BillGuard: Analyze and understand your high bills with intelligent insights

Product Details
This agent talks with residential customers about high utility bills, analyzes their consumption data, and identifies likely causes. When a customer raises a concern, the request is routed to the High Bill Analyzer Agent, which asks targeted questions to understand the situation.
The agent combines hourly consumption data with external weather information and known system anomalies, looking for correlations and unusual patterns. It then explains the probable causes, such as HVAC inefficiency, extended AC or pool pump runtime, heavier use during peak hours, or changes in appliance efficiency. By diagnosing billing anomalies on its own, it eliminates up to 25 percent of unnecessary field visits for utilities in the resources sector. The agent runs on BigQuery and a Weather API.
