How Much Context Does an AI Agent Really Need?

Unified production context makes AI agents cheaper, faster, and easier to scale. In our live benchmark, resolving relationships before inference cut model-token usage by 83.5%, while reducing response time and estimated cost without changing the task outcome.

AI Context for Prod, Optimized by AIs in Prod

Annie (our AI SRE agent) had institutional memory from ACE, the agentic context-engineering loop that curates cheatsheets from past runs. It worked, but clients kept catching her trusting stale entries or missing answers buried in her own bloated context. So we added five things on top: (1) a fixed set of memory items always presented to the agent, (2) per-query retrieval over the rest of the memory store, (3) an agent-optimized index of that store, (4) the ability for the agent to query the store mid-run, and (5) tried-and-true memory freshness mechanisms. Production context, now optimized by the AI using it. Here's the reasoning and what a few weeks in production say.

How we turned on-call judgment into skills an AI agent can load

An AI agent in the incident channel can run kubectl and read a dashboard. What it can't do is judge whether the last deploy is the suspect or a red herring. We open-sourced the SRE skills that encode that judgment, runnable offline against fixtures with no credentials.
