Optibus announces it has introduced new capabilities to Optibus AI, that the company claims being the “first Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) suite purpose-built for public and private operators and agencies”.
Optibus AI features a growing number of industry-specific AI agents fully integrated across the platform. “Tools are embedded where and when transportation professionals need them most. With intelligence layers for every stage of work, agencies and operators can redefine planning, scheduling, and beyond with intuitive, platform-native capabilities”, the Israeli tech company states.
Optibus expands Artificial Intelligence skills
Optibus suite suite includes a Generative AI agent that uses natural language to create complex scheduling rules: “Schedulers type preferences in plain language, such as “No more than ten duties over nine hours,” and Optibus instantly generates accurate, ready-to-use logic. No more specialized coding, configuration, or steep learning curves. Just fast, intuitive scheduling powered by AI”, reads Optibus announcement.
Preference Designer is said as reducing errors and rule configuration time by up to 70%.
Additional AI agents are on the way, including Schedule Analysis, allowing to compare optimized scenarios and charting the best path forward, and persuade stakeholders with presentation-ready analysis and actionable insights. Optibus is also set to introduce Multi-Step Automation.
According to Optibus’ industry survey, 95% of public transportation enterprises have explored artificial intelligence, but only 8% noted measurable impact. Across industries, insufficient integration into existing workflows is a key cause of unsuccessful AI trials.
Amos Haggiag, CEO and co-founder of Optibus, said: “Generative AI is kicking-off a new chapter in how public transportation is planned and operated. Optibus AI turns decades of complex processes into simple, intuitive tools that empower teams at every level.”
