Forget unicorns.

The fastest-growing companies on LinkedIn are "Stealth Startup" and "Intersection."

Judging by my DMs, half the platform works at "the" Intersection.

At some point, they have to ship something.

[5/5] Everyone is building agents.

Almost nobody is building the layer that lets them run safely in production.

What would it take for you to trust an AI agent with a real decision?

[1/5]🧵 Context Layers Sit Between Agents and Tools

Every AI agent has two problems:

1. What tools can I access?
2. Which tool should I use right now?

MCP solved the first.
RAG doesn't solve the second.

[Vuong Nguyen @VuongN]

[4/5] RAG asks: what information exists?
Context asks: what action is allowed?

The difference is the gap between agents that demo well and agents that survive production.

[Vuong Nguyen @VuongN]

[5/5] Information tells you what exists.
Context tells you what's allowed.

RAG was the last decade's breakthrough.
Context is the next decade's infrastructure.

[1/5]🧵 RAG Gives Agents Information. Context Gives Agents Decisions.

Most people assume AI agents fail because they lack information.

So they add more retrieval.

That assumption is wrong.

[Vuong Nguyen @VuongN]

[4/5] - Priority only applies after 15 days
- Cash must stay above $2M until month-end
- Vendor requires manager approval
- Early payment forfeits a 2% discount

Retrieval surfaced the invoice.
Context determines whether paying it is allowed.

[Vuong Nguyen @VuongN]

[5/5] So what do you control?

Your judgment. Your relationships. Your accumulated context.

Owning your context isn't the solution. It's the survival strategy.

What's yours?

[1/5]🧵 Most historical transitions didn't have plans.

They had survivors and casualties.

AI anxiety isn't irrational. It's proportional.

[Vuong Nguyen @VuongN]

[4/5] Most people think they're evaluating a tool.

They're actually evaluating a timeline.

[Vuong Nguyen @VuongN]

[5/5] Finance moves 10 trillion dollars daily through systems requiring split-second decisions across dozens of variables.

If agents break here, how will they survive anywhere else?

[Vuong Nguyen @VuongN]

[1/5]🧵 Finance Is the Hardest Test Case for AI Agents

If you want to understand why AI agents break in production, look at finance.

It exposes every weakness instantly.

[Vuong Nguyen @VuongN]

[4/5] A $75K Lagos→London payment.

Three rails. Three fee structures.
Different hours. Different compliance rules.

The agent can call every API.
It can't choose a route.

That's not an edge case. It's the norm.
