Your data. Your models. Your agents.
The agent platform your team builds and runs together.
Ground every agent in your company's real data. Build them, share them, orchestrate them — on your cloud, with your model, under your permissions.
Your data, your infra. BYOC or run local — your call.
Contextful is local-first by default. Sensitive orgs and regulated teams can go further: bring your own cloud account, or run the entire stack on a laptop or internal cluster — fully air-gapped.
Managed, local-first
Desktop app holds an encrypted Parquet replica and a local Loro CRDT. Our cloud coordinates sync — it is never the source of truth. If we disappear, your data is still on your machines in open formats.
- Zero-ops onboarding
- Encrypted sync to your devices
- Works offline, syncs when online
Bring Your Own Cloud
Point Contextful at your AWS, GCP, Azure, or Cloudflare account. Storage, sync, and agent orchestration run inside your perimeter — under your IAM, your VPC, your audit log. We ship the control plane; your cloud holds the data.
- Data residency on your terms (EU / US / region of choice)
- Your KMS keys, your network policies
- BYOK for OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, or self-hosted models
Run Fully Local
For air-gapped, regulated, or offline-first teams. Hakiri runs on a laptop or internal cluster, Weaver syncs via self-hosted Durable Objects or direct peer-to-peer. No cloud dependency at all.
- True air-gapped deployment
- Local LLM inference (Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM)
- Open formats — Parquet, JSON, Markdown
A platform where agents are first-class citizens
Agents your team owns
Build, share, fork, and version agents like code. Every agent is a first-class object on the platform — versioned, permissioned, observable, and yours to run on any model.
Multiplayer by default
Humans and agents share the same workspace, the same context, the same audit log. Hand work between teammates and agents in one thread — with CRDT-backed sync that works offline.
Orchestrate, don't babysit
Compose agents into pipelines, route work between them, and let them call each other through MCP. Capability tokens scope every step — agents see only what their caller is allowed to see.
Open formats, your storage
Parquet on disk, Loro CRDT for sync, SQLite for catalog. Standard tools read your data — DuckDB, Pandas, Polars. No proprietary lock-in.
Typed connectors, one interface
WASM-sandboxed connectors for QuickBooks, Google Workspace, Slack, and 50+ tools. One context API across every source — built for agents, not chatbots.
Run on any model
BYOK for OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock. Self-host with Ollama, vLLM, or llama.cpp. Switch models per agent — without rewriting prompts, connectors, or permissions.
What teams build on Contextful
Open-source recipes — agent configurations, prompts, and connector wiring — that you fork, run on your own infra, and own end-to-end.
Month-End Close
An agent that tracks open items, flags discrepancies, and drafts reconciliation notes across your accounting stack.
Audit Prep
An agent that gathers evidence, maps controls to documents, and flags gaps before your auditor finds them.
Expense Policy Review
An agent that reads expenses against your policy doc, flags violations, and drafts approval notes.
Regulatory Change Tracking
An agent that monitors regulatory feeds, maps changes to your obligations, and alerts the right owners.
Vendor Risk Review
An agent that pulls vendor security questionnaires, compares against your requirements, and surfaces gaps.
Contract Renewal
An agent that monitors upcoming renewals, surfaces relevant context, and drafts review summaries.
From connectors to a team of agents in five minutes
Connect your sources
OAuth into QuickBooks, Google Workspace, Slack, and 50+ tools. Typed WASM connectors land your data as encrypted Parquet on disk.
Build & share agents
Fork a recipe or write your own. Version it, scope it with capability tokens, and share it with the team. Any MCP client — Claude Code, Cursor, your own — connects through the same interface.
Collaborate & orchestrate
Run agents alongside teammates in shared workspaces. Compose them into pipelines, hand off work, and watch every action land in the audit log with full provenance.
How is Contextful different from Glean, Dust, or Notion AI?
Most agent products are search boxes or chat surfaces over your SaaS data. Contextful is the platform layer underneath — the connectors your agents can write, the governance your auditors can verify, the data you can export today.
| Dimension | Glean | Dust | Notion AI | Contextful |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core metaphor | Enterprise search + assistant | Chat-first AI assistants | AI inside Notion docs | Platform for agents your team builds |
| Where data lives | Glean cloud (SaaS) | Dust cloud (SaaS) | Notion cloud (SaaS) | Local-first; BYOC or self-host; Parquet on disk |
| Custom connectors | Vendor-built; SDK on roadmap | Vendor-built catalog | Limited to Notion + a few apps | Agent-authored, typed contracts, hot-swappable |
| When upstream APIs change | File a ticket, wait | File a ticket, wait | N/A | Self-healing — agents propose patches the same day |
| Permission model | Inherits source ACLs in Glean's index | Per-agent scopes in Dust's cloud | Notion page permissions | Capability tokens scoped to org chart, per call |
| Bring your own model | Glean-managed | Multi-provider, hosted | Notion-managed | BYOK — OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Ollama, vLLM |
| Data export | Limited; via support | Limited; via support | Notion export | One command, today — Parquet + SQLite, open schema |
| Buyer fit | Enterprise ($30+/seat, 6-figure deals) | Mid-market & enterprise | Anyone on Notion | Regulated SMBs & teams that need their own perimeter |
Comparison reflects publicly documented capabilities as of 2026-06. Vendors evolve — your mileage will too.
