Building a Company Brain for AI - Jacob Dietle

Dela

Every time you explain your business to an AI from scratch, you’re repeating work. The opportunity with context engineering is to make your company’s expertise, processes, and past learning available whenever an agent needs them—so each new task builds on what you already know.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jacob Dietle—a consultant focused on context engineering and AI collaboration—to explore company brains, shared knowledge, and how to give agents the information they need to do useful work.

We discuss:

  • What context engineering means in practice
  • When to move beyond individual ChatGPT projects to shared company context
  • How existing knowledge bases fit into a company brain
  • Turning customer conversations into insights agents can reuse
  • Using skills, version control, and source evidence to manage context
  • How agents find information without loading everything at once
  • The challenges of keeping context useful across teams


Whether you’re building AI workflows for yourself or helping your company adopt agents, this conversation explores the decisions involved in organizing knowledge, choosing tools, and starting with practical use cases.
