Build with your Ai agent and ground it in your knowledge base
Query your own knowledge. Every answer comes back with its sources.
Quickstart

Every command below fills in with it, so there is no placeholder left to edit.
Stays in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
03Connect your agent
A skill teaches your agent how to drive Senso. Install it for the agent you use.
Run these in a new, empty terminal — not inside a session where an agent is already attached. The export only reaches the shell you type it in, and a running agent will not pick up skills installed underneath it.
# 3a — install the CLI and confirm your key works
npm install -g @senso-ai/cli
export SENSO_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

# 3b — teach Claude Code how to use Senso
senso skills install @tenzin-senso/senso-context-layer-quickstart --agent claude --global
# 3c — start Claude Code and let it get you oriented
claude "Get me started with Senso. Confirm which organization I'm connected to, \
show me what's already in my context layer, then give me my options for what to do next."--global installs the skill for every project rather than just this one. senso skills install --all adds every official skill instead — agent skills lists what each one teaches, including generate and publish.
The first time you start an agent in a folder it asks whether it trusts the directory before it answers. Say yes.
What people build with it
Ground an agent
Answers built only from your documents, returned with the sources they came from.
Power a workflow
Support, compliance and call center agents working from one source of truth.
Control what AI says about you
Publish what models should read, then measure whether the answer changed.
Ingest is stage 01 of six
Getting your documents in is the first stage. The rest is how you find what AI still gets wrong about you, fix it, and check that the answer changed.
The context layer
Five sections to fill
One place your agents read from, instead of five places nobody maintains.
Five sections, each holding a different kind of truth about your business. An answer draws on all of them at once, and every sentence it produces traces back to a document you own.
The dots are the readout that matters. A thin section is where answers go vague; an empty one is where they get invented.

Illustrative until you connect an organization.
Already have a RAG system?
Keep it. Ask the same question of your stack and of Senso, then compare. Senso answers only from documents you own, with sources, so the difference is what your system invented or missed. Works against any pipeline, any model, local included.
