seed: first this, then that. Put the steps in the right order on the belt.
Safe & private: tapping and dragging in this tab; nothing is stored.

3. ConferThe round table
What are we eating? Giggles wants pancakes, Sleuth broccoli, and Poet soup with stars. Let them confer. You pick, or you mix.
Safe & private: fixed answers in the page; no live chat.

How to use them
- Play together: Start with Helper picker. Let your toddler point or tap, and let your preschooler explain why.
- Keep it short: Stop after five questions if attention fades. On The round table you may stop after three.
- Talk it through: Say aloud that not every helper can do everything, and that conferring gives more voices than one winner.
Why a team?
A computer has no magic all-knowing ball. It simply sends a question to the helper that is best at it. At home you do the same: you ask a toddler something different from a preschooler.
- Helper picker teaches picking (routing).
- The assembly line teaches sequence (pipeline).
- The round table teaches conferring (orchestration).
Where does this fit?
This lab belongs with my blog post on multi-agent orchestration: why you do not ask your toddler and preschooler the same question at home.
