# Modern Relay

> Modern Relay is the context graph for agent-native teams.

Modern Relay gives agent-native teams a governed source of truth where agents, teams, and systems share context, coordinate work, and govern change on infrastructure the company owns.

## Primary Positioning

- Category: Enterprise context graph
- Core thesis: AI agents need shared structured state, governed change, and sovereign infrastructure.
- Product role: A source of truth for AI agents and enterprise teams.
- Main concepts: context, coordination, governance, ontology, schema-as-code, auditability, provenance, open storage, owned infrastructure.

## Memos

- [Agents Are the New Database Operator](https://modernrelay.com/memos/agents-are-the-new-database-operator): Database categories form around their dominant operator. Agents are a new operator profile — and they need a database that treats reading, writing, and coordination as one loop.
- [The Branchable Context Graph: A New Operational State Layer for Agentic Systems](https://modernrelay.com/memos/branchable-operational-graph): The dominant enterprise knowledge architecture will be replaced by a new pattern for agentic systems: a branchable operational graph — typed context, hybrid retrieval, branch-local proposed writes, and governance as a first-class system property.

## Product Stack

- Agents & Coordination: Bring your own agents and models or use ours. Agents read shared context, write back governed proposals, and coordinate through the graph. One surface for humans and agents to work together.
- Policy & Permissions: Every mutation starts as a proposal. Branch, review, merge, and enforce policy before changes propagate. Every change is traceable, every decision auditable, every action reversible.
- Context graph: A typed, versioned graph for the entities, relationships, and rules your organization runs on. Schema-as-code with a real compiler that validates definitions before data enters the graph.
- Storage: Open-source storage built on Lance and Apache Arrow. Columnar, versioned, and readable by any tool. No proprietary encoding. No vendor-owned state. Your data stays on infrastructure you own.

## Use Cases

- Competitive Intelligence: A structured competitive landscape that stays current as signals change
- Deal Intelligence: Deal history, positioning, and relationships as shared, queryable context
- Regulatory Compliance: Policies, regulations, and compliance posture in one governed graph
- Medical Insights: Literature, trial data, and real-world evidence synthesized into usable knowledge
