Great article arguing that vector indexing is not enough. Companies need a context layer that unifies data, relationships, memory, and tools.
Here is the summary of everything you need:
• Unified, permission-aware data across systems • Retrieval tailored to each type of information
- Rank and filter context before it reaches the model • Build graphs and memory to retain relationships and learning • Tools so agents can act, not just retrieve
