KnowledgeLayer 3Context Assembly

Context Package Assembly

Someone emails your team with a question. The person who responds pulls up the email.

Just the email. No history. No account info. No previous tickets.

They reply based on what they can see. The customer gets frustrated: 'I already explained this three times.'

Meanwhile, the information exists. It's just scattered across five different systems.

The answer was there. Nobody assembled it.

What It Is

Building the complete picture before anyone has to act

Context package assembly is the work that happens before a decision gets made. It pulls together everything relevant from wherever it lives: the customer record, the conversation history, the relevant documentation, the related tickets. You assemble the package so whoever or whatever acts next has the full picture.

Without it, every response starts from scratch. With it, the first response can be the informed response. The difference between 'Let me look into that' and 'Based on your history with us, here is exactly what happened.'

Get it wrong and people waste time hunting for context. Get it right and decisions happen with full information from the start.

The Lego Block Principle

Context package assembly solves a universal problem: how do you ensure whoever handles a request has everything they need without asking for information that already exists?

The core pattern:

Identify what context is needed for this type of request. Define where each piece lives. Pull it together automatically when a request arrives. Structure it so the handler can actually use it. The result: complete context delivered before anyone has to go looking.

Where else this applies:

Handling incoming requests - Automatically pull account history, past interactions, and relevant documentation when a new ticket arrives.
Preparing briefings - Assemble meeting context from CRM notes, recent emails, and project status before a call.
Onboarding handoffs - Package everything a new team member needs about an account or project in one place.
Decision support - Gather all relevant data points before presenting options to a decision maker.
Interactive: Build the Context Package

Toggle sources and watch the response change

A request just came in. Click each source to include it in the context package. Watch how the possible response improves with more context.

Incoming Request
From: jamie@acmecorp.com
Invoice looks different this month?
Hi, I just received our December invoice and it looks completely different from before. Did something change? The total seems right but I want to make sure.
Context Sources
Generic Response

"Let me look into that for you. Can you tell me more about the issue?"

Try it: Toggle the context sources to include them in the package. Watch how the response quality changes as you add more context.
How It Works

Three phases that turn scattered data into assembled context

Define What Context Is Needed

Map the information requirements

For each type of request, define what context makes the response better. A billing question needs payment history and plan details. A technical issue needs system status and recent changes. Be explicit about what helps and what is just noise.

Pro: Ensures relevant context without overwhelming
Con: Requires upfront analysis of request types

Connect the Sources

Build the data retrieval layer

Each piece of context lives somewhere. Connect to those sources so you can pull data on demand. The CRM for account info. The ticketing system for history. The knowledge base for documentation. Build the pipes that let you fetch what you need.

Pro: Enables automatic context gathering
Con: Depends on API access to source systems

Structure for Consumption

Make context actually usable

Raw data dumps do not help. Structure the assembled context so the consumer (human or AI) can actually use it. Summarize long histories. Highlight what changed recently. Put the most relevant information first. Context is only valuable if it is digestible.

Pro: Makes context actionable, not just available
Con: Requires understanding how consumers use context
Connection Explorer

Assemble everything the responder needs before they even look

This flow turns "let me look into that" into "here is everything you need." When a request arrives, context assembly automatically gathers account info, past interactions, and relevant documentation so the first response can be the informed response.

Common Mistakes

What breaks when context assembly goes wrong

Don't assemble everything just because you can

You pulled every piece of data connected to this account. 47 pages of context for a simple password reset. The person handling it spent more time wading through context than solving the problem.

Instead: Match context depth to request complexity. Simple requests get minimal context. Complex ones get the full package.

Don't assume assembled context stays fresh

You assembled the context when the request came in. Three hours later, someone responds. In between, the customer called and updated their information. The response used stale context and made things worse.

Instead: Add timestamps to context. For time-sensitive requests, refresh context before acting or flag when it might be stale.

Don't structure context for machines when humans consume it

The context package was perfect JSON. Structured, complete, machine-readable. The human looking at it could not find the one piece they needed buried in nested objects.

Instead: Structure context for the actual consumer. If humans read it, make it scannable. If AI processes it, make it parseable. Different consumers need different formats.

What's Next

Now that you understand context package assembly

You've learned how to gather scattered information into usable context packages. The natural next step is understanding how that context gets used for intelligent routing and response generation.
