To make AI agents succeed, we must inject very clear, tightly constrained context. This is where the platform patterns we popularized in Team Topologies become essential. A well-designed internal platform acts like a “vending machine,” providing self-service, reliable access to clean data, APIs, and operational capabilities. By reducing cognitive load on human teams and narrowing context window requirements for AI agents, these platforms create the clean environment that both humans and machines need to execute safely and effectively.
