Platform Intelligence vs Org Context

The difference between general Salesforce platform knowledge and org-specific context.

Kognyt uses two different kinds of context.

Platform Intelligence

Platform Intelligence is general Salesforce knowledge.

It includes:

  • governor limits and platform rules
  • Salesforce documentation search
  • release and API version information
  • coding rules, patterns, and decision guides

This is the Kognyt MCP use case. It works without a connected Salesforce org.

Org Context

Org Context is specific to one connected Salesforce org.

Kognyt for VS Code and Kognyt IDE process Salesforce org metadata so your chosen LLM can work with a current, org-specific understanding instead of generic Salesforce guesses.

That context can include:

  • schema
  • code and dependencies
  • automation
  • permissions
  • other org-specific metadata needed for the workflow

Practical difference

Use Platform Intelligence when the question is about Salesforce in general.

Use Org Context when the answer depends on the actual org you are working in.
