The problem it solves

Energy bills often arrive as one big surprise at the end of the month, with no warning along the way. Checking your usage manually means logging into your utility account and doing the math yourself. You want to know what you're spending day to day, not after the bill lands.

Who it fits

Homeowners and small business owners on PG&E who want to catch high energy costs early.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the automation logs into your PG&E account
  2. It retrieves your daily energy usage and cost data
  3. The details are calculated into a daily summary
  4. The summary is emailed straight to your inbox
What you get

Energy cost spikes you catch same-day

You get a daily email summarizing your PG&E energy usage and cost, so nothing surprises you at the end of the month.

What you get

A daily email summarizing your energy usage and cost.

What you need

A PG&E account, an Airtop API key, and an email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
