# How can a utility, transport or service business use AI to keep customers informed during planned work and outages without the contact team repeating itself?

Start from the operations log or work order system, not from guesses: AI reads planned work and status changes there and drafts a short update for the affected area in an approved template, including when the next update is due. A duty supervisor approves each update before it is published, and the same approved text feeds every channel so customers get one consistent answer. Questions are answered from the latest approved update only, safety instructions and restoration times come only from operations, and anything else goes to a person.

## What this means in practice

- Read planned work and status changes from the operations system.
- Draft each update in an approved template with the next update time.
- Have a duty supervisor approve every update before it is published.
- Use the same approved text across every channel.
- Answer only from the latest approved update and pass the rest to a person.

## How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.

## See it as a workflow

- [Service interruption updates for customers](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/service-interruption-updates-for-customers/): Draft clear customer updates for planned work and service interruptions from the operations log, and answer “is it fixed yet?” questions from the latest approved status, so the contact team spends less time repeating the same update.
