Quick Overview (30 seconds)​

CitadelMesh is a multi-agent platform that makes commercial buildings intelligent and autonomous:

  • 🤖 AI Agents: Specialized agents for security, energy, and coordination
  • 🛡️ Safety-First: Every action validated by policies (no unsafe operations)
  • 🔌 Vendor-Neutral: Integrates with Schneider, Avigilon, EcoStruxure, and more
  • ⚡ Edge-First: Runs at the building, works offline, cloud coordination optional

Think of it as giving your building a nervous system and brain that can detect threats, optimize energy, and coordinate responses safely.
