One context layer
Bring files, websites, profiles, analytics sources, repositories, and other approved connections into a shared workspace.
Connected business intelligence
Give planning and AI work the context your business already has.
Better execution starts with better context. The Block’s Intelligence workspace connects approved business sources and turns them into usable signals for research, Carmen, initiative planning, and application work—without treating credentials as model content.
