Starting point

What utilities check with AI services

Customer enquiries, grid knowledge and reporting keep growing. The question is which AI service fits the supply chain and unbundling rules.

  • NIS2 supply chain

    Section 30 BSIG requires supply chain security and multi-factor sign-in. Every AI service belongs in this assessment.

  • Informational unbundling

    Section 6a EnWG requires sensitive grid information to be kept confidential internally. An AI service must be able to separate grid and sales.

  • Grid knowledge is retiring

    Experienced grid and operations staff leave, and their knowledge sits in instructions and incident reports.

  • Private accounts in customer service

    Without an approved solution, customer data and meter readings end up in private AI accounts.

Use cases

AI at utilities: customer service, grid, boards

The AI delivers drafts and sources. Review and approval stay with you.

Prepare customer replies

Today

Questions about instalments, moves and meter readings are looked up and worded one by one.

With the AI platform

Customer service pastes the enquiry into the chat and gets a draft from the process manual and text modules. Sending happens from your system.

Secure grid knowledge

Today

Experience with installations and outages sits in heads and scattered reports.

With the AI platform

Operating instructions, incident reports and dictated handover notes become a knowledge base, visible only to the grid group.

Papers for supervisory board and committee

Today

Board papers are assembled from reports from scratch every time.

With the AI platform

Upload a report and the AI summarises key points and drafts the paper in the style of earlier ones.

What it looks like

The platform in your team's daily work

Open WebUI in the browser, with models operated in Germany by German providers. Stops from your work, plus web search and your own knowledge base.

Full walkthrough
  1. 01Process knowledge

    Ask the process manual, get an answer with the source

    Store process descriptions, text modules and tariff sheets. Customer service asks in everyday language and every answer names document and section.

    • Sources
    • Reranking
    • Access per group
  2. 02Board papers

    Upload a report, get a supervisory board paper

    Upload a quarterly or project report as PDF or Excel. The AI summarises key points and drafts the paper in the style of earlier ones.

    • PDF
    • Word
    • Excel
    • PowerPoint
  3. 03Permissions per division

    Grid and sales with separate knowledge bases

    Groups per division set who sees which knowledge base. Grid documents stay reserved for the grid group, with SSO and multi-factor sign-in.

    • SSO
    • Groups
    • Usage analytics
  4. 04Web search

    Research regulation and duties, with sources

    For requirements from the regulator, the BSI and legislators, grid or sales teams switch on web search. The answer links its sources, and customer and grid data stay in the instance.

    • Web search
    • Attach web page
    • Can be disabled per group
  5. 05Create a knowledge base

    Your own documents as a knowledge base, called up with # in the chat

    Create a knowledge base, upload files, sync whole folders or add web pages and text. In the chat, a # brings in the collection and the answer cites its source.

    • Collections
    • Folder sync
    • Access per group

NIS2 and EnWG

A contract chain in which every link is bound

Reviews & projects

What clients say about working with us

From local AI integration to architecture, data sovereignty and ongoing operations.

WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
