How tenant-owned domains keep AI capabilities organized

A practical look at using domains to group intent contracts, knowledge links, tools, and shared runtime behavior by ownership boundary.

A production AI platform needs a unit of ownership. In LiyaEngine, that unit is the domain: a business function or product area that owns a set of callable capabilities and their shared operating context.

What belongs to a domain

Intents live inside a domain. Knowledge collections are managed centrally and linked to the domains that may retrieve from them. Platform tools can be enabled at the domain boundary, while intent-level configuration defines how an individual capability behaves.

POST /v1/run
{
  "pack": "legal-operations",
  "intent": "review-contract",
  "input": { "message": "Review this clause" }
}

Why the boundary matters

The domain makes it clear who owns configuration changes, which knowledge can be used, and which capabilities share a production namespace. That clarity becomes more valuable as the number of teams and AI features grows.
