Context Graphs Give AI Agents Rules, Precedent, and Decision Traces
In a Neo4j talk, Zaid Zaim and Andreas Kollegger argue that AI agents need more than language models, tools, and retrieval if they are to make consequential decisions. Zaim frames context graphs as a way to store the policies, prior decisions, causal links, and reasoning traces behind an action; Kollegger extends that into a five-stage decision workflow in which agents frame the case, check rules and precedent, assess risk, act only within authority, and write the outcome back to the graph as future precedent.
