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 searching. Start discovering
Your enterprise search is broken. It gives you a list of 100 documents, not the one answer you need. Your critical business knowledge is fragmented across thousands of reports, databases, and siloed systems.
Kamiwaza’s knowledge discovery platform builds an enterprise brain from your distributed data. Using graph retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and automatic ontologies, we find the hidden relationships between your data. This allows you to ask complex questions and get a single, accurate answer, all while your data stays 100% secure.
Your “answers” are just document lists
You have more data than ever but less true intelligence. The problem isn’t searching. It’s the lack of connection.
- Fragmented knowledge: Your data is siloed. A customer record in your CRM has no connection to its service tickets or its invoice history. You can’t see the full picture.
- Keyword-based search fails: When you ask a complex question, like, “Which customers on a 3-year contract had a critical support issue in the last 90 days?” your search bar fails. It just finds keywords, not answers.
- Security blocks insight: To build a “knowledge lake,” you are forced to move all your sensitive data to one central, high-risk location. This is often a non-starter for compliance and security teams.
Build an enterprise brain without moving your data
Kamiwaza’s platform uses graph RAG to build a true knowledge graph from your enterprise data. We do this without ever moving your data from its secure, original location.
Automated knowledge graph construction
Our platform scans your distributed sources (like documents and databases) and automatically identifies key entities. This includes things like customers, products, contracts, and employees.
Entity-aware intelligence
We go beyond documents to map the relationships between entities. We understand that “Company A” signed “Contract B” and submitted “Invoice C.” This entity-aware intelligence is what allows you to find real answers.
Complex querying for real answers
Now you can ask complex, multi-step questions. Instead of just searching, you can “navigate” your data. Ask, “Show me all projects that use the same parts as ‘Project X’ and are run by a vendor who failed a security audit.” Our platform finds the answer in seconds.
How leaders are using knowledge discovery
- A global data center provider: This provider needed to understand complex relationships across all their infrastructure assets. They use Kamiwaza’s Graph RAG to build a comprehensive knowledge graph, enabling true entity-level understanding of their operations.
- A life sciences company: This company’s researchers needed to find hidden connections in vast biomedical datasets. They use our platform to analyze relationships and accelerate discovery, all while the underlying data remains secure and on-premise.
See the connections, not just the documents
- On-premise and secure: Your sensitive data never leaves your control. We build the knowledge graph and run all queries securely, inside your firewall.
- True relationship understanding: This isn’t just “semantic search.” We build a true graph structure. This lets you uncover complex, multi-step relationships that keyword-based tools will always miss.
- Connect all your silos: Our platform works with your reality. It connects your fragmented, distributed data without forcing you into a costly and risky data centralization project.

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.
FAQs about AI-powered smart cities
What are some agentic AI use cases for 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.
