WattWise

WattWise is a mobile + web AI app that turns energy literacy into a practical habit. Instead of generic lessons, it guides users through short “micro-audits” of their home or apartment: heating/cooling settings, standby loads, laundry routines, cooking, and commute choices. Users snap photos of appliances and utility bills, answer a few questions, and get plain-English explanations of where energy goes, what costs money, and what actually reduces kWh (not just feels green). It estimates savings ranges, payback periods, and confidence levels, and it flags common myths (e.g., “unplug everything” vs. the real big loads). A weekly challenge system keeps it lightweight: one action, one concept, one measurable outcome. It’s designed to be honest: if your biggest lever is landlord-controlled HVAC or building insulation, it says so and suggests realistic alternatives.
