As AI agents gain more capabilities, the real differentiator becomes context engineering: the art of providing the right knowledge at the right time. See how Project Lens puts this into practice.
The way you work with AI is changing. Prompt engineering was about crafting one-off asks. Context engineering is about building persistent systems the model can reason over. Here's how BuildOS puts it into practice.
