How Does Building Smart Cities With Digital Twins and Agentic AI Work?

A smart city is like a toy town that can think and change by itself, using digital twins and agentic AI, which are like its brain and helpers.

Imagine your bedroom has a robot friend who knows everything about you. That’s like a digital twin, it's a copy of something real, like a city or a building, made on the computer. It shows what’s happening in real time, just like how your robot friend knows when you’re playing with toys or taking a nap.

Now, think of agentic AI as a group of clever helpers who can make decisions and solve problems, like how your robot friend helps you find your lost sock. These helpers use the information from the digital twin to do things like fix traffic lights when they're broken or tell you when it's going to rain so you can take an umbrella.

• The digital twin watches and learns about the city, just like you learn new games.
• The agentic AI uses that information to help the city run smoothly, like how your robot friend helps you win every game.
