Agent context and memory
Give every agent the memory of your business.
Agents share a persistent, permissioned memory of the business, the work, the user, and the evidence — so the next task, agent, or model begins with what the organization already knows. Context carries across sessions, models, and applications — permissioned for every request, grounded in evidence.

The work today
Every agent starts from zero — and rereads the same sources.
Context ends when a conversation ends, when work moves to another application, or when the model changes.
Isolated agent memory
- Every session begins with the background again.
- Each agent rereads the same sources.
- The decision lives in the tool that made it.
One shared memory
- Work memory carries the task forward.
- Evidence memory carries the citations.
- The decision is written back for the next task.
No repeated briefing. No isolated agent memory. No competing versions of the business.
The handoff
One task, four agents, one memory.
One task passes from diligence to finance to legal to memo; each agent reads and writes only the layer it needs, bounded by the deal lead’s own access.

Facts, sources, and open questions travel; the boundary travels with them.
Illustrative example
The four layers
Remember what matters. Deliver only what is allowed.
Assembled per request, so each agent has enough to act well and nothing the user could not open.
Business memory
Work memory
User context
Evidence memory
Memory follows the same per-request access decision as everything else — how each request is authorized and recorded.
Governed continuity across AI
Memory that follows the work — and respects the boundary.
Memory never becomes a shadow database that ignores access. When permission changes, the usable context changes with it. When evidence changes, later agents receive the current record. Every material claim remains traceable to its source.
- Persistent across conversations and sessions
- Shared across approved models, agents, and applications
- Scoped to the user and purpose
- Updated as sources and permissions change
- Grounded in cited enterprise evidence
Bring your business into every AI decision
Give every approved AI system the context to do its best work.
Connect the knowledge your organization already has. Preserve what it learns. Apply the permissions it already trusts. Make that understanding available wherever people and agents work.
