WTF IS THE CONTEXT LAYER?

Every vendor claims to be the context layer now. We cut through the noise and work toward a definition that actually holds up — with the people who coined the term.

Bring your questions.
We'll bring answers.

...or more questions

Context is having a moment. Every new startup, and legacy business, is now a context company. The LangChain CEO called context engineering the defining skill for AI. Even MIT published a piece on context being the single biggest reason for AI failures.

And in all of this noise, you're still left with real questions nobody's answering. This series is built to work through your questions, with guests who actually know what they're talking about.

What are your burning questions about the context layer?

EP 01WTF is the Context Layer?Tue, May 12 · 12 PM ET

Every vendor claims to be the context layer now. We cut through the noise and work toward a definition that actually holds up — with the people who coined the term.

QUESTIONS WE'LL TACKLE:

  • Where does a knowledge graph end and a context layer begin?
  • What does a context layer actually look like inside a real enterprise?
  • Who owns it — the data team, the AI team, or the platform team?

WTF is the Context Layer?

Every vendor, analyst, and framework has landed on "context" at the same time. But why now and what does it actually mean? Sanjeev Mohan gives his unfiltered take on what's real, what's hype, and what the industry is getting wrong.

QUESTIONS WE'LL TACKLE:

  • Gartner declared 2026 the year of context. Is the industry ready?
  • Knowledge graphs, semantic layers, data catalogs — we've tried this before. What's been missing?
  • Does context need its own layer, or are we building the next thing we'll spend a decade unwinding?
  • What is the industry getting dangerously wrong about context right now?
