Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a powerful technique for building chatbots that answer questions using your own content, but it can struggle with context and accuracy on complex sites. In this session, we demonstrate how integrating GraphRAG into the open-source AllyCat chatbot leads to more accurate and context-aware responses by leveraging graph-based retrieval.

With the addition of GraphRAG, this chat delivers more consistent and reliable answers, reducing hallucinations and improving the quality of chatbot interactions—key requirements for effective customer support, documentation, and user engagement.

This talk will include a live demo and code walkthrough, showing how developers can quickly integrate this with their own applications and adapt it to meet specific needs. By using AllyCat, developers can provide instant, accurate support to users and continuously improve their services.

For the final Neo4j Meetup in 2024 we have invited a few Neo4j Friends, Community Members and Neo4j Staff to bring you various topics in 10mins lightning talks.

Agenda:

Session 1: Graph Visualization and Diagramming: The why and the how Sebastian Müller, CTO of yWorks Learn how to create interactive graph visualizations from Neo4j databases using Jupyter Notebooks and free tools. This lightning talk will demonstrate quick setup, data-bound visualizations, and advanced techniques to transform your queries into insightful diagrams.

Sebastian brings over two decades of expertise in graph visualization and diagramming to this presentation. With a diploma in Computer Science from the University of Tübingen, Sebastian has collaborated with global clients across various industries, helping them visualize complex connected data.

Session 2: Autoscaling LLMs in Production Yann Leger, Koyeb Building AI-driven applications is only the first step—scaling them effectively is where the real challenges emerge. Learn how to automatically scale LLMs in production, optimize your resource usage, and improve performance for your AI-driven applications.

Yann Leger is co-founder of Koyeb, a serverless platform for AI workloads, and spent the last 12 years building large-scale cloud service providers from scratch. Passionate about cloud computing, he has a deep understanding of the underlying infrastructure, from data centers to the software stack running on hypervisors. After building Scaleway, originally with bare metal ARM servers, Yann decided to go serverless with alternative chips for AI.

Session 3: Graph-Powered Open Ownership: Data, Challenges, and Queries Stephen Abbott Pugh, Open Ownership Join Stephen from OpenOwnership and Christophe from GraphAware to explore the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard (BODS). We will explain the data structure, introducing LEI and other identifiers, and discuss the challenges of building and modeling the open ownership dataset. Learn about the ingestion process and see practical query examples and recent Cypher features.

Stephen Abbott Pugh is Open Ownership’s Head of Technology. He looks after the overall technical roadmap for the organisation, providing technical assistance to governments with implementing technology reforms to advance beneficial ownership transparency. He is the product owner of the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard and the Open Ownership Register, along with a range of other technical products.

Session 4: The Power of GraphRAG Nyah Macklin, Neo4j

Session 5: open - could be you! Let us know!
