Smart cities are using AI agents to audit digital content for Section 508 compliance, detect fires and fire risks, automate documentation, and provide chatbot assistance to citizens and visitors. With the amount of data cities must manage growing all the time, there’s high potential for many other agentic AI use cases to bring value to local governments.
Stop fighting AI complexity, start building AI apps: Empower your developers to deliver real AI value, fast
Your business demands AI features. But your development teams are blocked. They face a maze of complex frameworks, fragmented data, security hurdles, and the impossible requirement of deep AI expertise for every project.
Kamiwaza is the AI orchestration platform built for enterprise developers. We abstract the complexity. Our platform enables your existing team to build powerful, secure, distributed AI applications without needing specialized AI talent.
Why building enterprise AI apps is so hard
Your developers are smart, but the current AI landscape makes building real applications a nightmare.
- The AI complexity tax: Choosing models, managing frameworks, building MLOps pipelines, ensuring scalability — this requires specialized skills most enterprise teams lack, slowing everything down.
- Disconnected data and systems: Your app needs data from five different places, including secure on-prem systems. Stitching this together safely for AI is a massive integration headache.
- Security becomes a blocker: How do you give an AI feature secure, role based access to sensitive data without creating vulnerabilities? Standard approaches often fail.
- The “build versus buy” trap: Point solutions are too narrow. Building from scratch is too slow and complex. You need a platform that accelerates, not complicates.
Your team is stuck spending 90% of their time on infrastructure and integration, and only 10% on building the actual AI feature.
The platform that handles the hard parts of AI
Kamiwaza provides the orchestration layer that lets your developers focus on building applications, not wrestling with AI infrastructure.
Abstracted complexity
We provide a pre-integrated stack. Your developers work with higher level APIs and concepts like “agents” and “workflows,” not low-level model management or distributed systems plumbing.
Secure access to all your data
Our platform connects to your data where it lives — across clouds and on-prem. Developers can easily build features that securely leverage data from multiple sources without complex data engineering or security reviews for every app.
Build with AI agents & modules
Use our pre-built components, like Graph RAG, for knowledge discovery or deploy specialized AI agents for tasks like document processing. Developers assemble sophisticated capabilities instead of building everything from scratch.
Security built in, not bolted on
Our platform integrates natively with your enterprise IAM. Role-based access control (RBAC) applies automatically to AI features. Developers build secure apps by default.
Build powerful AI features your business needs
With Kamiwaza, your existing development teams can finally deliver:
- Intelligent Internal tools: Build a secure, company specific chatbot that understands your internal knowledge graph and can automate tasks across departments.
- AI-powered application features: Embed intelligent document processing, predictive analytics, or recommendation engines directly into your existing customer facing or internal applications.
- Automate business processes: Design and deploy multi agent workflows that automate complex tasks spanning multiple systems, handling exceptions intelligently.
- Secure data products: Create analytics features that leverage sensitive data without ever moving or exposing it, maintaining perfect compliance.
The fastest path to enterprise AI applications
- Leverage existing skills: Your Java, Python, or .NET developers can build sophisticated AI apps. No need to hire an army of expensive AI specialists.
- Accelerate time to market: Go from concept to production AI feature dramatically faster by abstracting infrastructure complexity.
- Work with your stack: Our platform integrates with your existing tools, clouds, on-prem systems, and security infrastructure.
- Enterprise-grade security and governance: Build with confidence knowing that data security, compliance, and auditability are handled by the platform.
Empower your team. Accelerate your AI roadmap
Stop letting complexity block your progress. Give your developers the platform they need to build the secure, intelligent applications your business demands.
