AI use case

Find out why your utility bill went up

A utility bill shows a total and a usage number, but not whether you used more, the rate went up, or a new charge was added, so it is hard to know what to fix.

1. Take a photo or PDF of this month's bill and last month's. Cover or crop out your account number, address and any barcode first.
2. Ask ChatGPT or Gemini to pull out the dates, usage, each charge and any discounts into a simple table, and to compare the two months.
3. Ask whether the change came from using more or from a higher rate or added fee, then check those rates against your utility's official rate page.
4. Read your meter to make sure the usage matches, then pick just one or two changes, like a thermostat or water-heater setting, and see if next month's bill drops.
5. SnailNomad's guide lays this out as a seven-step routine and reminds you that the AI's table is a starting point, not the final word.
