At the 2025 Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, Openzeka is introducing a new era of intelligent urban management with the Cordatus SmartCity AI Agent — an advanced multimodal AI system that empowers cities to see, understand, and act in real time. This breakthrough technology turns massive streams of urban data into actionable insight, enabling faster decisions, safer streets, and more sustainable cities.

Modern cities generate massive volumes of data from cameras, sensors, and infrastructure — far too much for manual monitoring. The Cordatus SmartCity AI Agent acts as an intelligent digital operator, continuously interpreting this data to detect, classify, and summarize incidents such as traffic accidents, fires, floods, or illegal dumping.

Operators can interact naturally with the system — asking, “Show me congestion in Zone 3 this morning” or “Summarize fire-related incidents in the past week.” By automating perception and interpretation, Cordatus lets city teams focus on decision-making rather than surveillance.

Behind the Cordatus SmartCity AI Agent is a powerful orchestration of advanced technologies designed for scalability, flexibility, and real-time intelligence and based on the physical AI reference architecture, NVIDIA Blueprint for Smart City AI:

NVIDIA Metropolis – including NVIDIA Blueprint for video search and summarization (VSS) – Natural language video search and summarization, DeepStream SDK, VLMs, LLMs & NIM
Cordatus AI Platform – Low-code orchestration layer for scalable AI deployment
NVIDIA Omniverse – Real-time simulation and digital twin visualization

Cordatus can be deployed in the cloud, on-premises, at the edge, or in hybrid setups to match operational needs.

Let’s look closer to the technologies SmartCity AI agent relies on.

The NVIDIA Video Search and Summarization (VSS) framework transforms how cities interact with visual data. Powered by generative AI, VLMs, and LLMs, it enables operators to search and summarize hours of video in seconds — simply by asking questions in natural language.
VSS combines real-time and batch video analysis with intelligent event tracking, object detection, and automated alerting. It can process video 100× faster than manual review, giving cities instant visibility into what matters most — from traffic congestion to emergency response

Event Reviewer adds a critical layer of context and reasoning to traditional CV pipelines. Instead of analyzing every stream continuously, it activates only when a potential event is detected — verifying, summarizing, and explaining the situation in plain language.

This on-demand intelligence reduces false positives, cuts compute costs, and brings human-like reasoning to the edge. Ideal for bandwidth-limited or privacy-sensitive environments, Event Reviewer runs efficiently even on compact edge systems such as NVIDIA Jetson Thor.

At the core of the SmartCity AI Agent is Cordatus AI Platform — Openzeka’s scalable AI operating layer. Cordatus allows cities and enterprises to:

• Deploy multimodal AI (CV, VLMs, LLMs) without deep technical expertise
• Manage and optimize distributed AI workloads from edge to cloud
• Dynamically scale compute with NVIDIA DYNAMO and DeepStream SDK
• Seamlessly integrate NVIDIA technologies for performance and efficiency
• Cordatus is where AI orchestration meets real-world operations — turning complex infrastructure into a simple, powerful control layer.

By integrating with NVIDIA Omniverse, Cordatus brings the city to life in a living digital twin. This real-time 3D replica reflects sensor data, AI detections, and operational status — creating a single pane of glass for city management.

City leaders can visualize incidents, simulate responses, and forecast scenarios — from traffic redirection to flood control — all in real time. The SmartCity AI Agent becomes an interactive assistant, enabling cities to shift from reactive to predictive management.
