Abstract

In enterprise operations, the context required for an AI agent task is scattered across systems of record, static information stores, and communication channels. What is stored is system state, a lossy representation of the work that actually happened. The prevailing approach retrieves by matching request content to what is stored; for narrow requests this works well. But synthesis quality depends on knowing what to surface and how to interpret it: knowledge specific to each organization, team, and individual, present in behavioral patterns, absent from any retrieval index. For the agentic task of proposing enterprise-valuable leads to sellers, this approach breaks down: True Lead Rate is low, False Lead Rate is high, and the model has no mechanism to improve. We present X-SYNTH, a framework for enterprise context synthesis grounded in digital human attention, the digitally observable interaction signatures of each worker, encoding what they did, the sequence in which they did it, and implicit reward signals. Behavioral traces preceding positive outcomes are distinguishable from those that did not, without external labeling. X-SYNTH models each individual's behavioral baseline as a Digital Twin Signature (DTS) and selects among seven attention filters, Proportional, Inverse, Differential, Recurrent, Comparative, Sequential, and Collective, per individual and per query, to identify causally relevant activity signatures. A four-stage pipeline assembles ranked context grounded in behavioral patterns rather than query embeddings. A frontier model unaided achieves 9.5% True Lead Rate (TLR) with 90.5% False Lead Rate (FLR). Augmented with X-SYNTH, TLR rises to 61.9% (6.5x) while FLR falls to 18.8%. Enterprise context synthesis is not a retrieval problem. It is a relevance problem, and digital human attention is its most reliable ground truth.

WinSyn: An Automated Pipeline for Realistic Enterprise Question-Answering Evaluation

Enterprise settings provide a challenging environment for question-answering agents, which often rely on Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Deep Research (DR), and related techniques. Much of this challenge comes from the complexity of enterprise data: information is often spread across evolving and potentially conflict- ing emails, chat messages, documents, and other artifacts. Existing benchmarks typically have limited real-world complexity, short-form responses, and unnatural queries, so they often fail to capture the challenges of enterprise settings. In this work, we introduce an automated pipeline for generating synthetic datasets of emails reflecting realistic workplace scenarios, along with long- and short-form questions and gold answers grounded in the data. Our method simulates long-running enterprise projects spanning several months and involving up to 25 interacting employees across multiple roles. The data emphasizes ambiguity, distributed information, and naturally occurring queries. To validate the pipeline, we evaluate few standard agentic baselines on our datasets using the latest frontier models. We find that aggregate scores averaged over all queries remain below 80% for each dataset, indicating significant room for improvement. These findings suggest that more work remains to be done for enterprise deployment and underscore the importance of realistic, high-complexity evaluation data for developing stronger real-world enterprise DR systems.

Context Graphs for Proactive Enterprise Agents

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and agentic frameworks have advanced enterprise AI considerably, yet agents remain fundamentally reactive: they wait for a human query before acting. This paper argues that genuine enterprise productivity gains require proactive agents: systems that surface relevant, actionable information to workers before they ask. We propose the Context Graph, a live relational data structure that models enterprise entities, their relationships, and state transitions over time. Built on this graph, we define a Delta Detection Engine that continuously monitors state changes, a Proactivity Scorer that ranks candidate insights by urgency, relevance, and persona-fit, and a Surfacing Layer powered by an LLM that delivers ranked notifications with grounded explanations. We formalize each component, derive a unified Proactivity Score function, and provide a complete end-to-end Python implementation using NetworkX and the Anthropic Claude API. Evaluation across three generic enterprise case studies (contract lifecycle management, engineering incident response, and sales pipeline hygiene) demonstrates that context-graph-driven proactivity achieves Precision@5 of 0.83, a false positive rate of 0.11, and reduces mean time to surface from 47 minutes (reactive baseline) to under 30 second.

Towards Direct Latent-Space Synthesis for Parallel Branches in LLM-Agent Workflows

Large language models increasingly serve as execution engines for agentic systems, yet they still consume context through a sequential text interface. This creates a mismatch with modern structured agent workflows, in which independent branches explore subtasks, retrieve evidence, or generate candidate solutions before a final synthesis step. Existing systems typically merge these branches by concatenating their textual outputs, which discards the parallel structure and incurs redundant prefill computation. In this work, we introduce Parallel-Synthesis, a plug-and-play framework that enables a synthesizer to directly consume the KV caches produced by parallel worker agents. Parallel-Synthesis combines a cache mapper that calibrates independently generated branch caches with a fine-tuned synthesizer adapter that enables generation from this non-sequential cache interface. We train Parallel-Synthesis using data that exposes the synthesizer to parallel cache contexts, teaches aggregation across cached branches, and distills reasoning behavior from standard text-concatenation-based synthesis. Across nine downstream datasets spanning math, science QA, code generation, GAIA, and multi-agent database diagnosis, Parallel-Synthesis matches or outperforms text-based synthesis on seven datasets and remains close on the other two. It also reduces time-to-first-token by 2.5x-11x, suggesting that direct cache-based synthesis is a promising interface for more native and efficient synthesis over parallel agent branches.
