Introduction

About Everyday Software

At Everyday Software, we specialize in building intelligent conversational experiences that solve real business problems. As a certified expert with Voiceflow, Botpress, and Lindy, I bring extensive experience in conversational AI, backend architecture, and frontend design to every project.

Our work with enterprise clients like Verizon Business and Enterprise Rent-A-Car has demonstrated our ability to deploy successful AI agents that improve customer experiences and drive business results.

About Meter.me

Meter.me is revolutionizing rural water systems by providing digital interfaces to monitor ponds, wells, and water meters. Your innovative IoT sensors and app-based interface allow customers to track water levels, pump usage, and well drawdown with unprecedented ease.

Our proposal aims to enhance your customer experience by helping new users quickly identify the right products for their specific water system needs.

Understanding the Challenge

The Current Situation

Water system product selection requires technical knowledge that many new customers don't possess. Questions about well depth, casing size, tank height, and other specifications are necessary to make the correct product recommendation.

Your current setup with Big Sur AI is not meeting your needs because it:

  • Presents product recommendations too quickly
  • Fails to ask enough qualifying questions
  • Doesn't provide the conversational guidance needed for accurate recommendations
  • Lacks the confidence level required to ensure customers get the exact right product

The Ideal Solution

You need an AI assistant that can:

Conversational Discovery

Guide customers through a friendly, structured conversation to understand their needs

Technical Assessment

Ask the right technical questions about their water system specifications

Precise Recommendations

Recommend the perfect product with high confidence from your catalog of 20-30 items

Direct Purchasing

Direct customers to the exact product page on your Shopify store

Meter.me Assistant

Hi there! Welcome to Meter.me. I can help you find the perfect water monitoring solution for your needs. Do you have an existing well system or are you looking to monitor a pond or other water source?

I have a well system on my property.

Great! Do you know the depth of your well and the size of the well casing?

My well is about 120 feet deep with a 6-inch casing.

Thank you. Do you have a submersible pump installed? If so, do you know how deep it's set?

Yes, it's a submersible pump set at about 100 feet.

Would you like to monitor just the water level, or would you also like to control your pump remotely?

I'd like to do both – monitor and control.

Based on your requirements, I recommend the WellControl Pro with remote monitoring capabilities.

This system is specifically designed for wells with 6" casings and depths up to 150 feet. It includes remote pump control and real-time monitoring.
