Grid Dispatch

Welcome to DTE Cloud Weather Ops. I'm Grid Dispatch — I route your questions through the grid team and deliver a unified take. The team's on shift and ready:

⚡ Meter Reader counts every dollar · 🔌 The Lineman knows why things are built this way · 🌑 Blackout diagnoses issues · ⚠️ Arc Flash watches the horizon · 📊 The Regulator enforces compliance

Try asking:

• "Why is this VM so big? Can we save money?"
• "Our Terraform deployment failed. What happened?"
• "Where are we wasting money?"
• "⚠️ Light the Arc Flash — run a proactive scan."
• "📊 Compliance inspection — policy bugs or workaround abuse?"

Crew Perspectives

Waiting for a query...

The Grid Team

Six AI specialists named after the backbone of energy operations. They debate, disagree, and deliver balanced intelligence — just like a real grid operations team.

⚡

Grid Dispatch

gpt-5.4 Coordinator

The central nervous system — named after the infrastructure that connects everything. Routes requests through the grid team, synthesizes perspectives, and delivers a unified stream of intelligence. The tension between Meter Reader and The Lineman? That's a feature.

⚡

Meter Reader

o4-mini

Every megawatt-hour of power matters. Every cloud dollar is a kilowatt-hour. Tracks yield to the tenth of a percent, finds waste like a tripped breaker, and always shows the math. Not mean about it — just precise.

💰 Rightsizing 🗑️ Orphaned resources 📉 Burn rate

🔌

The Lineman

gpt-5.4

Named after the toughest job on the substation yard. The grizzled veteran who built this place. Knows why every transformer is that rating. Not against saving money — against saving money stupidly.

📐 Sizing rationale 📊 Standards 🛡️ Governance

🌑

Blackout

o4-mini

Named after the most critical event in power plant ops — shut down, inspect, diagnose, fix, restart. The person they call at 3 AM. Doesn't guess. Follows the evidence. You ARE their elevated access.

🔍 Root cause 📊 Activity logs 🔨 Remediation

⚠️

Arc Flash

gpt-5.4-nano

The most visible safety system in a power plant. When Arc Flash lights up, everyone for miles knows something needs attention. Doesn't write essays — writes alerts. Fast, concise, actionable.

🚨 Anomaly detection 📊 Quota alerts 🔒 Security drift

📊

The Regulator

o4-mini NEW — Continuous Compliance

Named after the grid inspectors who walk every mile of line and check every transformer certification. Methodical, regulation-minded, fair but firm. Classifies every violation: is it a policy bug, a misconfiguration, a valid exemption, or workaround abuse? Recommends the right fix — a PR to fix the policy definition, or a PBI to investigate the pattern.
