AI agents are fundamentally different from traditional software. According to Ushur, treating AI agents like standard software—something to buy, configure, and “set and forget”—can create challenges, especially in regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, and insurance.

Growing a producer network across multiple US states is notoriously labour-intensive, and according to Producerflow, organisations often spend weeks manually tracking licences, managing renewals and navigating numerous state portals.

Traditional systems, particularly those using leak detection cables, have offered a relatively simple monitoring solution.
