The Brief

What H2O.ai does

H2O.ai offers a Sovereign AI Platform for running predictive, generative and agentic AI in the public cloud, a private cloud, on premises or fully air-gapped. It is aimed at heavily regulated organizations in financial services, the public sector, healthcare and telecommunications. At its center is the H2O AI Super Agent, which orchestrates predictive, generative and agentic AI with observability in one system, alongside h2oGPTe. Named features include multi-agent workflows, deep research, a tool and agent builder, a model-agnostic design that lets teams swap or fine-tune models, and governance through explainability, human-in-the-loop review and audit trails. Pricing is a single annual license based on compute and memory rather than per token, quoted through sales.
