The Advisable Planners project sought to make AI planning technology more accessible and controllable through the metaphor of advisability. User-provided advice specifies characteristics for both the desired solution and the problem-solving process to be employed during plan generation. Such advice is specified in a high-level language that is natural and intuitive for users, then operationalized into constraints that direct the underlying planning technology.
