Story in 60 seconds
Open with the problem, land on predictive interventions, show passive magic.
- Everyone wants to cut carbon without friction. Data is scattered, advice is noisy.
- Meet your Green Twin: a passive tracker that learns your habits, forecasts your footprint, and nudges you when it matters.
- It scans carts and travel searches, detects climate misinformation, and times home energy use to cleaner grid windows.
- We turn that into CO₂e and dollar savings, gamify streaks, and scale through social and utility partnerships.
Live Demo Beats
