What it does

Built for how utilities actually field calls.

Outage reporting and triage

AI takes hundreds of outage calls in parallel, geo-clusters incidents, and pushes verified events to your OMS. Customers hear an actual ETA, not a busy signal.

Service connection and disconnection intake

Move-in, move-out, account transfers. AI captures address, meter details, and schedules the field visit, syncing directly to your CIS.

Billing and payment inquiries

AI pulls the current bill, explains line items, accepts payment over the phone, and sets up payment plans within your approved policies.

Meter and site appointment scheduling

AI checks technician availability, books the window, and sends SMS reminders. Reschedules when customers call back, no queue escalation needed.

Renewable energy quote intake

For solar, heat pump, or EV charger inquiries, AI captures roof details, consumption estimates, and books the site survey with the right team.

Multilingual customer support

Utility service areas are diverse. AI speaks 100+ languages, so every customer reaches service in their native tongue without a translation line.

Why now

Regulated, event-driven, and customer-sensitive all at once.

Outage calls spike 10x in seconds

AI scales horizontally. Storm-night volume is handled in parallel, not queued behind a 90-minute wait.

Deregulated markets reward speed

First-to-answer wins the switching customer. AI responds before the call goes to voicemail.

Billing questions eat CSR time

AI pulls the bill, explains charges, takes payment, and sets up plans. CSRs move to dispute resolution.

Renewable leads go stale

Solar, heat pump, EV charger inquiries routed in seconds with site details already captured for the survey team.

How it works

From first ring to CIS record.

01

Customer calls

AI picks up instantly, identifies the account, and classifies intent: outage, billing, service change, or new connection.

02

AI resolves or routes

Billing explained, payment taken, appointment booked, outage logged. Safety or complex cases transfer to CSR with full brief.

03

Systems updated

CIS updated, OMS event posted, SMS confirmation sent. Customer hears resolution and ETA, not hold music.

Choice architecture

What you get from us

Your partner, not just a tool.

Every utility has its own rate design, service territory, and compliance posture. We build around yours and walk through regulator review with you.

Week 1

Discovery and configuration

We map your rate schedules, service catalog, OMS integration points, safety scripts, and regulator-required disclosures.

Week 2

Build and test

We build your AI, connect it to your CIS and OMS, and run test calls including storm-surge stress scenarios. You review before UAT.

Ongoing

Weekly calibration

Your account manager reviews transcripts weekly, updates the agent as rates and tariffs change, and flags any compliance concern for your review.

Integrations

Plugs into the CIS, OMS, and MDM you already run.

Enhanced handoff

How the handoff works.

When a caller reports a safety-critical event or needs a CSR, AI does not just transfer. It briefs them first.

Customer calls
Is this a safety/outage emergency?
No
AI handles it

Billing, transfers, appointments, routine outage logging. Writes to CIS/OMS.

Yes
AI briefs the CSR or dispatcher
·Account and service address
·Event type, symptoms, urgency
·Safety guidance already issued
CSR picks up

No repeating. AI stays on to log disposition afterwards.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Yes. AI answers thousands of outage calls in parallel, captures service address and symptoms, geo-clusters reports, and pushes verified incidents to your OMS. Customers hear a real ETA instead of busy tones, and your dispatch team works off consolidated event data.
AI is configured to recognize safety-critical keywords and escalate immediately to your emergency line with full context. The caller is kept on the line, guidance is given per your safety script, and the handoff is instant, not queued.
Most utility deployments go live in about four to six weeks given regulatory review and CIS/OMS integration scope. Week 1 and 2 are discovery and configuration. Weeks 3 to 4 are build, test, and integration. Weeks 5 to 6 are UAT, compliance review, and go-live.
AI handles routine: outage intake, billing inquiries, appointments, service transfers. For complex billing disputes, safety-critical events, or escalations beyond policy, AI transfers to your CSR and briefs them with full account context, call history, and captured intent.
Yes. We support GDPR in EU deployments and can configure regional data residency, recording policies, and PII handling to match your regulator's requirements. Call recording, retention, and transcript access are controlled per your compliance policy.
