What is an interconnected file system?
An interconnected file system is a file system whose files hold references to other files, not just to the folder they sit in. A reference points straight from one file to another specific file it depends on.
Plain folders group similar things together, like all of one customer's notes in one place, but they don't connect that customer's file to the sales playbook or the product page an agent also needs. Without a reference, finding the rest of the relevant knowledge is left to whoever happens to remember it exists.
How does an interconnected file system differ from a file system?
A file system stops at grouping files into folders, while an interconnected file system adds a direct path from one file to the exact other files it depends on, so an agent reading a customer file lands on the playbook and the wording that file points to instead of searching separate folders.
How does an interconnected file system work?
Each file can hold a reference to another file's stable ID, so the connection between them survives a rename or a move to a different folder. An agent reading one file follows its references the way a person follows a link in a document, arriving at the exact other files that file depends on instead of searching a folder tree.
Qontext's context agents use these references to pull a customer's notes, the sales playbook, and company wording into a single request, so an agent drafting an email reaches interconnected context through one connection.
