VODA.ai ADVISOR
VODA.ai Advisor brings expert-level AI water decision support into VODA.ai. It goes beyond a typical AI assistant: you ask in plain language, and Advisor explains what matters, recommends the next step, and does the work in the software.

The challenge
Every utility is running the same math: more capital needs, the same headcount, and every decision has to hold up in a public meeting. The hard part is the how. That is where an AI assistant for water utilities helps.
WHAT IT DOES
VODA.ai Advisor brings conversational AI for water utilities into the software your team already uses.
Expert guidance
Ask about risk, condition, prioritization, planning, or anything else your team needs to work through. VODA.ai Advisor answers the way a senior engineer would: what matters, why, and how it should shape your next step.
AGENTIC AI
VODA.ai Advisor knows how VODA.ai works and has context on what you are viewing. It takes you to the right screen, applies the right settings, and enters your inputs, all in one conversation.
EVERY WORKFLOW
From pipe risk and replacement planning to condition assessment, logger placement, meter analytics, and lead service line inventories, VODA.ai Advisor guides you across every VODA.ai workflow.
BUILT FOR WATER UTILITIES
VODA.ai Advisor is grounded in utility-specific guidance. It draws on water industry knowledge and the VODA.ai knowledge base, it knows how VODA.ai works and the approach behind it, and it has context on what you are viewing in the software. When the answer sits outside your system, it can search the internet. When it can’t complete a request yet, it tells you.
HOW IT WORKS
Whether you are exploring a concept or building a full plan, it works the same way. Ask anything about your network or the water industry, and VODA.ai Advisor can even search the internet for real-time information.
Step 1
Ask
Ask in plain language, about anything from a single concept to a full plan.
Step 2
Understand
VODA.ai Advisor explains what matters, recommends the next step, and asks for anything it needs.
Step 3
Act
VODA.ai Advisor takes you to the workflow, applies settings, and does the work. You review and decide.
DECISION CONFIDENCE
VODA.ai Advisor is decision support, not autopilot. It recommends ways to check your results, such as heat map overlays, pipe-level queries, and scenario comparisons. The decision stays with you.
WHY WE BUILT IT
“Expert guidance shouldn’t need to wait for an expert. With VODA.ai Advisor, it’s there the moment your team needs it.”

CEO & Co-founder VODA.ai
FAQ
VODA.ai Advisor is conversational and agentic AI for water utilities, built into VODA.ai. It brings expert guidance to water asset decisions. Users ask in plain language, and VODA.ai Advisor connects each question to utility-specific guidance, the right workflow, and a clear next step.
Likelihood of Failure (LOF) describes how likely a pipe is to fail. Consequence of Failure (COF) describes how serious the impact of that failure would be. Business Risk Exposure (BRE) combines the two into one measure of overall risk. VODA.ai Advisor explains what each metric tells you and when each one should lead your prioritization. For a deeper explanation, read our LOF vs COF vs BRE guide.
VODA.ai Advisor is grounded in utility-specific guidance, not general web content. It draws on industry practices curated by people who run water utilities, the same approaches experienced engineers rely on to make sound decisions. It also uses the VODA.ai knowledge base, so it knows what VODA.ai does, how the software works, and how VODA.ai approaches the problems utility engineers face. It has context on what you are viewing in the software, and it can take actions inside it. When VODA.ai Advisor can’t complete a request yet, it tells you, instead of sending you down the wrong path.
Yes. VODA.ai Advisor can take actions in supported workflows inside VODA.ai, not only explain them. It can take you to the right screen, apply settings such as your priority metric, and enter inputs such as budget and planning horizon. For example, a user can ask VODA.ai Advisor to create replacement projects. VODA.ai Advisor asks for the budget, pipe type, and timeframe, fills in the replacement dialog, and returns the projects on the map. The user reviews the results and makes the decision.
You can ask VODA.ai Advisor about asset management, condition, risk, prioritization, planning, and projects. Questions can be about concepts (“Help me understand how RUL should be used when prioritizing pipe replacement”), about the software (“Where can I change my priority metric?”), or requests for action (“Help me build replacement projects”). You can also ask how to validate your results. VODA.ai Advisor recommends approaches such as heat map overlays, pipe-level queries, and scenario comparisons. When you need current or external information, VODA.ai Advisor can search the internet.
No. VODA.ai Advisor gives everyone at a utility access to expert guidance inside the software. Users ask in plain language, the way they would ask a colleague. When VODA.ai Advisor needs more information, such as budget, pipe type, or timeframe, it asks follow-up questions. Users get guidance without waiting on a power user, a support contact, or a consultant. Senior knowledge reaches every user of the software, not only the power users, and users learn as they go through the chat.
No. VODA.ai Advisor is water utility decision support AI, not an autopilot. It explains the options, recommends the next step, and does the work in supported workflows, such as applying settings and building projects. It also helps users validate results with approaches such as heat map overlays, pipe-level queries, and scenario comparisons. The team reviews the results and makes the final call, with a clearer path from question to a defensible decision.
VODA.ai Advisor is available now to VODA.ai customers. [TBC: all customers or specific tiers] VODA.ai Advisor is built for water utility engineers and directors, and for the engineering consultants who support them. To see VODA.ai Advisor in action, book a demo with VODA.ai’s water experts.
An AI assistant for water utilities lets utility teams ask questions in plain language and get guidance grounded in water industry practice. Unlike a general-purpose chatbot, it is built around utility concepts such as asset risk, condition, and replacement planning. Used well, AI for water utilities is decision support: it helps teams understand their options and act faster, while engineers keep the final call. VODA.ai Advisor is built into VODA.ai, so it can also take users to the right workflow, enter inputs, and build projects in the software.
Expert-level decision support for faster, more confident decisions.
