# Ask HN: Do coding agents need cross-tool org knowledge? Or, just good to have?

I've been talking to engineers, mostly in large teams. While they love cross-surface search with Glean, they still assimilate and curate the context for agents manually. It is especially useful during incidents and new onboarding.

I've been building a knowledge substrate for engineering teams that is native to coding agents and pulls from all connected tools. It returns cross-source, fresh, credible evidence in agent-native form without context bloat. It's effective and efficient enough to deploy for smaller teams.

My ICP is growing teams/startups between 15 and 80 engineers with good agentic coding adoption. I've been trying to reach out to these founders/teams. A very low number of conversations materialise, and the ones that do perceive it as only 'good to have'.

Have I been building vitamin?
