The Context Engineering Battle: Competing Visions for an Agentic AI Future 

What is the “context layer” for organizational AI, and what will it look like in the race to find value? 

Though autonomous AI systems are being deployed with greater frequency, there remains a persistent issue of a lack of business context, governance, memory, and decision intelligence. As a result, instituting a “context layer’ is critical to strengthen agentic AI capability. 

Vendor approaches are adapting to this new demand, but competing styles and evolving definitions promise varying degrees of sustained value. On July 15, Everest Group’s Mansi Gupta, Suseel Menon, Amardeep Modi, and Ross Tisnovsky will discuss why the battle to embed context as part of architectural design is a must-consider focus for executives as they pursue AI value.  

During this in-depth LinkedIn Live, we’ll discuss: 

• How the “context layer” is emerging as a critical enabler for scalable agentic AI 
• The different solution directions the market is taking 
• How technology ecosystems, governance, and orchestration models will evolve in the next phase of AI implementation
