Aalo Atomics, a leading innovator in next-generation nuclear energy systems, has announced a major advancement in its collaboration with Microsoft. The two companies have successfully applied generative AI to streamline the nuclear permitting process, marking a significant step forward in accelerating the development of clean-energy infrastructure.
At the center of this collaboration is the rapid deployment of Microsoft’s Generative AI for Energy Permitting Solution Accelerator. Aalo Atomics used this technology along with advanced AI agents to refine and automate several complex regulatory and operational workflows across its nuclear manufacturing and deployment programs. This joint effort highlights how artificial intelligence can meaningfully reduce delays that often slow down large-scale clean-energy projects.

“Our collaboration with Microsoft demonstrates what’s possible when leading AI technology combines with leading engineering,” said Yasir Arafat, CTO of Aalo Atomics. “So far, we have tackled three of the most impactful challenges in the nuclear industry using AI to simplify, accelerate, and ultimately transform how complex energy systems are licensed, built and operated at scale. We look forward to continuing this collaboration with Microsoft.”
Moreover, the initiative earned global recognition during Microsoft’s annual Hackathon, where it won two awards celebrating both its technological innovation and real-world impact. These wins underscore the project’s potential to reshape how energy companies manage high-stakes regulatory processes.
“Aalo Atomics’ participation in the Microsoft Hackathon is a powerful example of how collaboration can accelerate innovation,” said Darryl Willis, Corporate Vice President Energy & Resources Industry at Microsoft. “Together, the team began developing AI agents that leverage rich internal and external datasets like design data and risk models to embed generative AI into Aalo’s workflows, boosting permitting speed and operational efficiency. We’re excited to scale these capabilities to help Aalo advance carbon-free, factory-built nuclear power.”

Building on this momentum, Aalo Atomics and Microsoft are now expanding the Generative AI for Permitting Solution Accelerator. Their focus is to integrate next-generation AI agents, ultimately moving toward a digital super-operator platform capable of transforming the way complex energy systems are designed, approved, and constructed. This platform aims to reduce friction in permitting while enabling faster, more reliable clean-energy deployment.
“Permitting remains one of the greatest bottlenecks in nuclear deployments,” added Jon Guidroz, SVP of Commercialization at Aalo Atomics. “By integrating Microsoft Azure AI Foundry and agentic AI technology, we’re turning regulatory complexity into actionable intelligence, bringing us closer to building the clean-energy future, faster than ever before.”
With this collaboration, Aalo Atomics and Microsoft are setting a new benchmark for how AI can modernize energy infrastructure development, offering a promising pathway toward more efficient and scalable carbon-free power solutions.
