AI agents are brilliant interns, but most companies can't deploy them at scale. Trace just raised $3M seed (YC, Zeno Ventures, Goodwater Capital) to solve enterprise AI agent adoption through workflow orchestration. Key approach: • Maps corporate environments into knowledge graphs • Breaks tasks into workflows with proper context • Automates agent onboarding (biggest deployment blocker) Founder playbook: • Identified context gap in AI deployment • Built knowledge graph vs prompt engineering approach • Positioned as "manager" layer above AI "interns" • Raised from enterprise-focused VCs Takeaway: Context engineering > prompt engineering for AI infrastructure plays.
