Merge Launches Universal Context Layer: A Company Brain for Every AI Agent
shensi · x · 2026-09-10
Merge CEO Shensi Ding introduces the Universal Context Layer, a "company brain" any AI tool or agent can draw on:
- The problem: runaway token spend is a symptom — employees spend as much time setting up AI tools with context as using them, and knowledge taught to one assistant never transfers to another.
- How it works: Merge syncs and vectorizes company data ahead of time, so agents query a pre-indexed knowledge base instead of firing live API calls, cutting token cost while raising accuracy.
- Permissions: knowledge sharing stays within each employee's existing access rights.
