AquaAssist – Agentic AI for Water Utilities

Finabeo developed AquaAssist, a proof-of-concept Agentic AI platform for a UK water utility. The platform shows how AI agents working in coordination can cut costs, resolve customer issues proactively, and transform frontline operations.

Unlike generative AI that only answers prompts, Agentic AI agents perceive, plan, act, and learn — orchestrating workflows across multiple systems, with human oversight built in.
