Electricity of France | Utilities | 171862 | $151.0B | France | Amazon Web Services (AWS) | Amazon Alexa Voice AI | Chatbots and Conversational AI | 2018 | n/a | In 2018, Electricity of France implemented Amazon Alexa Voice AI within EDF Energy Research and Development UK to prototype voice-first customer and operational assistants. The work targeted the Apps Category , beginning with skills intended to enable vulnerable energy customers to interact with their energy accounts and thermostats using only voice. The implementation delivered a set of Amazon Alexa skills, including account linking workflows that allow an Amazon Echo to connect to a customer energy account, and thermostat control capabilities for eligible devices. EDF Energy R&D built exploratory conversational capabilities and an evolving project called EVE, described as a smart personal energy assistant that learns from aggregated user feedback and refines understanding of individual customers. Architecturally the program leveraged Amazon Web Services as the cloud platform and Amazon Echo devices as the voice endpoints, with server side logic implementing natural language handling, account authentication and device control. The Digital Innovation team also constructed internal chatbots that automate developer and operational tasks, including logging work, automating deployments, and creating bug reports without manual server access. Governance and roll out were driven by EDF Energy Research and Development UK and the Digital Innovation team, with the initial public release described as the first Alexa skill launched by an energy company and made available to all customers by linking the Echo to any customer energy account. The program emphasized iterative exploration of conversational AI for customer engagement and internal productivity, while evolving EVE as a longer term personal energy concierge concept. | |
