What is a Context Graph?+
A connected model of your organization’s engineering knowledge. It brings together entities—such as services, requirements, tickets, decisions, and environments—and the relationships between them. Claims retain their source evidence, so people and agents can inspect why a connection exists.
How is this different from searching documents?+
Search helps find a relevant passage. A graph also helps follow the relationships around it: the decision behind a requirement, the service that implements it, the work item tracking the change, and the deployment configuration it affects. Retrieval can use both the source material and those connections.
Can it include our internal tools and domain knowledge?+
Yes. Approved APIs, connectors, and parsers bring in the sources your organization uses. Custom schemas map your domain’s entities and relationships, while documents, standards, SOPs, and architecture decisions become structured, source-linked context. The integration scope is defined with your team.
What happens when two sources disagree?+
The disagreement is traced to the affected claims and linked artifacts. A reviewed decision can supersede outdated context while retaining the earlier evidence and change history. When the sources do not establish which claim is authoritative, the conflict needs review rather than an assumed answer.
Does updating the graph automatically change code or production?+
No. Updating context is distinct from executing a code change or a release. Agents can use the updated context to propose work, but code review, write permissions, and deployment approvals remain part of your workflow. Deployment configuration alone does not prove what is running.
How do we know the context is useful?+
Evaluate coverage, freshness, source traceability, conflict handling, and retrieval relevance. Then compare representative agent tasks using verified outcomes, time, and token usage. Activity counts show how the system is used; they do not independently prove accuracy or productivity gains.
Where does the context live?+
Potpie can run within your VPC, with approved source access and read-only defaults. Your team defines the data scope, integration permissions, and workflows that can write back. Book a demo to review the deployment and governance model for your environment.
