Your AI-powered assistant for discovering and applying CEATI's trusted technical knowledge — grounded in decades of utility research, benchmarking, and real-world operational experience.
Doug is built on top of CEATI's trusted research library — delivering sourced, peer-backed answers grounded in decades of utility expertise.
Doug combines the latest AI models with the one thing you can't get anywhere else — CEATI's vetted research, benchmarking discussions, webinars, and operational guidance.
Every finding traces back to the exact report, section, and page it came from, with a relevance score and the utilities that contributed. This is AI done differently: grounded in how utility teams actually operate.
