ETH Swiss Energy Scenarios
Switzerland’s energy future, answered in your own language.
6AI agents, each an expert in one part
100+data tables and reports from Energy Perspectives 2050+
4languages: English, German, French, Italian
The problem
Switzerland’s official energy scenarios hold the answers on the path to net zero, but they sit in dozens of data tables and long technical reports. Citizens, journalists and policymakers cannot read them quickly, and often not in their own language.
This system lets anyone ask a question in plain words and get an answer at their level, drawn from the official data.
The idea
1AskA question in English, German, French or Italian.
2RouteAn orchestrator sends it to the agents who know that part.
3AnswerData, scenarios, reports and policy are combined into one answer.
4AdaptShaped for a citizen, a journalist, a student or a policymaker.
What was built
- Six agents. An orchestrator, plus experts for the data, the scenarios, the reports, the policy context and translation.
- The official data. 87 data tables on population, emissions, energy use, electricity and the economy, from 2000 to 2060, and the technical reports beside them.
- Scenario comparison. The net-zero path set against continuing as today, side by side.
- Four languages. Questions detected and answered in the user’s language, with Swiss energy terms kept intact.
- Answers by audience. The same question answered differently for a citizen, a journalist, a student or a policymaker.
- Web and command line. A web app for everyone, and a command line for analysts.
