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.
Fix the resume black hole.
Hire talent, not just keywords
Your HR team is drowning in a resume avalanche. Worse, your applicant tracking system (ATS) is failing you. Up to 75% of qualified resumes are unfairly rejected by rigid keyword matching before a human ever sees them. This broken process wastes thousands of hours, perpetuates hiring bias, and loses you top talent.
Kamiwaza’s AI agents revolutionize talent acquisition. We go beyond keywords to understand the context of a resume, identifying true skills and potential. This isn’t just a better filter: it’s an end-to-end AI orchestrator that automates the entire hiring workflow, securely behind your firewall.
Your ATS is a liability, not a solution
The technology you bought to save time is now your biggest bottleneck. The reliance on rigid, outdated ATS algorithms creates a cascade of problems:
- You lose top talent: Qualified, diverse candidates are filtered out by flawed logic, while competitors hire them.
- You reinforce bias: Algorithms trained on historical data can perpetuate and even amplify existing biases, creating significant legal and reputational risk.
- You burn out your team: Your HR professionals are forced to manually re-review thousands of resumes, doing “robot work” instead of strategic talent acquisition.
- You risk sensitive data: Moving candidate PII to third-party cloud platforms creates a massive security risk. A single breach can lead to fines of up to 4% of your annual global revenue.
Intelligence without compromise: AI that understands talent
Kamiwaza’s AI agents are purpose-built applications that deploy from our App Garden to automate your entire talent lifecycle — securely and at scale.
Our platform is the only one that delivers intelligence without compromise, processing all sensitive PII and resume data exactly where it lives. Your candidate data never leaves your private cloud or firewall, eliminating data transfer risks and ensuring full GDPR/CCPA compliance by design.
End ATS bias and discover hidden talent
Traditional ATS algorithms create legal risk. Our AI agents mitigate this by extracting and validating data into objective, skill-based profiles. This mitigates bias at the intake phase and helps you build the diverse, high-performing workforce you need.
Automate onboarding, not just hiring
The work isn’t over at “yes.” Kamiwaza automates the processing of all onboarding paperwork, benefit forms, and legal documents. This creates a smooth, paperless employee experience that can increase new hire retention by 16% and save millions.
Ensure PII security & compliance by design
Our platform processes all sensitive PII in place, eliminating the risk of data exposure. We also deploy specialized agents, like ARIA, to ensure your internal documents and systems meet technical conformance for Section 508 accessibility mandates.

From processor to strategic partner
Stop asking your team to manage a broken ATS. “Tomorrow’s CHRO” orchestrates 1,000 recruiting agents. These agents screen with intelligence, identify perfect-fit candidates in hours, and even predict employee flight risks.
Kamiwaza provides the leverage to make this possible, turning your HR team from tactical processors into strategic talent conductors.

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
FAQs about AI-powered smart cities

What agentic AI solutions are available for smart cities?
Standalone hardware and software for agentic AI can analyze data from connected devices, sensors, and systems to automate processes. Integrated solutions like the HPE Agentic Smart City Solution combines hardware, software, and services into a single platform.
How can cities use AI on data from different sources?
Many cities have an overwhelming amount of data distributed across incompatible legacy systems and siloed departmental records. IT teams may be concerned that this means their data isn’t ready to be processed by AI. However, AI orchestration from Kamiwaza can access and process data without moving it, making it possible for cities to use AI agents on virtually all of their data.
How do I make my website Section 508 compliant?
To make their websites compliant with the Section 508 federal standard for digital accessibility, cities must ensure all content meets certain requirements. For example, images must have descriptive text, videos must have captions and transcripts, content must be structured with headings, interactive elements must be navigable using the keyboard, and content must have sufficient color contrast.
What are the best solutions for Section 508 compliance testing software?
There are a variety of automated tools that offer Section 508 compliance services, including document testing software and screen readers. Kamiwaza's ARIA (Accessibility Remediation Intelligence Agent) is an AI-powered agent designed to audit and fix digital content so that it meets Section 508 and ADA requirements. This autonomous agent audits websites, flags accessibility issues, guides developers with clear fixes, and adapts as requirements change. Because it can work at scale, ARIA is ideal for municipalities, who often have to work across many different departments and systems.
