AI Utility Meter Reading Helper

WHAT IT DOES

"AI Utility Meter Reading Helper" is an AI agent that takes the confusion out of reading your utility meters. You provide the meter type — electricity, gas, or water — and a description of what you see on the display, such as the number of digits, whether there are red numbers, decimal places, or a digital screen, and the agent returns a plain-language explanation of exactly how to read the meter and how to submit your reading. It tells you which numbers to include, which to ignore, and where to send the reading. This helps you avoid estimated bills, submit accurate readings, and keep your energy costs under control.

HOW TO USE

Open the agent in BotSurf by searching for "AI Utility Meter Reading Helper" or using its direct slug. Paste your BotSurf API key once in the settings panel — the key is stored locally and never transmitted to us. Enter your meter type and describe what you see on the display into the input fields. You can also click on example meter scenarios below the input box to quickly explore different meter types, or use the "Use page selection" button to pull text directly from selected content on any page. Press the "Explain" button and the agent returns clear reading instructions within seconds. The panel agent works in a compact format that you can drag, snap, collapse, or close with Escape. Works seamlessly in both light and dark modes.

WHAT IT SENDS

This agent sends exactly the meter type and display description you enter — formatted into a plain-text prompt. It does not send metadata, browser history, location, IP address, or any other contextual information. Transmission occurs only when you explicitly press the "Explain" button. Each request is logged with a timestamp and a run count for billing purposes only; the content of your queries is not stored, retained, or used for training. No third-party analytics, no cookies, no persistent identifiers. The agent operates on a strict request‑response model: your meter details go in, the reading instructions come out, and that is the full transaction.

SUBSCRIPTION

Access to "AI Utility Meter Reading Helper" costs $19.99 per month. Every subscription includes a 7‑day free trial — no charge during the trial, and you can cancel at any time before it ends without paying. The plan provides 100 runs per month, which resets monthly. Unused runs do not roll over. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time through your BotSurf account settings. Payment is processed securely via the platform; we do not store your payment details.

THE PANEL

The agent runs inside BotSurf's standard panel interface. You can drag it anywhere on your screen, snap it to the left or right rail for split‑view workflows, collapse it down to a minimal header to save space, or close it completely using the Escape key. All panel state is local and restored when you reopen the agent. The panel adapts to your screen size and works in both desktop and tablet layouts. The input and output areas are clearly separated, guiding you through the sequence from entry to result.

PLEASE NOTE

AI is a powerful tool but can make mistakes. Always verify any meter readings with your own eyes and check with your utility provider if uncertain. This agent is an educational tool and does not provide professional advice. Nothing generated by this agent should be construed as a substitute for following your utility provider's official instructions. Different meter models and providers may have specific requirements — always check your provider's guidelines. Use at your own risk.
