This weekly update brings exciting news about AI agents helping cities work better and smarter. AI agents are smart computer programs that can do tasks on their own, like a helpful robot assistant.

The biggest story comes from Bellevue, Washington, where city workers now use an AI smart assistant to help with city planning. This AI helper can look up rules about building projects and write draft answers to questions from residents. The AI assistant works like three tools in one - it can chat, send emails, and even talk with voice. City workers still check everything the AI writes, but it saves them lots of time on boring paperwork tasks.

Experts say we're entering the "Agentic Era" of AI for building and fixing things in cities. This means AI agents will soon watch over digital twins - which are like computer copies of real bridges, roads, and water systems. These AI agents will spot problems and suggest fixes before things break down. This is much smarter than waiting for something to break first.

In traffic management, researchers found new ways for AI to fill missing traffic data in smart cities. When traffic sensors break or don't work, AI can guess what the missing information should be. This helps cities manage traffic jams and plan better roads.

Money is flowing into AI infrastructure like never before. Nvidia predicts cities and companies will spend up to $4 trillion by 2030 on AI infrastructure. This huge amount of money will build new data centers and computer systems that power AI agents.

Cities are also using AI to inspect important structures like water pipes and bridges. In Washington D.C., AI helps workers check these systems visually, finding problems faster than humans alone. This keeps cities safer and saves money on repairs.

The trend shows that AI agents are moving from just analyzing information to actually taking action. Instead of just telling humans what they found, these smart systems will soon help make decisions and even fix some problems automatically. This change will help cities run more smoothly and cost less money to operate.
