Technology Now · How agentic AI is powering smart cities and better public services | Robin Braun · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

I think the most obvious example comes to emergency response.

You have multiple entities, whether that be fire and police and emergency services, but you also think about in the wake of an emergency response, how many different groups and entities need to be coordinated together.

How do you much more easily start to make those connections?

And one of the things we also found is that sometimes it's just even the silo of the particular application.

So when we created a fire detection workflow in Vail,

We started with vision AI, you can detect fire, but how do you now get that to the fire department with contextual information?

It matters, is the wind blowing at five miles per hour or 50 miles an hour?

You may have a different response.

Is there a hazmat signal or a sign shown on like an overturned tanker?

You're going to show up with a different response than if it is something that's in a bin.

So I think it's really looking at what is that disparate information that historically we haven't necessarily connected, even going so far as we're talking about, can you show where the snowplow is going to be so that people can try to get their cars not run over by the snowplow?

It's so interesting when you start to open that aperture of what could change if you shared information, it really starts to change the approach.

Vail is such a delightful town to work with.

Absolutely wonderful people, amazing partnership, and such a beautiful area of the country.

So they are in the mountains of Colorado, about 12,000 feet above sea level.

They're a very small town.

They're known internationally for skiing, for being a mountain resort in the winter.

They have maybe 5,000 regular residents.

but that flexes up during the winter season by 50,000 a day.

So when I talk with their town manager, Russ, they have big city challenges, but in a small town footprint.
