| 36 | +## From graph to AI |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +### Data Persistence |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +ArangoDB is a scalable database system that you can use to store |
| 41 | +[JSON documents](arangodb/3.12/concepts/data-structure/documents/_index.md), |
| 42 | +which allows a flexible data structure for each record. ArangoDB natively supports |
| 43 | +[graphs](arangodb/3.12/graphs/_index.md), letting you connect documents with |
| 44 | +edges to express relationships between records and build complex |
| 45 | +information networks. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### Data Retrieval |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +You can query your data in various ways using the core database system. |
| 50 | +The native support for multiple data models lets you access information in |
| 51 | +different ways with a single query language called [AQL](arangodb/3.12/aql/_index.md). |
| 52 | +It has built-in support for aggregation, vector and full-text search, geo-spatial |
| 53 | +queries, and more. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +### Data Exploration |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +You can visually explore and interact with your ArangoDB graphs through an |
| 58 | +intuitive web interface called the [Graph Visualizer](data-platform/graph-visualizer.md). |
| 59 | +It is part of the [Arango Data Platform](data-platform/_index.md) that builds on |
| 60 | +ArangoDB, extending it to a Kubernetes-native environment that unifies |
| 61 | +data management, monitoring, and automation. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +### Graph Queries |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Utilizing connected data starts with running simple [graph queries](arangodb/3.12/aql/graphs/_index.md). |
| 66 | +Using ArangoDB and its query language, you can determine the shortest paths between nodes as well as execute graph traversals. A traversal starts at a |
| 67 | +given node of a graph and follows the directly connected edges. The edges indicate |
| 68 | +what the next connected nodes are, and this discovery of neighbors can repeat. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Graph queries can answer questions like **Who can introduce me to person X?** |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +### Graph Analytics |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +The next level of utilizing connected data in terms of complexity is to use |
| 75 | +graph analytics or graph algorithms to aggregate information about a graph. |
| 76 | +Unlike with graph queries, this involves the entire graph at once. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +Graph analytics can answer questions like **Who are the most connected persons?** |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +Arango offers a [Graph Analytics](ai-suite/graph-analytics.md) solution as part |
| 81 | +of the [Arango AI Data Platform](data-platform/features.md) to run algorithms |
| 82 | +such as connected components, label propagation, and PageRank on your data. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +### GraphML |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +For higher-level insights, you can use advanced graph-based data science. |
| 87 | +Applying machine learning on graphs lets you predict connections, get better |
| 88 | +product recommendations, and also classify nodes, edges, and graphs. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +GraphML can answer questions like: |
| 91 | +- **Is there a connection between person X and person Y?** |
| 92 | +- **Will a customer churn?** |
| 93 | +- **Is this particular transaction anomalous?** |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +Arango's enterprise-ready, graph-powered machine learning capabilities are |
| 96 | +included in the [AI Suite](ai-suite/_index.md) as part of the |
| 97 | +Arango AI Data Platform. See [Arango GraphML](ai-suite/graphml/_index.md). |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +### GraphRAG |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +Generative AI often struggle with hallucinations because the connectedness of |
| 102 | +data is not properly or cleanly represented. GraphRAG is a technique that |
| 103 | +turbocharges GenAI applications using the power of graph relationships and |
| 104 | +vector embeddings. |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +Arango's [GraphRAG](ai-suite/graphrag/_index.md) included in the |
| 107 | +[AI Suite](ai-suite/_index.md) is a turn-key solution to transform your |
| 108 | +organization's data into a knowledge graph and let everyone utilize the |
| 109 | +knowledge by asking questions in natural language. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +It automatically creates a knowledge graph from raw text by identifying and |
| 112 | +extracting entities and relationships within the data, groups and summarizes |
| 113 | +semantically similar entities, and stores everything in ArangoDB. When you ask a |
| 114 | +question, the large language model (LLM) is supplied with additional context |
| 115 | +from the knowledge graph, using lexical and semantic search. This enables |
| 116 | +accurate, context-aware intelligence grounded in enterprise data. |
