Samsara Launches Agentic AI Capabilities to Automate Fleet Operations Tasks

Fleet and operations teams that still dedicate staff hours to paperwork, driver communications and vendor coordination have a new automation option from the telematics industry.

Samsara Inc., traded on the NYSE as IOT, launched Agent Studio on June 24, 2026, an AI agent-building environment inside its Connected Operations platform designed for physical operations teams without IT or developer experience. Users can deploy pre-configured agents or build custom ones from scratch, then toggle capabilities on or off, set permissions, monitor usage and configure settings from a central control dashboard.

Agent Studio ships with more than 15 pre-built templates spanning safety and maintenance workflows. Teams can also integrate their own policies and documents as a knowledge base, preview agent behavior before deployment and track outcomes through a performance dashboard.

“Samsara has spent the last 10 years deeply embedded in the world’s most complex physical operations, giving us unprecedented visibility into what’s happening on the ground,” said Johan Land, Chief Product Officer at Samsara. “In 2025 alone, we captured 25 trillion data points across the Samsara Network across vehicles, equipment, worksites, and operations. Now, customers can act on this insight by leveraging Samsara’s platform to fully automate workflows without extensive IT expertise.”

Three customer deployments illustrate the range already in use. A major food distributor runs a driver-assistance agent that answers parking, weigh-station, policy and escalation questions using dynamic location and company data, saving 30 minutes in communication time per call. A food bank uses a daily fleet briefing agent that gives ops teams a quick read on fleet status and vehicle inspection report compliance, saving hours of manual tracking each week. A field services company runs an assignment workflow that automatically identifies when a moving vehicle has an unknown driver and links trucks to staff, resolving insurance exposure and cutting dispatch radio time.

Derek Champagne, VP of Corporate Security, Asset Management and Housing at Grand Isle Shipyard, said his operation had been spending more than six figures a year on reporting and data compilation before automating those tasks. “Automation allowed us to reallocate both resources and talent toward higher-value initiatives,” Champagne said. “The real benefit isn’t just efficiency; it’s the ability to focus our people on solving bigger problems, driving innovation, and creating value that simply wasn’t possible before.”

“Agent Studio gives us the ability to look at our own daily processes and build to fix the gaps,” said Chris Hammock, Director of Transportation for Graceland Portable Buildings. “We can make small changes ourselves, which may save us hours, instead of entering the IT project queue. Further, agents will help take repetitive follow-up work off our team, speed up how we get status updates, and help us spend more time moving the business forward instead of chasing information.”

Samsara said additional product announcements from its Beyond 2026 event, including new tracking label capabilities for supply chain visibility and new AI camera capabilities for fleets and equipment operators, are detailed on the company’s blog, with ongoing updates available through its LinkedIn and X pages under the hashtag #SamsaraBeyond.
