The "Black Box" Barrier
Laceria's PhD team built groundbreaking algorithms for energy optimization, but they were trapped in the lab. Their predictive models were invisible to the market—no interface, no brand, no connected ecosystem.
The challenge was translating raw mathematical brilliance into a trusted, consumer-facing product. They needed to bridge the gap between "Research Paper" and "Scalable Business."

The Multi-Agent Ecosystem
Multi-Agent System
Deployed autonomous AI agents that negotiate energy loads, forecast spikes, and trade surplus power without user intervention.
IoT Integration
Built a robust MQTT layer to ingest real-time data from smart meters, solar inverters, and HVAC systems.
Dual Interface
Created separate but connected experiences: a simple app for Home Users and a complex dashboard for Grid Operators.
Scientific yet Approachable
We crafted a design language that unites "Academic Rigor" with "Consumer Trust." The goal was to make complex energy data feel as simple as checking the weather.
- Visualizing Savings: Abstract algorithms translated into clear "Dollars Saved" metrics.
- Predictive Alerts: "Turn on AC now to save cost" notifications powered by forecasting agents.
- Sustainability First: CO2 impact is surfaced alongside price, encouraging green behavior.
