(4) Click any topic to view full abstract & audience takeaways Most enterprise AI agents fail in production not because the model is weak, but because teams dump every PDF, wiki page, and Slack thread into a single vector database and force the LLM to resolve conflicting claims at query time. In this keynote, we dissect the five distinct layers of agentic context—Situation, Records, Memory, Process, and Canon—which move at different speeds and have different owners. You will see how pre-compiling structured datasets and documentation into human-verified topic outlines served over Context MCP slashes token costs, surfaces contradictory claims before deployment, and lets fast, inexpensive models outperform frontier models running on uncurated RAG. Key Audience Takeaways - →Why 'company brain' vector stores degrade into high-latency data swamps for customer-facing agents. - →How to separate Situation, Records, Memory, Process, and Canon in your architecture. - →Live demonstration of an outline-first Context MCP retrieval workflow using Sanity Knowledge Bases.
