# What is company context?

> Company context is the reusable working memory of a business.

Company context includes the decisions, conventions, caveats, runbooks, sources, and permissions an AI agent needs before it can act safely.

Ambience turns this context into governed memory for approved agents.

## Why Ambience

- Company context is created by work, not documentation alone.
- It lives across calls, tickets, PRs, docs, Slack threads, and agent sessions.
- Ambience stores it with source, scope, redaction, and audit.
