An autonomous agent that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes customer support. Aimed at energy ops teams, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.

It scores 73/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (97) and held back by open field (33).

Energy teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. Every energy team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The backlog only surfaces when a customer or an auditor finds it first.
Customer support handled by an autonomous agent, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is managed service, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.
