The Context Layer for AI

Your AI doesn't know your business. The context layer fixes that.

Build a shared understanding of your data, your business logic, and your institutional knowledge, and make it available to every AI tool you run.

The Enterprise Context Layer Architecture in Action

In this 45-minute session, watch how Atlan:

Mines knowledge, expertise, and norms from your existing stack, using 100+ connectors across your data platforms, BI tools, and systems of record

Builds and certifies a context layer through a development lifecycle, running evals against your real query history and tracing gaps to the exact missing definition

Deploys that context layer to any agent platform via MCP, APIs, or native integrations

Compounds autonomy over time: every correction sharpens the shared context, so the tenth agent is smarter than the first

CAPABILITIES

Everything you need in a context platform

Extract context automatically from the systems you already run

Connectors, Context Agents, and lineage tracing pull knowledge, expertise, and provenance out of your existing stack. No manual documentation required.

Authenticate your connectionScope what to bring inSchedule and start ingesting

Build and test a context layer before it reaches your agents

Context repositories, Git-like versioning, auto-generated tests, and production traces: the same engineering discipline you already apply to code, applied to context.

Every interface your agents and your people already use

MCP, knowledge graph traversal, vector search, and open APIs: one context layer, reachable however your stack needs to reach it.

Give your AI what it's been missing

TIME TO VALUE
12mo → Days

Context layer compresses agent testing from months to days. The first agent is the hardest: every one after gets faster as context compounds.

ACCURACY LIFT
5–10×

Context engineering dramatically raises agent accuracy. Simulate against real questions before production: find gaps before your users do.

TOKEN COST REDUCTION
75%

Without context, agents burn tokens searching everywhere. Context gives them a map: the agent didn't get smarter, it stopped guessing.

AGENT AUTONOMY
60 → 90%

Every human override is a signal. Feed corrections back into the context layer: autonomy compounds over time as the system learns.

PORTABLE CONTEXT
Open

Version-controlled context repos work across any agentic framework. Think GitHub for business context, not locked to one vendor.
