DEWA provides Arabic services on Alexa

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has started providing its smart services on Amazon Alexa in Arabic, becoming the first government utility in the world to do this…reports Asian Lite News

Customers can now review their monthly bills in Arabic, check past statements, details of electricity and water consumption, their carbon footprint, as well as connect their DEWA account to other Amazon accounts. They can also benefit from Rammas, DEWA’s virtual employee, which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Amazon’s Alexa devices in Arabic to answer their enquiries.

Moreover, customers can benefit from the Smart Living initiative, which enables them to make smart decisions to reduce their consumption proactively and digitally as well as solve problems and causes for increased consumption or waste on their own; without contacting DEWA.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, said, “We are proud that DEWA is the first government utility in the world that provides its services in Arabic on Amazon Alexa. This reflects DEWA’s continuous efforts to achieve the maximum benefit from AI and disruptive technologies to provide the best smart services to its customers. DEWA was the first government entity in the UAE to add Rammas to this innovative technology since 2017 to enable customers to enquire about their bills anytime. Moreover, DEWA enables its customers to complete their transactions anytime and anywhere easily and safely on its website and smart app as well as other smart and digital channels. This saves their time and efforts and enhances their happiness as well as contribution to protecting the environment, natural resources and reducing carbon emissions.”
