Context

Context is your team's knowledge library — information the Riff agent draws on when helping you build and when your agents run their jobs.

Context is your team's shared knowledge library. The Riff agent refers to it when answering questions in Ask Riff, when building in the App builder, and when your agents run their tasks.

What you see

The Context tab shows your knowledge library as a browsable, searchable list. Entries are organised by domain and category. Click any entry to expand it and read its full content.

Use the search bar to find entries by name or content — search is semantic, so you can describe what you're looking for rather than matching exact words.

How knowledge gets in

Knowledge is added by the Riff agent — not manually. As the Riff agent works with your data and integrations, it identifies information worth saving (supplier details, business rules, terminology, process notes) and surfaces it as a suggestion.

Pending suggestions appear as a section in the Context tab. Each suggestion shows what the agent proposes to save and why. You decide what to keep:

• Click Add to confirm — the entry joins your knowledge library

• Click Dismiss to skip it

You cannot paste, upload, or write entries directly. The Riff agent is the route in.

What knowledge entries contain

Each entry has a name and content (written in plain text or markdown). Entries may also have optional metadata — including tags, source, and update frequency — which the Riff agent sets when it creates them.

How the Riff agent uses Context

The Riff agent does not automatically load your entire Context library into every response. Instead, it searches Context on demand — when it determines that background knowledge would help it answer a question or complete a task more accurately.

You can ask the Riff agent to search Context explicitly: "Check what we know about Acme Logistics before drafting this email."

Keeping Context useful

Context is most valuable when it reflects your current business reality. Review your library periodically — especially when supplier relationships change, processes update, or new ERP reference data is introduced. Ask the Riff agent to update or retire entries that are no longer accurate.
