Build for a Smarter, Cleaner, Faster Grid


Digital innovation for energy, delivered at scale


We help utilities and energy innovators modernize legacy systems, streamline operations, and embed AI across field, grid, and customer touchpoints.

The energy transition is digital, and the systems powering it need to be faster, smarter, and more connected than ever. At Robots & Pencils, we partner with utilities, renewables, and energy tech providers to reimagine core infrastructure, enable smarter field operations, and embed intelligence into every layer of the stack. From automated workflows to predictive maintenance to customer self-service portals, we design cloud-native platforms that deliver resilience, efficiency, and insight. With deep experience in regulated industries and distributed teams, we bring scalable, secure innovation that helps you lead through complexity.


Where We Drive Value

Smarter Field Ops, Powered by Design
We replace outdated tools and disconnected systems with intuitive digital platforms that support field teams in real time. Whether it’s mobile dispatch, asset tracking, or maintenance logging, we design UX-first tools that reduce friction, improve safety, and speed up service delivery.
Predictive Insights for a Resilient Grid
From load forecasting to outage prediction, we help energy companies build AI systems that anticipate problems before they escalate. Our solutions turn raw data into operational foresight—so you can prevent failures, optimize supply, and respond with precision.
Legacy Modernization, Without Disruption
We help you move beyond monolithic systems—safely and strategically. Using phased migration and cloud-native architecture, we modernize infrastructure while maintaining business continuity. Our builds are scalable, secure, and built to evolve with your regulatory and operational needs.
Customer Portals That Actually Work
We design digital experiences that give customers more control, whether they’re tracking usage, paying bills, or reporting issues. By connecting backend systems with human-first UX, we help you reduce call volumes, improve satisfaction, and make every interaction effortless.
Agentic AI That Orchestrates Action
We design AI systems that analyze and act. From intelligent ticket routing to automated incident response, our agentic platforms coordinate decisions, adapt to real-world context, and reduce manual load across your workforce.
Innovation, Aligned to Regulation
In energy, you can’t innovate in a vacuum. We bake governance, auditability, and security into every build, so you can move fast without risk. Whether you’re automating ESG reporting or enabling data access across departments, we help you build with compliance in mind.
