Inside the Context Engine: grounding without leakage
Agents hallucinate when they're ungrounded. But wiring every data source securely — with the right schema, semantics, and access rules — is its own project. Here's how we approach it.

Grounding is the unglamorous work that decides whether an agent is useful. The Context Engine connects to your data where it lives and answers questions against it — without moving it or exposing credentials.
From question to validated query
Schema and semantics are cataloged, so generated queries match your real tables and business meaning. A governed pipeline then generates, reviews, fixes, and validates SQL before a single query executes.
- First-class connectors: Postgres, Salesforce, Gmail, Office 365, Drive, Slack, plus CSV/Excel.
- Credentials resolve from env, file, or your secret manager at connect time.
- Every query flows through the deterministic execution layer — inspectable and replayable.
The result is retrieval that respects your permissions and your schema, so the agent reasons over facts, not guesses.
