Ask the Grid makes power markets legible.

Public grid intelligence anyone can read and share; a free workspace with live maps and a source-aware agent; and private operating context for teams that need to go deeper.

01

Everything on one surface

Market data, grid geography, and a tool-using analyst in one place, across all 7 live US wholesale markets, so the question stays whole.

02

Sources travel with answers

Every figure arrives with its source of record, its timestamp, and what the coverage misses.

03

Public before a sales call

Open the live grid and read the research without talking to anyone first.

The number is rarely the whole answer.

Finding one value is easy. Reconstructing the market around it is not. Ask the Grid keeps the market and the physical network in view together, with an analyst that can work across both, so a question runs from first search to a sourced conclusion without being rebuilt somewhere else.

ERCOT’s five-minute real-time LMP report, traced from the published file to the surfaces that read it. Each of the 362 datasets in the catalog is pinned to a source of record, an exact table, and a key the same way.

Four rules for an answer worth acting on

01

The map is evidence.

Power markets are physical. The answer should land on the node, line, asset, zone, and interval that produced it.

02

Lineage is part of the answer.

Timestamps, lineage, coverage, and caveats stay close to the conclusion instead of disappearing behind a score.

03

The market stays specific.

ERCOT is not CAISO. One interface should preserve the rules, cadence, and native meaning of every ISO.

04

The agent does the work.

Useful answers take searching, querying, calculating, charting, and reporting.

The company

Built by Parisi Labs

We build decision systems for power markets.

And for the grid-connected operations behind them.

Ask the Grid is the public part of that work.

Public
first.

The product, the data, and the research are open to inspect.
