Founded in 2009, Robots & Pencils is a technology firm that builds cloud-native AI solutions. The company's work spans applied AI engineering, cloud-native infrastructure, and human-centered design, with a focus on pragmatic AI implementations. It serves clients across multiple sectors, including education, financial services, healthcare, high tech, retail, and consumer goods.
The firm's stated philosophy blends sciences with humanities - a reference to its name, combining the technical ("Robots") with the creative ("Pencils"). Its team emphasises a fusion of creativity and technology to help organisations deliver improved customer and employee experiences.
Robots & Pencils has a history of contrarian bets; it held the view that mobile would be more transformative than the internet, a position that shaped its early trajectory. The company operates remotely and offers roles suited to distributed teams.
