Every system still assumes a human.
One operator behind every screen.
§ 01 — Modern Relay
Designed and built for token-maxxing teams and people.
Every team and every agent reads from — and writes to — one governed graph. Context stops scattering across wikis, tickets and DMs.
Every system still assumes a human.
One operator behind every screen.
The operator changed.
Agents act as operators.
They don't just ask questions. They deliver real work:
One agent is easy.
How about dozens?
parallel · same systems · partial context · overlapping decisions
Without coordination, they collide.
overwrite · stale reads · no audit trail
Who changed what? No one knows. No one knows why.
Today, teams reach for tape.
Every new agent adds another wire. The system gets more fragile.
Agents need a substrate.
Treat knowledge like code. It doesn't exist yet — so we're building it.
A coordination substrate comes down to the assembly and orchestration of primitives.
Git-style data branches.
Typed nodes and edges — semantics and ontology.
Slack, VS Code, CLI, web — one context.
Access and governance, defined as code.
A model of your domain.
The native format. Human-readable, agent-editable.
Deterministic and reproducible ingestion.
S3, MinIO, RustFS.
Code defines system behaviour.
Event streaming across the graph.
Generative, queryable dashboards.
Open Lance files on object storage.
Omnigraph orchestrates these primitives
The lakehouse-native graph engine for context assembly. The operational state and coordination substrate for agents.
A typed knowledge graph that lives directly on object storage: versioned, branchable and queryable. Agents read from it, write to it, and coordinate through it.
Versioning, branches, commits and merges over a typed graph.
Graph, vector, full-text and filters across text and blobs.
Runs on S3 or RustFS. Elastic storage.
Lance as the open storage layer — read it with anything.
Typed .pg schemas — planned, applied, enforced.
Linted queries and agentic nudges, versioned and reusable.
Cedar policies enforced server-side on every mutation.
Declarative views and controls over the graph.
Modern Relay's stack is optimised for data sovereignty and maximum infrastructure control.
Option 1
Fully inside your own data center.
Option 2
In your own cloud account.
Option 3
On-prem and cloud, one graph.
The coordination thesis: shared structured state, governed change, and sovereign infrastructure for the agent era.
Why agentic systems need a new database category.
Unifying context assembly, proposed mutation, coordination, and governed change.
We hire high-agency people, genuinely passionate about data engineering, knowledge graphs, ontologies and infra for agents. Small team, high bar, real ownership.
