Context Modeling: Future of Personalized AI
Toward AI That Truly Understands You: Why Rule-Based Context Engineering Isn't Enough
Have you been using ChatGPT to write emails and need to copy the same context over and over again? Do you have files and conversations scattered across 50 ChatGPT conversations that you cannot find?
If you have such problems, DeepVista is for you. DeepVista helps you track all the context across all conversations you have. Remembers them when you need them, and gives you on-point messages.

The Limitations of Current RAG Systems
Today's Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems follow a relatively straightforward paradigm. They retrieve relevant information using rule-based systems—typically employing cosine similarity to find the top-k most relevant results—and then present this context to a large language model for processing.
From Engineering to Modeling: A Paradigm Shift
The conventional approach of context engineering focuses on creating more sophisticated rules and algorithms to manage context retrieval. However, this misses a crucial opportunity. Instead of simply engineering better rules, we need to move toward context modeling—a dynamic, adaptive system that generates specialized context based on the current situation.
Learning from Recommendation Systems
The architecture for context modeling draws inspiration from the well-established two-stage recommendation systems that power many of today's most successful platforms.
The Context Modeling Solution
Adaptability: Unlike rule-based systems, context models can learn and adapt to new patterns and user behaviors over time.
Personalization: These models can be trained on user-specific data, creating truly personalized AI experiences.
Efficiency: By using smaller, specialized models for context generation, the system maintains efficiency.
Developer Control: Context modeling provides agent developers with a trainable component they can influence and improve.

The Infrastructure Opportunity
Context modeling represents a common infrastructure need across the AI industry. As more organizations deploy RAG systems and AI agents, the demand for sophisticated context management will only grow.
Looking Forward
The future of personalized AI lies not in building ever-larger language models, but in creating intelligent systems that can effectively collaborate with these powerful but inflexible models. Context modeling represents a crucial step toward this future.
