Cognizant partners with Workfabric AI to deploy 1000 context engineers, leveraging ContextFabric to scale agentic AI solutions across industries.
Teaneck, N.J., Aug. 29, 2025 — Cognizant (NASDAQ: CTSH) announced a strategic initiative to industrialize agentic AI by deploying 1,000 context engineers over the next year. This initiative, in partnership with Workfabric AI, aims to create a new discipline called context engineering, which enables AI agents to reason, act, and adapt in alignment with enterprise goals.
Key Highlights:
- ContextFabric™ Platform: Workfabric AI's platform will power Cognizant's context engineers, transforming organizational workflows, data, and processes into actionable context for AI agents.
- Enterprise Impact: The initiative focuses on scaling AI adoption beyond experimentation, ensuring agents operate securely and effectively.

What is Context Engineering?
Context engineering involves capturing and managing enterprise knowledge—such as processes, rules, and governance—to ensure AI agents align with human intent and company culture. This discipline is critical for:
- Risk Reduction: Aligning AI with regulatory standards.
- Efficiency Gains: Minimizing errors and rework.
- Cost Optimization: Streamlining AI architectures.
