Energy brokers and suppliers — here’s a fun Friday thought-starter:
What happens when you combine live quoting with AI-powered, voice-enabled assistance?
At Tickd, we’ve been playing with that very question. And we’d love for you to try it out.
👋 Meet James, our brand-new AI energy advisor. He’s only two days into the job, still learning the ropes — but already starting to surprise us with what’s possible.
What Is James, Exactly?
James is an experimental AI assistant built into our live business energy quoting tool. He’s designed to help users better understand their quotes, ask questions in real-time, and guide them through next steps.
He’s accessible via standard web chat — but what really blew us away was trying him with voice (available on desktop). Hearing your quote read back to you, followed by instant clarification and support? It’s a whole new experience.
How to Try It Yourself
Here’s how to test James out — it’ll take less than five minutes:
- 👉 Spend 30 seconds getting a live business energy quote here:
https://smequote.tickd.co.uk/ - 🗨️ Open the chat window in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
- 🎤 If you’re on desktop, enable voice chat — this is where James really comes to life.
James will instantly read your actual quote, answer questions based on it, and try to help you decide what to do next.
Is This the Future — or Just a Fun Gimmick?
Honestly, we’re not sure.
It might just be a clever tech demo. Or it could be the start of a whole new way to approach energy switching — one that’s faster, friendlier, and far more intuitive for businesses and brokers alike.
That’s why we’re asking you, the experts, to weigh in.
We’d Love Your Feedback
If you’re an energy broker or supplier, we’d love to hear what you think. Is this useful? Is it annoying? Is it brilliant but needs refining?
This is very much an early-stage experiment — and your thoughts could help shape where we go next.
So go ahead. Say hello to James. Ask him a few tough questions. And tell us what the future should look like.
