AI systems need more than intelligence; they need context that persists. Without it, even strong models can misinterpret information, lose decision rationale, or repeat the same mistakes. Context Graphs have emerged as a practical pattern for agentic AI: a living graph that captures not only what was retrieved or known, but how context led to actions through tool calls, constraints, policies, and outcomes, stitched across entities and time so precedent becomes searchable.
This talk explores context engineering as the discipline of designing that context layer, and shows how context graphs complement retrieval by enabling multi-hop, structured context assembly (building on GraphRAG-style hierarchical summaries) while improving explainability and evaluation. Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of how to build context pipelines that combine contextual retrieval with persistent memory and provenance, and why context graphs are becoming central to trustworthy, enterprise-ready AI systems.
