  "summary": "The article highlights the growing issue of inconsistent and fragmented enterprise knowledge as organizations increasingly deploy AI applications and agents. Traditional approaches to enterprise AI involve building context for individual applications, which includes connecting enterprise systems, generating chunks and embeddings, and assembling context for runtime. However, this model becomes inadequate as more AI applications are introduced, leading to inconsistency, difficulty in propagating changes, and duplication of effort. The author argues that these issues are not merely context engineering problems but rather knowledge management problems. To address this, the article proposes the development of an enterprise knowledge platform, akin to an enterprise data platform for structured data. This platform would manage enterprise knowledge once and publish reusable representations for every AI application, ultimately leading to more reliable and consistent AI agents.",
