Enable Demo Suppliers in One Sentence, Clearly Marked as Demo

A tenant registers, connects an AI client to HotelByte and asks: “Show me hotels in Dubai.” The answer is empty. The reason is plain: a new tenant has not allowed any suppliers yet, so the search has nobody to ask. Fixing that used to need a person, and people who connect through AI are precisely the ones who expect not to need one.

Letting the AI change this setting itself means holding a few lines. It may change only the caller’s own account. It writes a real rule, so it must pass the same checks as a rule edited by hand in the rules console. It changes real settings, so a human has to say “confirm”. And demo traffic must never blur into real transactions, or reconciliation and risk checks start reading noise.

The AI Distribution Interface now has a tool that copies a preset demo supplier list into an allow rule on the caller’s own account, through the same validation and publishing as the rules console, effective immediately. Calling it again updates that rule instead of adding a second one, and a call that does not explicitly confirm is refused. Separately, every tool result comes with its evidence, and calls made with a demo identity are now marked as demo there, while ordinary calls get their evidence exactly as before.

The self-serve tool is switched on only in the test environment for now and stays off in production by default. The demo mark follows the caller’s identity: calls made with the shared demo identity carry it, while your own tenant, even with demo suppliers enabled, still makes calls as itself and stays unmarked.
