What is an enterprise context layer?
An enterprise context layer is the version of a context layer built for an organization with many teams, tools, and AI agents running at once, not just one workflow or one department. It aggregates context from every connected source across the company and makes it available under one consistent set of access controls, so a sales agent, a support agent, and an internal tool all draw on the same governed knowledge instead of each team wiring up its own copy.
How does an enterprise context layer differ from a context layer?
A context layer is the general concept: infrastructure that sits between raw data and AI agents. An enterprise context layer is that same idea under the constraints a large organization actually has, dozens of data sources, multiple business units, and strict rules about which group or agent can see which piece of information. A single team can run a context layer with one shared set of permissions; an enterprise needs the same layer to enforce different permissions for different groups over the same underlying knowledge, and to keep an auditable record of who touched what.
How does an enterprise context layer work?
It pulls context from every connected source across the company, resolves the same entity showing up differently in different systems into one record, and applies access controls per user and per group, not just per tool. Qontext's context repository implements this as a graph-based, versioned, and access-controlled structure, so scaling to more teams and more agents means connecting more sources into the existing context layer.
