Shopping for electricity in Texas can be a frustrating game of dodging gimmicks and confusing plans. At EnergyBot, we decided to build a better way. We want to empower our customers with cutting edge insights to help you navigate the energy shopping process easier. Instead of sifting through plans, get personalized answers in minutes with our new AI energy advisor: Ebie.
Ebie is the newest innovation available to EnergyBot customers, offering a simple solution to the tedious process of comparing energy companies. As an AI energy advisor, Ebie is designed to provide you with access to an energy expert at the tap of a button. You can use Ebie in our shopping flow to simplify the comparison process, guide you through plans and providers, and assist you when it comes time to choose the best plan for your home or business.
Best of all, Ebie can do more than just help you find the cheapest energy plan. By combing through all of our energy resources, compiled over years in the industry, Ebie can also help you sort through renewable energy plans and make bill predictions based on your monthly electricity consumption.
Traditional energy advisors, also known as energy brokers, are experts on the industry. They provide insight into the best plans for your home or business by maximizing potential benefits and pointing out risks before you're stuck in a long term contract.
Some energy experts may even provide services like energy efficiency audits and clean energy consulting to reduce your carbon footprint. While energy advisors typically do not offer technical services, they can help you reduce your energy consumption significantly and save on bills in a number of ways.
Most importantly an energy advisor should help support you in meeting your energy goals-- whatever they may be. Whether you are shopping for a big company with high energy usage or simply trying to find a plan that will help you save money with your electric vehicles, Ebie can help.
Unlike traditional energy advisors and professional brokers, Ebie offers assistance to homes and businesses for free with the use of AI technology.
Ebie was created using data from thousands of energy plans for millions of different types of energy utilization patterns to make personalized, data-backed recommendations for your specific energy consumption needs. Ebie can even connect to your home’s specific ESID meter through your utility company to pull actual energy usage data. That means you can rest assured Ebie's recommendations will fit your energy demands.
While Ebie is new, her expertise is not. By instantly analyzing years of EnergyBot data, including helping 1.2 million folks and 2000+ 5 star reviews, she combines deep energy industry knowledge with the speed and personalization that only AI can provide. Ebie does the heavy lifting, combing through thousands of plans instantly, while you can sit back and relax. Plus, Ebie is held to the same policies and guidelines as all other EnergyBot products– meaning your data is kept secure every step of the way.
As the first AI energy expert, Ebie can help customers shop for plans quicker, more efficiently, and in a more personalized manner, thanks to her knowledge from all the data on EnergyBot's website. You can review a comprehensive list of energy plans and electricity companies, as well as create an order, directly in your chat with Ebie.
Pro Tip: You can ask Ebie to focus on specialized energy plans, such as those with renewable energy sources in your utility service area or a specific term length, to ensure that you find the right energy company to help achieve your goals.
While some energy professionals might be looking to make commission, Ebie is entirely free to use and strictly focused on finding the best deal for your home or business. However, she still has all the benefits of an energy expert– taking into account the type of energy equipment in your home or company location, factoring in specific preferences like renewable energy, and working with providers on your behalf to find you the best deal!
Once you’ve selected between home and business in the EnergyBot shopping flow, you’ll be asked whether you’re switching energy providers or looking to set up a new service location. From there, you can choose between using an EnergyBot Advisor (AKA Ebie) and the standard view.
While the standard view allows you to see all of the available plans immediately, it can get a bit overwhelming to sort through all the energy companies. Even though EnergyBot works hard to label tricky programs and provide information on energy company ratings, you still run the risk of choosing a confusing plan.
You'll also have a harder time sorting through plans with more specific features, like reduced carbon emissions or high levels of energy consumption for businesses.
By selecting Ebie as your AI energy expert, you’ll be guided through the energy shopping process at your own pace– making it easy to follow. Even better, Ebie connects to your real energy usage data through your utility company and evaluates the options to ensure that you’re selecting the best plan. And, of course, if you have any questions along the way she’s there with all the answers and clearly defined terms of service.
Not all electricity plans are created equally. By pulling your real energy data Ebie can calculate your actual hourly usage to determine if special or “discounted” plans are actually in your best interest. For example, while Free Nights and Weekend plans often sound like a great idea, research shows that for most folks they end up costing an average of 30% more each month.
By allowing Ebie to pull your energy usage via ESID you can rest assured that you’re getting the best rate overall. Ebie is trained to have your best interest at heart at all times, meaning that she won’t ever share your data outside of EnergyBot.
Note: These are not real plans, they are for demonstration purposes only.
