Unstructured data killed my AI agent. Now what?
Picture the smartest new hire you've ever met: perfect memory, never sleeps, reads ten thousand pages a minute. Now hand her ten years of unlabeled contracts, call transcripts, and poorly scanned PDFs, and ask her a single precise question. Watch her freeze. That's your AI agent. The fix isn't a smarter model, it's smarter preparation: the same discipline you'd use studying for an exam, where good notes and a solid index let you answer five questions or five hundred with equal ease, over any amount of data, anytime. We'll trace how we got here, hear a real world account from Vanguard, see an example of AI context live.
