Applying AI agents to industrial operations with UptimeAI (Ep. 242)

About this episode

UptimeAI CEO Jagadish Gattu discusses the application of AI agents in industrial operations and the company's future plans.

San Francisco-based UptimeAI develops agentic software that can diagnose root causes of problems discovered in the industrial processes of energy, chemicals, manufacturing and utilities sectors. The solution-seeking software then recommends corrective actions and uses continuous learnings to adapt over time. Uptime AI CEO Jagadish Gattu joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys from the sidelines of CERAWeek to discuss how venture-backed UptimeAI can expand its clients' profit margins by applying its agentic software and why the company is working toward an eventual IPO.
