The first agentic AI smart city solution is here: Explore what’s possible

What comes to mind when you think of Vail, Colorado?

Ski slopes, mountain air, and postcard views.

But for the town of Vail’s leaders, the vision reaches further: creating a community that’s safer, more accessible, and more connected — using the power of artificial intelligence.

That vision is coming to life through the HPE Agentic Smart City Solution, supported by SHI, HPE, NVIDIA, and the Unleash AI Partner Program, with contributions from leading ISVs Kamiwaza AI, ProHawk AI, Vaidio, and Blackshark.ai. Together, these partners are delivering production-ready, secure AI solutions that cities can deploy and scale — not someday, but today.

AI for good: From possibility to blueprint

The HPE Agentic Smart City Solution reimagines what an AI-enabled municipality can look like. Rather than isolated pilots or single-purpose apps, it provides a unified framework where agentic AI coordinates multiple systems — from data analysis to resident engagement — across departments.

An agentic AI smart city:

• Applies the right intelligence at the right time to solve real-world problems.
• Securely connects infrastructure, applications, and data to deliver scalable services.
• Meets compliance and accessibility requirements while improving daily life for residents and visitors.

Built on HPE Private Cloud AI, developed with NVIDIA, and accelerated by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, the HPE Agentic Smart City Solution combines performance and control. Through SHI’s integration and lifecycle services, it arrives as a turnkey, repeatable model that any municipality can adopt — whether you’re improving safety, streamlining operations, or expanding digital access.

The Vail proof point

The town of Vail will be the first to deploy the HPE Agentic Smart City Solution — a proving ground for what’s possible when AI works in harmony across domains.

Initial applications demonstrate both breadth and depth:

• Fire prevention: Using ProHawk AI and Vaidio, camera networks will detect early signs of smoke and fire, enhanced by Kamiwaza’s agentic reasoning and Blackshark.ai’s geospatial mapping to assess risk before incidents escalate.
• Digital accessibility: A Kamiwaza-powered Section 508 solution will automate compliance across public websites and digital assets, ensuring inclusive access for all.
• AI concierge: An intelligent civic assistant will answer visitor and resident questions instantly — from parking to public events — through voice and text interfaces.
• Housing automation: AI will streamline deed-restriction compliance and reporting, turning hours of manual work into minutes.

These are just the starting points. The same agentic AI backbone can extend to traffic management, environmental monitoring, and dozens of future use cases — all using the same integrated infrastructure.

Ecosystem in action

No technology provider can deliver enterprise-grade AI alone. The HPE Agentic Smart City Solution showcases how ecosystem collaboration turns innovation into impact:

• SHI provides program leadership, integration, and the AI & Cyber Labs where cities can test and validate solutions.
• HPE delivers secure, scalable infrastructure foundation through Private Cloud AI, which is part of the NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio.
• NVIDIA accelerates workloads with RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs optimized for edge and data-center performance.
• Kamiwaza AI, ProHawk AI, Vaidio, and Blackshark.ai contribute specialized software that brings intelligence to accessibility, vision, reasoning, and geospatial domains.

Together under the Unleash AI Partner Program, this partnership creates solutions greater than the sum of our parts — AI that’s deployable, governable, and ready for real communities.

Why it matters

Cities everywhere are under pressure to do more with less — improving safety, managing resources, and meeting new compliance standards while budgets stay flat. The HPE Agentic Smart City Solution gives them a head start:

• Market opportunity: Municipalities can now adopt secure, scalable AI beyond pilots and proofs of concept.
• Differentiation: Leverage one of the first production-ready platforms for running multiple AI workloads on shared infrastructure.
• Customer impact: Deliver real-time, measurable outcomes — from faster emergency response to inclusive digital access.
• Strategic value: Demonstrate the power of the Unleash AI ecosystem to accelerate adoption across the public sector.

The art of the possible

For SHI’s AI & Cyber Labs, this is just the beginning. The same framework that will support the town of Vail can be replicated and customized for other municipalities — large or small — to explore new use cases, validate integrations, and scale AI with confidence.

“AI is helping accelerate the ability to create better digital access and process improvements,” said Jack Hogan, Vice President of Advanced Growth Technologies at SHI. “It’s about helping governments deliver more efficient systems — and agentic AI is making that real for smart cities.”

Building the blueprint together

The town’s HPE Agentic Smart City Solution deployment will be more than a milestone; it will be a model for what’s next. By combining vision, infrastructure, and ecosystem collaboration, the Unleash AI Partner Program is redefining what it means to build intelligent cities with purpose.
