Your team is leaking data to public AI — so your “secure” internal chatbot is useless
You have a critical AI problem. Your employees are pasting sensitive company data into public AI tools, creating a massive security risk. But your “secure” internal chatbots are useless because they can’t access the real, siloed, on-prem data needed to do any real work.
Kamiwaza’s Kaizen is a secure, tool-using AI agent that runs inside your firewall. It’s the only AI assistant that’s both powerful (it can access all your distributed data) and 100% secure (your data never moves).
The two-front challenge in conversational AI
Most organizations are navigating two competing pressures:
- Data security concerns: Teams are using public AI tools to work more efficiently. And sometimes, they share sensitive information like strategic plans, financial data, or confidential documents. This creates potential security and compliance risks that need to be addressed.
- Limited internal capabilities: Many internal AI solutions, while secure, have significant limitations. They often can’t access critical systems or perform basic tasks like checking invoice status in on-premise finance systems. This gap between security and utility leaves teams frustrated.
You are forced to choose between a powerful tool that’s dangerous or a safe tool that’s useless.
An AI agent that’s both secure and powerful
Kamiwaza’s Kaizen agent solves both problems at once. It’s a conversational AI that acts as a secure orchestrator for your entire enterprise.
It runs inside your firewall
The Kaizen agent deploys 100% on-premise or in your private cloud. So, employees can ask it anything. They can analyze sensitive financial data, review legal contracts, or discuss product strategy. Because your data never leaves your secure perimeter, the data leakage risk is completely eliminated.
It accesses your real, distributed data
Because it lives securely inside your network, Kaizen can be given secure access to all your systems. It connects to your on-prem legacy mainframes, your cloud apps, and your secure databases. For the first time, you have an AI that can answer complex, cross-domain questions.
It’s an agent that takes action, not a bot that just chats
This is the most important difference. Our agents are tool-users. You can give them secure, role-based credentials to perform real work.
- Don’t just say, “Is invoice #4502 approved?”
- Instead, say, “Find invoice #4502 and check its status. If it’s not approved, route it to the correct manager.”
The agent will securely execute that entire multi-step workflow.
Orchestration in action: how It works
When you ask the Kaizen agent a question, it orchestrates a secure, multi-agent workflow:
- The user writes, “Show me the support tickets for our top 5 accounts in the CPG industry.”
- Kamiwaza’s Kaizen agent (the orchestrator) pings two other specialized agents.
- The “CRM agent,” which lives on your cloud server, securely queries Salesforce for “top 5 CPG accounts.”
- The “support agent,” which lives on your on-prem server, securely queries the legacy support database for tickets matching those 5 accounts.
- Kamiwaza’s Kaizen agent receives the answers (not the raw data) from both agents, synthesizes them, and presents a single, unified answer to the user.
A true enterprise-grade agent
- 100% secure and private: Your data never leaves your control. It’s never used for public model training. It’s never exposed to a third party.
- Works with your messy reality: It’s the only AI assistant that can securely connect to your cloud apps, on-prem databases, and legacy systems all at once.
- Performs real work: Our AI agents go beyond “read-only.” They can be granted credentials (via RBAC) to execute multi-step tasks.
- Continuously learns: The agents learn from your unique environment and feedback to become more accurate and helpful over time.
The benefits of agentic AI for smart cities
Launch use cases quickly
With a production-ready solution, smart cities can quickly pilot use cases, make adjustments, and deploy agents at scale.
Scale across departments
Kamiwaza’s Distributed Data Engine means AI agents can process information across departments and systems without having to move data or compromise security.
Protect sensitive data
Maintain control of sensitive data within a secure, future-ready framework.
Achieve Section 508 compliance
The ARIA AI agent from Kamiwaza acts as Section 508 compliance testing and remediation software, helping cities meet digital accessibility requirements.
Agentic AI use cases for smart cities
The HPE Agentic Smart City Solution empowers a new class of AI use cases that help municipalities save time, reduce operational costs, and provide better services to citizens and visitors.
Section 508 compliance for digital accessibility
ARIA by Kamiwaza scans and automatically fixes digital content to ensure it meets accessibility standards, including Section 508 and ADA requirements for government agencies. This autonomous agent can independently audit websites, identify accessibility issues, and provide developers with fixes. Developed in partnership with HPE and SHI, ARIA helps local governments keep their digital presence compliant as their web footprints evolve.
Fire prevention and early detection
A comprehensive fire detection system for local fire departments includes AI-powered visual streaming from ProHawk and computer vision from Vaidio. Kamiwaza allows the model to assess the state of the fire, identifies the presence of people or wildlife, and generates an emergency response plan to help first responders arrive with the right equipment and information. SHI delivers system integration on HPE servers.
Deed restriction automation
Kamiwaza built a document processing agent that can review hundreds of distributed documents on deed-restricted properties. The agent extracts key data, answers compliance questions, and generates reports, reducing a weeks-long process to just hours. By automating this complex and resource-intensive process, municipalities can save time for brokers and homeowners while reducing data entry errors.
Digital AI ambassador
A digital AI ambassador can act as the first line of support for visitors, resolving common questions quickly. Kamiwaza's Inference Mesh retrieves live information from public documents, including details about parking, services, and events. The concierge can respond in real time with accurate, up-to-date information, reducing the burden on city employees.
Simplifying operations in the Town of Vail
Renowned for its outdoor recreation and world-class skiing, the Town of Vail has 4,300 permanent residents and hosts up to 30,000 visitors per day during peak season. The town is deploying the full set of use cases available with the HPE Agentic Smart City Solution to improve digital accessibility, fire prevention, deed restriction processes, and visitor information-finding.
“Our new smart city infrastructure from HPE will enable us to considerably improve how we communicate with residents and visitors by eliminating mundane processes, freeing up staff to focus on what matters, making Vail more efficient and responsive for everyone.”
—Russell Forrest, town manager, Town of Vail
