Phaidra deploys AI agents for AI factories. Our two product lines cover both the facility and IT sides of traditional data centers and "AI factories."
Phaidra Prism is an LLM-first AI assistant to the on-site operations teams in mission critical facilities. The Prism platform identifies, prioritizes and provides actionable insights to any issues in the facility mechanical systems. This platform also includes an LLM for natural language interaction between ops staff and their BMS, CMMS and EPMS - unifying silod systems and providing a simpler way for operations staff to make better decisions, faster.
Phaidra Factory includes a line of purpose-built AI agents to orchestrate the power, cooling and workload management systems in AI factories. The first of these AI agents currently available is the Phaidra Factory DTC Liquid-cooling agent. This agent sits at the CDU controller and optimizes the TCS loop to deliver step function improvements in thermal stability, reliability and energy efficiency. This AI agent can be deployed across thousands of CDUs and dramatically reduces the thermal spikes that occur when AI workloads ramp up. Phaidras AI agents work to maximize tokens per watt and reduce the overall power needed for cooling, enabling more power for IT deployment.
Our co-founders and leadership team represent the combination of deep AI and machine learning expertise and data center operational experience from companies like Google-Deepmind and AWS with the applied knowledge of mission critical cooling systems from organizations like Trane Technologies and Johnson Controls. We are purpose-built for the data center industry.
