Context graph
How Hamster connects conversations, decisions, documents, briefs, plans, and people so the assistant can reason over your workspace as one system—not isolated files or threads.
Overview
Hamster maintains a context graph of your workspace: entities such as conversations, decisions, briefs, documents, initiatives, tasks, and people, with links that reflect how work actually relates. When you ask a question or generate a plan, retrieval can follow those relationships instead of relying on loose keyword overlap.
Prior conversations and decisions are part of the graph, connected to the briefs and tasks they influenced. Context documents attach to briefs and feed the same model. Plans draw on related initiatives, documents, and history rather than treating a brief as a standalone blob.
This documentation section is the home for how the graph works and how it shows up across Studio. It will grow with future releases as the graph gains more surfaces and capabilities.
Where you will see it
- Chat — Replies can use past threads, linked briefs and tasks, and workspace relationships. See AI Responses.
- Documents and context — Uploaded and linked material is indexed into the graph; retrieval can traverse related entities. Document sections can map to different parts of the graph so the right passage—not only the whole file—can surface when it matters. See Context Documents.
- Plans — Plan generation uses graph-aware context across initiatives, documents, and prior work. See Generating Plans.
Capabilities
- Relationship-first retrieval — The assistant prioritizes context that is linked to your current work, not just textually similar.
- Neighborhood traversal — Hamster can expand from a starting node to related nodes when a question spans multiple parts of the workspace.
- Team- and time-aware context — Recent activity, ownership, and who is involved can influence which linked context is most relevant.
- Traceability — You can reason from outcomes back through execution, briefs, and the conversations and decisions that led there—including how work ties to releases when that linkage exists in the workspace.
