Enable Context Engineering Studio Private Preview

Context Engineering Studio enables you to build, test, and deploy the semantic context that AI agents need to answer business questions, directly from your existing data catalog, query history, and BI tools.

This guide walks you through enabling Context Engineering Studio for your Atlan workspace. You only need to complete this setup once. Once it's done, your team can start building context repositories.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure:

  • Your tenant is enrolled in the Context Engineering Studio private preview. If you don't have access, contact Atlan support.
  • You have Admin permissions in your Atlan workspace.

Enable Context Engineering Studio​

To start using Context Engineering Studio, you first need to enable it in Atlan Labs.

  1. In your Atlan workspace, click the Admin icon in the left sidebar.

  2. Navigate to Labs.

  3. Locate the Context Engineering Studio toggle and enable it. Once enabled, Context Engineering Studio is available in your workspace.

Context Engineering Studio uses query history and BI semantics from Atlan Insights to generate richer semantic models and seed simulation question sets from real user activity. Insights is recommended but not required.

note

Context Engineering Studio works without Insights. Without it, Insights question collections and query-history enrichment aren't available, so you add question-and-SQL pairs to your question set manually. Chat & build and Simulate still work. See Create your question set.

If your organization's security posture permits it, enable Insights for the best experience:

  1. In your Atlan workspace, click the Admin icon in the left sidebar.

  2. Navigate to Insights.

  3. If Insights isn't already enabled, click Enable and follow the prompts. If Insights isn't available in your workspace, contact your Atlan representative.

Assign access to your team​

CES uses a dedicated persona to control who can build and manage context repositories. This persona is created automatically when CES is enabled.

  1. In your Atlan workspace, click the Admin icon in the left sidebar.

  2. Navigate to Personas.

  3. Select the Context Engineering Studio persona.

  4. Add the users who can build and manage context repositories, typically data engineers, analytics engineers, and domain SMEs.

Next steps​

Grant permissions on your query engine before building your first context repository. This is a one-time step per engine.
