Samsara launches AI agent platform for physical operations
Samsara has launched a no-code platform for building AI agents for companies that manage vehicles, equipment, workers and sites.
The San Francisco-based company says adoption on its platform has grown sevenfold since June as customers use AI for more tasks.
These include compiling reports, finding ways to save fuel and flagging possible compliance problems.
The agents use operational data to identify issues and take action, rather than waiting only for a person to ask a question.
One food company’s agent, for example, tracks driving and shift time to flag a risk before a driver breaks hours-of-service rules.
Samsara says the platform is now available to all customers, who can use prebuilt agents or create custom chat and voice agents.
The company says this can reduce manual work and help staff focus on other problems.
Samsara announced the launch of Agent Studio, a no-code AI agent platform designed for physical operations.
The platform is available to all Samsara customers and offers prebuilt agents and tools to build custom chat and voice agents.
Samsara said adoption of AI agents on its platform has increased sevenfold since June.
Customer uses include preparing reports, identifying fuel savings, flagging compliance risks and answering drivers’ questions.

What people are saying
AI is quickly adopted when it’s useful, and in physical operations that means an agent has to understand the operation and meet people where the work happens
We were spending more than six figures a year on reporting and data compilation, work that’s now fully automated
