About

Utility GIS, run by people who've done the work.

Nutility is an AI agent workforce for utility GIS, backed by senior engineers. We move utilities off the retired geometric network and onto the Esri ArcGIS Utility Network — and stay on to keep that data clean, connected, and audit-ready long after go-live.

The Migration Playbook — Nutility's field guide to moving off the geometric network
Why we exist

The migration everyone dreads shouldn't take eighteen months.

The industry deadline is real: Esri is retiring the geometric network, and every gas and electric utility has to move to the ArcGIS Utility Network. Most treat it as a multi-year, all-hands slog — armies of analysts hand-tracing connectivity, rebuilding asset models, and cleaning data one feature at a time.

We think that's backwards. The heavy, repetitive work — transformation, validation, connectivity checks — is exactly what an AI agent workforce does well. The judgment — the asset package, the network model, the sign-off — is exactly what senior engineers should own. Nutility pairs the two: engineer-led, agent-run. Most migrations go live in four to six weeks, and the agents that did the work can stay on to keep the network valid long after.

We started Nutility because we'd lived the alternative — and knew utilities deserved better than another advisory deck.

Founding Partner

Jason has spent his career building software and data platforms for regulated, high-stakes environments. At Nutility he leads the engineering and AI agent platform — the systems that let a small team of senior engineers move a utility off the retired geometric network in weeks instead of years. He's also the founder of Mashbot, an enterprise technology consultancy.

Founding Partner

Isaac is a utility GIS and Esri ArcGIS Utility Network specialist who has spent years inside the asset models, network topology, and data standards that utilities actually run on. At Nutility he leads domain and delivery — designing the asset packages and connectivity models every migration is built on, and making sure nothing ships to go-live without a senior engineer standing behind it.

Our values

How we work, in three words we mean.

These three lead the way we engage. They're part of a longer set we hold ourselves to on every engagement.

Accountability Over Advice

We own outcomes, not just recommendations. Every engagement ends with measurable results we stand behind — not a deck full of observations.

Earned Directness

We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Candor, delivered with respect, is a form of care — not a liability.

Operator Integrity

We've sat in the seats our clients sit in — as engineers, operators, and executives. That context shapes how we engage: with rigor and no tolerance for theater.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does Nutility actually do?
We're an AI agent workforce for utility GIS, backed by senior GIS engineers. We move utilities off the retired geometric network and onto the Esri ArcGIS Utility Network — and can stay on to keep that data clean and audit-ready long after go-live.
Do I have to take both services, or can I start with just one?
Just one is fine — migration and maintenance are separate engagements. Take the migration on its own and run the network yourself from go-live, or bring us in for maintenance alone — the agents work whether or not we did your migration. Many utilities start with one and add the other when it makes sense.
How long does a migration take?
Most migrations go live in roughly four to six weeks, versus the 12 to 18 months a manual effort typically takes. Engineers design the asset package up front; agents do 85%+ of the transformation and validation in parallel.
Is this just scripts and AI, or are real engineers involved?
Both, by design — engineer-led and agent-run. Senior GIS engineers design your model and sign off on the result; the AI agent workforce does the heavy, repetitive lifting. Nothing ships to go-live without a senior engineer's sign-off.
How much does it cost?
Migrations are a fixed price, scoped from an initial assessment — so you know the number before you commit, and it fits in a budget. Ongoing maintenance is a predictable subscription. Reach out and we'll walk you through it.
What happens after go-live?
That's up to you. We hand over a connected, traceable network you can run yourself — or the same agents that migrated your data stay on to maintain it: continuously checking connectivity, keeping the network model valid, and keeping your records audit-ready, so the cleanup work that never ends doesn't pile up.
Which utilities and domains do you support?
We focus on gas and electric networks on the Esri ArcGIS Utility Network. If you're planning a move off the geometric network, we should talk.
How do you handle data security?
We treat your network data as sensitive critical-infrastructure information: least-privilege access, encryption in transit and at rest, and a full audit trail of every change agents make. We're happy to review your security requirements directly.
How do we get started?
Start with a migration assessment. Send us a note on the contact page or email hello@nutility.io, and an engineer will scope your network and walk you through timeline and price.
