## Overview
General AI doesn’t know your business. Chord is the context layer enabling trusted AI to improve operational efficiency for commerce brands.

While operators increasingly rely on LLMs like Claude, most AI lacks the business context required to understand how a business actually operates. As a result, teams are forced to manually export reports, gather screenshots, upload spreadsheets, and repeatedly provide context every time they want AI to answer a business question.

Chord connects the operational data, business logic, and historical knowledge that businesses rely on every day, creating a shared understanding between operators and AI. By transforming fragmented data and business context into actionable insights, Chord enables trusted recommendations and actions that improve how businesses deploy resources, make decisions, and operate at scale.

Operators can engage with Chord through its native platform or bring Chord-powered context directly into the tools they already use, including Claude and Slack. Rather than manually assembling context for every conversation, teams can interact with AI that already understands their customers, products, marketing, and business operations. Whether working inside Chord or existing workflows, teams gain access to the same trusted business context that makes AI more accurate, actionable, and reliable.

## FAQ
### What data sources does Chord connect to?
Chord's Data Foundation connects to e-commerce platforms, ad platforms, analytics tools, email and SMS platforms, ERPs, payment processors, and more.

### How is Chord's Data Foundation different from a CDP?
CDPs collect data but don't model it. Chord's Data Foundation ingests, unifies, and models data — creating relationships between sources, defining what each data point means in context, and powering downstream AI actions. A CDP is a pipe. Chord is the foundation.

### Do I need a data team to set up Chord's Data Foundation?
No. Chord is built for commerce operators, not data engineers. The Data Foundation handles ingestion, modeling, and maintenance so your team can focus on growth, not infrastructure.

### How does the Data Foundation feed into AI agents?
The Data Foundation is the input layer for everything downstream — the Context Layer stacks business rules and institutional knowledge on top of it, and Chord Agents draw on both to take accurate, grounded actions.

### What is the Context Layer?
The Context Layer is Chord's proprietary assembly of purpose-built data infrastructure, business logic, institutional knowledge, memory, and runtime intelligence that enables AI to understand a business, generate trusted insights, and turn them into operationally efficient actions. It’s everything your business needs to make AI accurate, reliable, and relevant.
