What Is Company Context?
Company Context is a shared, structured document about your company that every agent across your workspace can draw on automatically. It is controlled by an organization's administrators.
How It Gets Created
When your company is set up on elvex, the system researches your organization and generates an initial Company Context document automatically. It does this using web search and public sources, looking up your company's mission, industry, market position, competitive landscape, customers, and more.
The result is a structured document your agents can immediately use. No manual setup is required to get started.
How It Gets Updated
elvex administrators should review and edit their company context both at launch and on an ongoing basis. This is auto-generated document as a starting point. Because it's built from public sources, it won't know things that aren't publicly available — your internal processes, organizational structure, how your teams actually work, or company knowledge that lives in people's heads.
Company Admins can review the document, correct anything that's inaccurate, and add internal context that agents will benefit from knowing. This is where Company Context becomes most valuable: when it combines what's publicly known with what only your organization knows.
Every update is versioned, so you can see the full history of changes and restore any previous version.
Examples of Company Context
Company Context can explore multiple areas:
Your Company: Things like your brand identity, mission, strategic initiatives, org structure, institutional knowledge, what markets you're targeting, or lessons learned from past decisions.
Your market: Things like your competitive landscape, customer segments, industry trends, and ecosystem relationships. It could also include things like who your key competitors are, how your customers are segmented, or how macroeconomic shifts might affect your business.
Your tools: integrations you've connected to elvex, how you'd like users to use them and what they should use them for.
How Agents Use It
At the start of each new conversation, eligible agents automatically retrieve Company Context before responding, the same way they retrieve Personal Context. It happens in the background, without any prompting on your part.
This means agents can answer questions with an awareness of your industry, your customers, and how your organization operates, without you having to explain it each time.
Permissions
Viewing Company Context is available to ALL users in your organization. Editing requires an Admin or Owner role.
What Company Context Isn't
It doesn't replace agent-specific instructions or system prompts; those take precedence
It doesn't restrict what agents can discuss; it informs their responses, not their behavior
It doesn't stay current automatically. If something significant changes at your company, an admin should update the Company Context section.
