Who we are
VODA.ai uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help water utilities predict which of their pipes are going to fail or have lead. There are 240,000 pipe breaks each year and millions of people without fresh water, so we are doing something about it. Our software uses our proprietary, built-in-house AI and is used by water utilities and municipalities to help them create better engineering and operations decisions. We’re built by water people for water people.
VODA.ai was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Boston, MA. We have a multi-award-winning solution and customers worldwide. Read more about us at voda.ai/about.
