How One Energy Company Escaped AI Lock-In—And Took Control
A fast-growing energy company builds linear generators—machines that generate electricity from linear motion, using hydrogen, ammonia, biogas—almost any fuel.
Amazing tech. But there’s a problem.
Energy infrastructure is changing faster than policy can keep up. Power sources are becoming decentralized. Grids are growing brittle. To stay ahead, they knew they needed machine learning solutions. For that they needed an ML platform. And it needed to be theirs.
They had to own it.
An AI-powered way to search their 150,000+ internal documents
Security strong enough for SEC-grade scrutiny
Their team was lean by design. They weren’t trying to become another data company. They needed someone to come in, build their ML platform, and then leave them in control.
That’s why they called OpenTeams.

OpenTeams Solution
No robust AI/ML platform
No internal DevOps expert
No backup + restore options
No support overhead wanted
No vendor lock-in
GCP-native Nebari install, preconfigured
DevOps-free platform management tools
Feature added to Nebari + tested for GCP
Scoped ticket system only for actual issues
Open source platform + Full doc handoff + internal Capability uplift
This energy team got exactly what they needed, and nothing they didn’t. And when OpenTeams stepped back, they inherited infrastructure they understood
With OpenTeams’ help, this energy team now runs a scalable ML platform that they fully own.
01
Reduced recovery time by automating critical system backups.
02
Eliminated hidden dependencies, making internal audits easier.
03
Improved long-term sustainability, since no proprietary software limits their roadmap.
The team uses Nebari to support experimentation and data workflows—without having to escalate small issues to external vendors.
They wanted AI, but they weren’t interested in becoming a data company in the process. OpenTeams support saved them months of debugging and setup, and our engineering enhancements pushed Nebari further than before to work for their specific needs.
