A small Italian energy tariff comparison site, SwitchAI, has pivoted its product architecture to leverage large language models (LLMs) as the primary input layer. Instead of developing complex parsing logic for varied PDF energy bills, the site now relies on models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini to extract necessary data. The LLM then calls SwitchAI's API to perform tariff comparisons against over 5,600 regulated offers, with the LLM ultimately presenting the results to the user in natural language. A key design choice is to keep personal data out of the API calls, with the LLM handling PII extraction and consent management before constructing activation URLs. AI
