# AI agents for utilities.

> Answer billing questions, take payments, register outages and manage service requests for electricity, water and gas customers, on every channel, around the clock.

## Where service gets stuck

- **Peaks after billing and outages** — Billing cycles and service interruptions trigger spikes that overwhelm contact centers and customer offices.
- **Repetitive billing questions** — Many interactions are about the same topics: amounts due, due dates and payment options.
- **Field visits to coordinate** — New connections, transfers and technical visits require back-and-forth scheduling.

## What your AI agent handles

- **Bill inquiries** — Explain amounts, due dates and consumption, pulled from your billing system.
- **Payments** — Generate payment links or QR codes inside the conversation and confirm the payment.
- **Outage reports and status** — Register outage reports and inform customers about known incidents.
- **Service requests** — Start, stop or transfer a service, update contact details and open requests.
- **Technical visits** — Book or reschedule technician visits.
- **Meter readings** — Collect meter readings reported by customers and record them in your systems.

## One agent on every channel

Configure the agent once and deploy it wherever your customers are.

- **Web chat** — A widget on your site and app that resolves requests and renders interactive components inside the conversation.
- **WhatsApp** — Customers get answers and complete tasks on the channel they already use every day.
- **Voice** — Real-time phone conversations with natural interruptions and a human-like voice, in 29+ languages.
- **Branch avatar** — A photorealistic MetaHuman on kiosks and branch screens for face-to-face self-service.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the agent handle outage peaks?

Yes. The agent answers conversations in parallel on chat, WhatsApp and voice, so demand spikes don't turn into queues.

### Which channel should we start with?

You can start with web chat, WhatsApp, voice or a branch avatar and add the other channels later with the same agent, knowledge base and rules.

### How does it connect to billing and field-service systems?

Through MCP (Model Context Protocol), using the tools and APIs you expose, with the permissions you define.
