Your AI pulls production, consumption, and trade figures from the EIA to calculate the current US market balance. It identifies surpluses or shortages by comparing these specific data points. You get a clear picture of the supply-demand gap.

Market intelligence outcomes

Where the data lands.

The AI processes raw EIA data into these specific insights.

SUPPLY

Production tracking

The AI monitors US output levels. You get a clear view of how much gas is actually coming out of the ground.

DEMAND

Consumption analysis

Your agent tracks how much gas is being used across different sectors. This helps you spot shifts in usage patterns.

FLOW

Trade and movement

The AI looks at export and import data. You'll see how much gas is leaving or entering the US market.

HUMAN

Strategic decisions

The AI provides the data, but you decide how to trade or hedge based on the resulting market balance.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI moves from raw data collection to a finished market assessment.

  1. Gather supply data
