**Context** in AI refers to the essential, relevant information and history an AI system maintains to make informed, coherent decisions and generate consistent responses. For an [**AI agent**](https://stage.spiralscout.com/glossary/ai-agent), maintaining accurate context – which includes conversation history, user request details, and external data – is key to preventing confusion.
