Download this report to see why:
- The market is evolving from initial RAG infrastructure into enterprise context platforms for agentic AI.
- Context platforms are emerging as the semantic and retrieval layer that grounds enterprise agents with source-attributable information.
- Reusing semantic assets across agents improves time to value.
- By 2028, the majority of enterprises running AI agents in production will standardize on a dedicated context platform rather than build and govern context separately for every agent.
Why Stardog believes this report is essential for your AI strategy.
As enterprises scale production agents, leaders responsible for AI should implement AI context platforms to develop context into a first-class enterprise asset, rather than rebuild it separately for every agent. Gartner defines AI context platforms as software that enables data and AI engineering teams to construct, govern, and deliver semantically organized knowledge to AI agents and other AI applications and services.
- Enterprise agents are now being used for mission-critical use cases with little room for hallucination.
- AI agents need governed, domain-specific, source-attributable context to operate reliably.
- Without staged, preconnected context, reasoning models burn tokens to make sense of disconnected data, driving up cost and response latency.
- Context platforms reduce overhead by resolving relationships, permissions, and reusable semantic information ahead of queries.
- Stardog is included as an Example Vendor for AI context platforms in the current market landscape.
