Neudesic and IBM Unveil AI Field Assist: A New Agentic AI Solution Transforming Oil & Gas Field Operations

Irvine, Calif. — 3/3/26 — Neudesic, an IBM company, today announced the launch of AI Field Assist, an agentic AI field operations solution designed to help energy organizations improve safety, reduce downtime, and streamline asset intensive workflows using agentic AI. Built on Microsoft technologies and enhanced by IBM’s deep industrial expertise, AI Field Assist enables Oil & Gas operators to modernize frontline work and accelerate digital transformation across inspection, maintenance, and reliability operations.

AI Field Assist serves as an agentic reliability engineer, orchestrating end-to-end field tasks — from anomaly detection to repair to continuous learning — while empowering technicians with real-time insights, guided workflows, and automated documentation of field tasks — from anomaly detection to repair to continuous learning — while empowering technicians with real-time insights, guided workflows, and automated documentation.

A New Answer to Oil & Gas Operational Challenges

Oil & Gas organizations continue to face challenges tied to aging infrastructure, workforce shortages, safety pressures, and fragmented operational data. Neudesic and IBM Consulting developed AI Field Assist to address these pain points directly by combining:

• Agentic AI orchestration to automate and streamline work orders
• Contextual asset intelligence integrated with systems like Maximo, SAP PM, and Dynamics 365 Field Service
• Vision-based hazard detection for improved environmental and technician safety
• Real-time diagnostic reasoning based on manuals, SOPs, sensor data, and historical maintenance
• Autonomous reporting that automatically updates CMMS/EAM systems and compliance logs

“Energy field operations are ripe for scalable, responsible AI innovation,” said [Insert Neudesic or IBM executive]. “By pairing Neudesic’s applied AI engineering with IBM’s domain expertise and Microsoft’s cloud and AI technologies, we are delivering a breakthrough solution that directly addresses the industry’s most pressing operational needs.”

Built on Microsoft Technologies

AI Field Assist leverages Microsoft’s cloud and AI stack—including Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Search, Copilot Studio, and Azure IoT—to provide a flexible, scalable foundation for asset-intensive industries. These technologies enable the solution’s real-time reasoning, secure knowledge retrieval, agent-based orchestration, and integration with existing enterprise systems.

“Microsoft’s commitment to working with partners is helping drive digital transformation for people, organizations, and industries around the world,” said [optional/pre-approved Microsoft quote]. “Solutions like AI Field Assist show how partners can unlock new value for customers in critical infrastructure sectors.”

Delivering Measurable Impact

AI Field Assist helps operators achieve:

• Improved safety compliance and hazard mitigation
• Reduced Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
• Higher First Time Fix Rates
• Increased asset reliability and lifespan
• Streamlined reporting and regulatory readiness

Early adopters have reported stronger operational consistency, faster response times, and improved decision-making enabled by trusted, real-time AI insights.
