Their job is to fine-tune data center operations with a focus on cooling the electronics — which typically accounts for 30% of a facility’s energy use, ranking second to the power required for the data processing operations. They’re tracking temperatures, voltages, the spinning of pumps and other infrastructure to understand how well the center is operating.
The company’s AI agents operate autonomously and evolve through reinforcement learning — observing outcomes, adapting and improving. The startup cuts energy use from cooling by 25% through its technology. The savings matter.
