AI Jugaad 2: ask an AI why your electricity bill jumped
Share a photo or the details of your bill, ask one question, and let an AI read the units and check the slab for you.
Your electricity bill doubles and nothing changed at home. Same AC, same fridge. The reel shows a quick way to find out why: hand the bill to an AI and ask one question.
What you actually do
Take a photo of the bill, or type out its details. Then ask what made it go up. That is the whole input.
The AI reads the units consumed, checks them against the slab structure, and tells you the real reason for the jump. You don't need to know how your tariff works before you start. That's the part most of us don't know anyway.
What it found in the example
In the example bill, the cause was small and easy to miss. Only 12 units went over the slab. But crossing it changed the rate for all the units, not just those 12. So a tiny bump in usage turned into a bill that looked twice as big.
That explains the confusing part. If you compare this month to last month, your habits look identical. The appliances are the same and the usage feels the same. What changed is which side of a slab line you landed on.
A human can spot this too, but only after finding the tariff table and doing the arithmetic. Handing the bill to an AI skips that digging. It does the reading and the slab check in one pass.
Check your own board
Slabs are different for every board. The 12 units and the doubled rate belong to this example bill, and yours will have its own numbers. So don't assume your bill works the same way. Look up the slabs for your own board and compare them with the units on your bill.
When you ask, include the units and the billing period if the photo doesn't make them clear. The better the details, the easier it is to check the slab properly. Then read the answer against your board's tariff yourself. If the AI says a slab boundary caused the jump, you can confirm that on the tariff page.
The reel's creator also offers the exact prompt he used. Comment JUGAAD on the reel and he'll send it by DM.
What to try
Pull up your last two bills and look at the units on each. Give the higher one to an AI and ask what made it jump. Then check the slab it names against your own board's tariff.
