PLEXOS® Intelligence: AI Built-in to Accelerate Modeling Workflows

As energy systems evolve and decisions need to be made faster, traditional modeling workflows can become a bottleneck. Analysts and executives need model-based answers on demand. PLEXOS® Intelligence helps you move from setup to strategy faster directly within the PLEXOS® platform.

In this blog, we’ll explore how PLEXOS® Intelligence enables natural-language summaries, automates routine tasks, and extends the value of your workflow in PLEXOS®.

What is PLEXOS® Intelligence?

PLEXOS® Intelligence is a suite of AI-powered agents embedded into the PLEXOS® platform. It transforms how modelers, planners, traders, and decision-makers interact with modeling data. PLEXOS® Intelligence helps you interpret outputs, resolve errors, and highlight key findings, all within the platform.

It’s available in PLEXOS® Cloud, supported desktop versions (11R03+), and Excel Add-in with access based on license and deployment type.

Too much waiting, not enough clarity? You’re not alone.

Many modeling teams face:

• A limited number of internal expert resources
• Time-consuming and manual workflows
• Delays from moving data across multiple platforms, tools, or environments
• Slow turnaround on output for stakeholders and executives

These challenges and delays increase risk and reduce confidence in high-stakes energy decisions.

AI that’s already inside your workflow, and ready to help.

Unlike generic AI tools, PLEXOS® Intelligence is trained on energy-specific logic. Every response is base in your models, with clear traceability to structure, assumptions, and outputs. No separate apps or data extractions required.

AI in PLEXOS® is designed to help:

• Modelers resolve issues and automate analysis
• Analysts compare scenarios and surface trends
• Executives ask plain-language questions and get clear answers

Meet the AI agents.

The Support Assistant

The Support Assistant is your always-on modeling helpdesk, built right into PLEXOS®. Trained on over 1,500 support articles and best practices, it answers your simulation questions in plain language, exactly when you need it. Support Assistant helps users resolve issues faster without waiting for support tickets.

No delays. No guesswork. Just fast, relevant answers from inside your workflow.

With the Support Assistant, you can:

• Get answers to modeling questions in plain language
• Understand key PLEXOS® concepts like loss of load probability (LOLP), chronology, or long-term (LT) plan settings
• Receive best-practice guidance on  setup and structure

The Digital Analyst

The Digital Analyst is an AI-enabled feature built directly into PLEXOS®. It transforms complex simulation outputs into plain-language summaries, clear charts, and side-by-side comparisons. Available in both PLEXOS® Cloud and supported desktop versions (11 R03+) with a PLEXOS® Cloud license.

No manual analysis. No custom formulas. Ask a question and discover the story behind your results.

With the Digital Analyst, you can:

• Explore results interactively through instant visuals and natural-language outputs
• Compare scenarios to reveal key differences and performance drivers
• Highlight infeasibilities with recommendations on how to resolve them.
• Use prompts to create reports and dashboards that can be used across models

The Automation Agent

The Automation Agent is your AI assistant for modeling workflows. Built on the PLEXOS® Cloud Software Development Kit (SDK) and Command Line Interface (CLI), it uses AI guidance to well formed PLEXOS® Cloud generate Python scripts. These scripts help automate repetitive tasks, using simple prompts. Available with a PLEXOS® Cloud license, it can be accessed through both PLEXOS® Cloud and supported desktop environments (11 R03+). While it reduces manual effort, some technical knowledge is still recommended.

No manual scripting. No wasted time. Automate your modeling steps with ease.

With the Automation Agent, you can:

• Generate Python scripts to automate setup, execution, and post-processing in PLEXOS® Cloud
• Streamline scenario creation, data imports, and workflows
• Share scripts across teams to improve speed, consistency, and collaboration

The Market Expert (Early Access)

The Market Expert is your region-specific AI partner for interpreting results through a market specific lens. Trained on real-world market logic, it helps uncover price movements, congestion risks, and trading patterns. Available through select PLEXOS® Insights and PLEXOS® Playbooks products, it’s designed to support commercial decisions with greater speed and clarity.

No guesswork. No manual digging. Get contextual answers grounded in data.

With the Market Expert, you can:

• Surface major congestion points and price drivers
• Analyze trader-relevant behaviors from your own simulation data
• Uncover forecast spreads, profitable paths, and market-specific risks across regions

Designed for real people, solving real problems

Already in use across hundreds of customer teams worldwide, PLEXOS® Intelligence is accelerating:

• Support resolution times
• Workflow automation
• Scenario summaries for executives
