June 5, 2025 – The Digital Twin Consortium® (DTC) has announced the creation of an AI Agent Capabilities Periodic Table (AIA CPT). In a statement, DTC calls the AIA CPT “a comprehensive framework and the industry’s first standardized approach for evaluating AI agent systems based on actual capabilities.”
DTC said that the AIA CPT was designed to address “growing market confusion where systems with vastly different capabilities are labeled agents or agentic AI.” Organizations, DTC asserted, “can use the AIA CPT and DT CPT to evaluate integrated solutions combining digital twins with autonomous agent behavior.”
Dan Isaacs, GM & CTO at DTC, said, “The AI agent market faces the same evaluation challenges that digital twins encountered in their early days. Organizations struggle to compare vendors fairly and set realistic expectations for AI agent implementations. By applying our established capability-based assessment approach, we can help organizations make informed decisions about AI agent investments.”
DTC stated that AIA PT and DT CPT together “provide the means for a comprehensive assessment of intelligent system ecosystems” and allow organizations to “align AI agent capabilities with digital twin infrastructure requirements, identify and address capability gaps in integrated systems, design agents that effectively leverage twin data and models, and scale agent and digital twin capabilities independently while maintaining integration.”
