Choose the right perspective
Pick the person whose own title and practice area, such as litigation, regulatory work, commercial deals or a region, sit closest to your question, and check when each role started. Match scope as well, since a lawyer leading a company-wide practice and one covering a single region or business will answer from different vantage points.

What if they don't reply?
You pay nothing. Instant Expert sends follow-up reminders, and if the person hasn't booked or answered within 7 days, the request expires and any hold on your card is released. You can invite several of the 10 people on this list at once and cap your total spend, so you pay only for the ones who accept.
Can an AI agent ask one of these CenterPoint Energy legal leaders a question?
Yes. An agent with a USDC wallet on Base can ask one question without an Instant Expert account.

The person answers in writing or by voice note, and if nobody answers within 7 days, the payment goes back to the wallet automatically. Claude and ChatGPT can do the same through the Instant Expert connector: setup is at /docs/mcp for Claude and /docs/chatgpt for ChatGPT. x402 docs
