The town of Vail, Colorado, is integrating an agentic AI platform across its municipal services to modernize its IT infrastructure and operations. This new platform unifies data from previously siloed departments—including housing, emergency services, and transportation—to provide real-time intelligence.

In public safety, this technology aids in faster emergency response and improved wildfire detection by analyzing drone footage and vegetation data. Additionally, the platform is notable for running on the town's existing solar and wind-powered data center, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable technology in government.
