Merge launches Universal Context Layer linking company knowledge to AI agents

Merge has launched the Universal Context Layer, which it says connects a company's Slack, Granola and Notion accounts in one click and adds relevant information to a shared "company brain" that any AI assistant the team uses can draw on.

The launch was promoted in a post on X, which Rohan Paul shared with the claim that businesses must give AI agents company knowledge, not just access to the tools themselves. The reported material comes from Merge's own description and that post; no independent evaluation of how the layer performs has been reported.
