THE PYRAMIDTM for Agentic AI is presented by AI Lead Advisor Scott Nelson. It illustrates the structural evolution of the agentic ecosystem - showing how vendors and platforms differentiate based on their maturity, influence, and acceleration potential. The vertical dimension represents depth of capability and market integration, moving from foundational orchestration and automation at the base to advanced, adaptive intelligence at the apex.
The horizontal axes depict two directional forces shaping the market: Performance Index on one side, representing established platforms with scale, governance, and enterprise-grade reliability; and Strategic Index on the other, representing fast-moving innovators driving experimentation, agility, and new use cases. Together, the pyramid conveys how the market is converging toward an intelligent integration layer where automation, orchestration, and autonomy intersect - signaling that the future of AI-driven enterprises will depend as much on connectivity and control as on cognitive sophistication.
The difference maker for this market is the customer experience and is shown with the green striped triangles. Solution providers in this space need to be able to help clients by hand holding them through a challenging transition."
