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.
Build & deploy AI features securely, anywhere
Ship faster without compromising your IP or infrastructure
Your technology company needs to embed AI everywhere: into your products, into your operations. But your complex hybrid infrastructure and strict IP security create roadblocks.
Traditional AI platforms demand centralization. This is impossible for your sensitive R&D data and unacceptable for deploying AI into your customers’ diverse environments.
Kamiwaza provides an AI archestration layer for technology innovators. We enable you to securely build, deploy, and manage AI across any environment (yours or your customers’) without moving sensitive data.
Infrastructure complexity is slowing your AI roadmap
You innovate for a living, but you’re up against deployment hurdles:
- Hybrid deployment nightmare: How do you deploy your AI features consistently across your cloud, your customer’s cloud, and your customer’s on premise servers? Traditional MLOps pipelines break in this hybrid reality.
- Protecting your crown jewels: Your source code, algorithms, and R&D data are invaluable. You need to analyze and improve them with AI, but you can’t risk moving this IP to external platforms or insecure central repositories.
- Operational blind spots: Your internal tools are siloed. Connecting DevOps, SecOps, support, and product data for intelligent automation (AIOps) requires brittle integrations that constantly fail.
- Enabling your customers securely: Your customers want AI features that run on their data within your product. But they won’t (or can’t) centralize their sensitive data into your cloud.
The orchestration fabric for tech innovation
Kamiwaza deploys secure, intelligent agents that act as a unified control plane across your entire ecosystem, enabling AI innovation without compromise.
Deploy AI features anywhere
Build your AI features once. Use Kamiwaza to securely deploy and manage them across any environment. Run inference in your cloud, your customer’s VPC, or even their on premise hardware — all orchestrated centrally.
Secure AI for R&D and IP analysis
Run AI models directly on your most sensitive source code, performance data, or research datasets where they live. Find bugs, optimize algorithms, or uncover insights without ever moving your intellectual property.
Automate internal AIOps & workflows
Connect your entire toolchain (Git, Jira, monitoring, logs, CRM). Deploy multi agent workflows to automate complex processes like intelligent incident response, CI/CD optimization, or cross functional reporting.
Enable secure customer AI
Offer powerful AI features within your product that run securely on your customer’s data in their environment. Kamiwaza handles the orchestration, allowing you to deliver value without forcing data centralization.
Built for the speed and security tech demands

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
