What MEGA.AI does for utilities

MEGA.AI provides deterministic voice AI for energy and water providers. It handles the customer journey from failed direct debits, bill shock and price change calls to Priority Services Register support, vulnerability, billing disputes and collections, with affordability and payment plans in development. The agent speaks only wording and rules the provider has approved, so every response traces back to approved logic and can be evidenced to Ofgem or Ofwat.

Evidence for the regulator

Every response traces back to approved logic, so you can show exactly what was said, to whom and why.

Integration as you scale

Billing, CRM, payment and dialler infrastructure, connected step by step from the first journey.

Why deterministic matters in utilities

Vulnerable customers. Essential services. Zero room to improvise.

In utilities, a wrong word to a vulnerable customer is not a UX problem. It is a compliance problem.

Ofgem and Ofwat in the UK, and public utility commissions across the US, leave no room for automation that improvises. MEGA.AI cannot generate an unapproved response, so you know exactly what was said, to whom and why.

Control
Only approved content is spoken.
Fair treatment
Same standard for every customer.
Predictability
Same recognised input, same approved path.
Auditability
Every response traces to approved logic.

FAQ

Utility questions, answered.

Can MEGA.AI help with the Priority Services Register?

Yes. It recognises customers who may need extra support, captures their needs in approved wording and passes them to your team, who handle consent and the Priority Services Register registration.

Can it call customers after a failed direct debit?

Yes. It calls customers as soon as you pass on a failed payment or another change, not weeks later, and offers approved options, including payment in the call.

How does it treat vulnerable customers in collections?

It recognises vulnerability signals and routes the customer to support, including passing Priority Services Register needs to your team, using only approved responses.

Can it run affordability assessments?

Not yet in live journeys. SFS-compliant income and expenditure with IE Hub launches through ELLIE in Q4 2026. Today the agent records a promise to pay and signposts benefit checks as you approve.

What evidence does a utility get for Ofgem or Ofwat?

Every response traces back to approved logic, so you can show exactly what was said, to whom and why.

Does it handle billing disputes?

Yes. It captures the query and passes the details to your billing team, in your call outcome report or, once connected, directly in your billing or CRM system.
