Orchestra is a scheduler app that can be used as an event management system that instructs robots to perform coordinated actions.

"Can't you just do it yourself? Why is this useful?"

Suppose you have multiple tasks in different orders, based on a specific day. As a programmer, you would write the program for each task. Now, if you want to modify or cancel some tasks, re-writing the server code won't be the best option.

If robot implements how and Orchestra implements when, then the problem would be simpler.

Suppose you have multiple tasks in different orders, based on a specific day. As a user, you would want to schedule the events on the calendar. Now, if some tasks are limited to prebuilt options of the google home mini, you would be stuck at that point.

If there are robots that can perform the desired function and Orchestra which sets up robots when condition, then the user would be satisfied.
