We build situational awareness for the people who run, trade and build the grid.

Public grid data anyone can read, a free workspace with live maps and a grid agent, and a private layer for teams that need their own data beside it.

A sourced Ask the Grid answer beside the live ERCOT map
01

One surface

Market data, grid geography, and a tool-using analyst in one place, across 25 North American grids, so the question stays whole.

02

Sources come with every answer

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

03

Try it before you talk to us

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

The number is rarely the whole answer.

Looking up a price is easy. Explaining it means knowing what the grid was doing around it: which line was full, which plant tripped, what the weather did. Ask the Grid keeps prices and the physical network on one map, with an agent that reads both, so you can follow a question to a sourced answer in one place.

ERCOT’s five-minute real-time LMP report, traced from the published file to the surfaces that read it. Each of the 628 datasets in the catalog is pinned to a source of record, an exact table, and a key the same way.

How we build answers

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.

Built by Parisi Labs

We build world models for physical industry, starting with energy.

Metis is our family of models for understanding physical systems and exploring possible futures.

Ask the Grid is our live system explorer for energy, putting our data and models to work.

Public
