What is Context Engineering?

Context Engineering assembles relevant information around an LLM for reliable task completion. Unlike basic prompting, it dynamically integrates user preferences, conversation history, and business data.

Agents often fail due to missing personalized context. Zep solves this by automatically creating temporal knowledge graphs to organize and retrieve context for each interaction.

I really like the term "context engineering" over prompt engineering. It describes the core skill better: the art of providing all the context for the task to be plausibly solvable by the LLM.

+1 for "context engineering" over "prompt engineering". People associate prompts with short task descriptions you'd give an LLM in your day-to-day use. When in every industrial-strength LLM app, context engineering is the delicate art and science of filling the context window

How Zep Works

Zep transforms conversations, business data, & user interactions into a living knowledge graph that evolves with every interaction. Relevant and accurate context is automatically assembled into a context block when you need it.

1

Graph Construction

Automatic extraction of entities, relationships, and facts from conversations and business data, reconciling new information with existing data to maintain accuracy.

2

Relevant Retrieval

When your agent needs context, Zep searches the knowledge graph and returns the most relevant information.

3

Context Assembly

Zep delivers structured, LLM-ready context combining user traits, interactions, and business data while being token efficient.
