Compare the Top Context Engineering Tools in the UK as of October 2025

What are Context Engineering Tools in the UK?

Context engineering tools are specialized frameworks and technologies that manage the information environment surrounding large language models (LLMs) to enhance their performance in complex tasks. Unlike traditional prompt engineering, which focuses on crafting individual inputs, context engineering involves dynamically assembling and structuring relevant data—such as user history, external documents, and real-time inputs—to ensure accurate and coherent outputs. This approach is foundational in building agentic AI systems, enabling them to perform multi-step reasoning, maintain state across interactions, and integrate external tools or APIs seamlessly. By orchestrating the flow of information and memory, context engineering tools help mitigate issues like hallucinations and ensure that AI systems deliver consistent, reliable, and context-aware responses. Compare and read user reviews of the best Context Engineering tools in the UK currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.
