Context unveils the world’s first AI-native office suite powered by its proprietary Context Engine, directly addressing the estimated 2.5 trillion hours humanity spends annually on repetitive, automatable office tasks. Built entirely from the ground up to leverage state-of-the-art long-context AI, Context seamlessly integrates generative agents across familiar productivity tools, dramatically accelerating document creation, research, data analysis and presentations.
Founded by Joseph Semrai, a Thiel Fellow who left Stanford at age 20, Context emerges from stealth with substantial backing, an $11 million seed round at a $70 million valuation, led by Lux Capital and Qualcomm Ventures. Unlike legacy office tools that retrofit AI as incremental add-ons, Context entirely reimagines the software ecosystem for a generative future, setting new benchmarks in intelligence, context-awareness and productivity.
“Office software has barely evolved since the 1990s, leaving billions of hours trapped in manual, repetitive processes,” said Semrai. “Context’s AI-native workspace frees knowledge workers to focus on uniquely human tasks: strategizing, decision-making, and creativity, while intelligent agents handle the rest.”

Powered by the Context Engine
Context’s pioneering Context Engine is inspired by the human hippocampus, offering unprecedented long-context understanding without performance degradation, capable of handling contexts exceeding 50 million tokens. Unlike traditional retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) methods, Context’s proprietary swarm agents dynamically traverse entire organizational knowledge bases, uncovering deep connections and generating precise, insightful outputs in seconds.
Strategic Partnerships and Security Leadership
Working with Qualcomm, Context leverages Snapdragon™ NPUs for local, secure, and compliant deployments, abstracting away cloud inference costs and meeting stringent enterprise security standards, including SOC-2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications.
“This is a great example of an agentic experience. It’s a breakthrough for productivity,” said Cristiano Amon, President and CEO of Qualcomm, presenting centerstage at Computex 2025.
“While frontier labs have demonstrated AI’s potential, Context transforms potential into reality,” said Shahin Farshchi, PhD, General Partner at Lux Capital. “Context’s integration of multi-modal AI creates revolutionary efficiencies, empowering industries like finance, consulting, and law to elevate their client offerings and significantly increase human bandwidth for strategic tasks.”
