    "text": "So we built a company world … based on the entirety of our 25,000 repo …, right? And this was a machine readable view of every single service and how they all connect. And this allowed orchestrators and the agents that they delegated to to pull context in as needed and understand the landscape as they implement. And this enabled multiple agents to explore different parts of the system in parallel.",
