Robots & Pencils Opens Studio for Generative and Agentic AI in Bellevue

A Strategic Expansion to Meet Demand for Rapid Enterprise AI

The Studio in downtown Bellevue is fully operational and actively building its founding team as enterprise demand accelerates for AI systems that move from experimentation to production with speed, precision, and accountability.

The Studio expands Robots & Pencils' AI-native delivery model and represents a significant step in the company's U.S. growth, supported by global operations in Cleveland, Calgary, Toronto, Bogota, and Lviv. It adds meaningful capacity to support organizations launching AI-enabled products, platforms, and agentic systems at scale.

Strong Leadership Driving Focus and Velocity

The Studio in Bellevue operates under the leadership of Jeff Kirk, Executive Vice President of Applied AI at Robots & Pencils, and reinforces the company's growing presence in the Pacific Northwest while serving global clients pursuing ambitious AI initiatives.

"This Studio is designed for builders who want real ownership and real impact," said Kirk. "We are bringing together experienced teams who move quickly, think clearly, and take responsibility for outcomes. Our Studio model gives people the trust and focus to make strong decisions and deliver AI systems that translate directly into business value."

Working with AWS to Accelerate Enterprise AI Delivery

As an Amazon Web Services Partner located near Amazon headquarters, the Studio in Bellevue supports clients building and scaling AI solutions on Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon Quick Suite, and related AWS services. This proximity strengthens collaboration and supports faster experimentation and production-ready delivery for complex enterprise environments.

Robots & Pencils was recently selected as one of 11 inaugural partners in the invite-only AWS Pattern Partners program. The program works with a select group of consulting partners to define how enterprises adopt next-generation AI and emerging technologies on AWS through validated, repeatable patterns.

This recognition acknowledges Robots & Pencils' experience delivering production-grade AI architectures for enterprise customers. Working with AWS, the company supports secure and scalable AI delivery across regulated and high-impact industries while enabling teams to move with clarity and confidence from design through deployment.
