abstract: Current enterprise AI relies on siloed context pipelines per application, not shared knowledge management. This causes inconsistent agent behavior, slow propagation of changes, and redundant engineering effort. The proposed solution is a layered enterprise knowledge platform — analogous to enterprise data platforms — that preserves, normalizes, connects, and publishes knowledge once for all AI applications.
