An autonomous agent that handles scheduling end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at energy ops teams, starting from data the business already produces.
In short: Energy Scheduling is an autonomous agent aimed at energy ops managers, covering scheduling. It scores 75/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by timing (96) and held back by monetisation (51). Typical pricing is $2.3k–$46k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in six to twelve months for $44k–$118k.
Energy teams lose a calendar rebuilt by hand every time one job slips. A typical energy operation runs this on people, memory, and a shared spreadsheet. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
Scheduling handled by an autonomous agent, with a human signing rather than writing. Revenue is usage-based, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Tool-using agents became reliable enough to close a loop without supervision. Energy is growing at roughly 18% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A spreadsheet | The real incumbent in most of the market, and it is free |
| A generalist AI tool | No domain grounding, so output needs full human review |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
Accuracy is unforgiving here — one wrong output costs more than the subscription.
