Changes

Aligns the docs with the confirmed products <> tools <> context taxonomy. Minimal, high-signal copy pass — no sweep of incidental "app" mentions across product docs.

  • Renames the "Your apps" section in the web app docs to "Your tools" and stops calling each capability an "app".
  • Broadens the context docs to include other business data (Slack, code, Notion, support tickets), matching the new definition of context.
  • Adds glossary entries for Tool, Context, Context warehouse, and Self-driving so the new vocabulary is defined in one canonical place.

Why: Following the positioning meeting confirming the products/tools/context taxonomy, so the docs use the same words as marketing and the product pages. Pairs with the handbook PR (#17866) and the product/app pages PR (#17670).

Checklist

  • I've read the docs and/or content style guides.
  • Words are spelled using American English
  • Use relative URLs for internal links
  • I've checked the pages added or changed in the Vercel preview build
  • If I moved a page, I added a redirect in vercel.json

Created with PostHog Code from a Slack thread

Reflect the confirmed products <> tools <> context taxonomy in the docs:

- Rename the "Your apps" section in the web app docs to "Your tools" and stop calling each capability an "app".
- Broaden the context docs to include other business data (Slack, code, Notion, support tickets).
- Add glossary entries for Tool, Context, Context warehouse, and Self-driving.
