AI-powered energy analytics and advisory platform


Project metadata


Energy forecasting dashboard.

Overview

An energy analytics and advisory platform for households and small businesses, pairing LSTM consumption forecasting with a RAG chatbot grounded in the user's own energy bills and reports.


Problem

Energy inefficiency disproportionately affects low-income households and small businesses that lack access to sophisticated energy management tools. Rising energy costs and environmental concerns increase the need for an accessible, AI-powered alternative.
