In software development, the costliest mistake rarely lives in the code. It lives in the requirements that came before it.

Atlassian Bets That Context-Rich Agents Beat Context-Blind Ones

That context layer is what Atlassian said set Rovo […]
Twilio Takes On ‘Agent Amnesia’ So Customers Never Have to Repeat Themselves Again
