tl;dr Prompt/Context Engineering is not a "tax" as OP wants you to believe and pay them for. I would counter most outfits like this are not accounting for how easy and open source agent with "memory" are going to be to create, there are already lots of frameworks and addons, the big providers will have something like this if they don't already. Outfits like this don't realize their prompt/context engineering + this one weird trick (stateful agents is the de jour), is not adding all that much value or has ample alternatives. People are not going to see the context engineering as a time loss / cost center and something they should outsource, but rather as integral to their business and brand. Outsourcing a core aspect of your business is not something leaders do
