Brivo Genius Mobile Agent App Uses AI for Faster Lockdowns

Brivo has added voice-activated capability to its mobile access control platform, enabling security teams to trigger emergency lockdowns and perform other access control tasks with spoken or typed commands. The Brivo Genius Mobile Agent, now available in early release, adds conversational artificial intelligence (AI) to the Brivo Access Mobile App, the company announced. 

The company said it is the first physical security technology provider to offer users the ability to instantly execute critical security actions — from site-wide emergency lockdowns to routine business settings — through simple voice or text commands.

The mobile agent uses natural language navigation powered by AI and is built directly into the mobile app. Brivo said the voice-activated interface is designed for crisis situations where stress can make it difficult for administrators to remember passwords or locate seldom-used features such as lockdown, allowing commands to be executed immediately and saving critical time during emergencies.

Steve Van Till, CEO, at Brivo, said natural language interfaces are becoming the user experience of choice and that expanding AI capabilities reflects how physical security is evolving from a cost center to a strategic business enabler. He added that the company continues to develop AI tools that allow administrators to manage operations and improve safety outcomes with the simplicity of voice.

The mobile agent uses natural language navigation powered by AI, and is built directly into the mobile app. Brivo said the voice-activated interface is especially important in crisis situations where stress can make it hard for an administrator to remember passwords or locate seldom-used features such as lockdown. Brivo Mobile Agent executes voice commands immediately, saving what the company described as critical time in emergencies.

Integrated with other AI-driven security tools such as Eagle Eye Gun Detection within the Brivo Security Suite, the mobile agent lets administrators use commands like “Activate Full Lockdown” to start emergency access protocols and respond to threats right away.

Brivo said the new capability also supports broader facility and business operations. Features include confirming actions via the AI agent before they are carried out to help avoid mistakes, automatic logging of commands for audit and compliance, natural-language management of remote access and multi-factor authentication settings, and easier execution of daily tasks such as unlocking doors and filtering events.
