Vegetation management enters the agentic age
The grid is under more strain than ever. Climate extremes are changing how vegetation fails, regulators want proof that VM spending works, and the experts who carry this knowledge are retiring fast. The data to manage it exists, but scattered across teams and systems. Seeing the risk is largely solved; turning it into the right action, fast and with the team you have, is not.
That gap is what agentic AI closes. For most of the last decade, software showed people information and waited for them to act on it. Agentic systems work the other way around: you set the intent, and the system reasons over your data, your context, and your tools to help you get there, while you stay in control.
Today we are taking the first step into that world. We are bringing an agent to your data, and your data to the agents your team already uses. Treeline, LiveEO’s vegetation intelligence solution used by utilities on all continents, has been designed from the data model up to empower agentic workflows. We are introducing the first agentic AI built into a vegetation management platform with two releases:
- The Treeline Agent. It takes over from wherever you are, picking up your current view, filters, and selection and carrying the task forward instead of starting from a blank slate. You can hand it context of your own, drawings, PDFs, photos, any file that sharpens the question. And it acts inside the app, down to raising the work order or creating a report.
- Treeline via MCP. Through the Model Context Protocol, Treeline now plugs into the agentic tools your team already works in, like Claude and ChatGPT. There, your network's vegetation intelligence sits alongside the other systems your organization runs, so it can be combined with the rest of the business's data and stop being a silo.
Both work inside your existing security model. They inherit each user's role-based permissions and stay within your tenant, so they can never surface data an account is not already entitled to see. Every answer is anchored in Treeline's field-validated network data, the most accurate in the market.
As the agents grow more capable, the loop that takes a planner weeks today (sense the risk, decide the work, dispatch the crew, prove it was done) moves closer to continuous. The result is a vegetation program that runs at the speed of the grid's risk rather than the inspection calendar, while dispersing vegetation intelligence across the wider organization. That is where we are taking Treeline.
The first version is rolling out now to a select group of early-access testers. Want an early look? Reach out to us.
