What we’re about
Welcome to the UK meetup for Neo4j, the world's leading graph database. We think graph databases are the future of data storage, because it's so expressive to model interesting connected data in a graph and super fast to query too.
We host regular events at our office in Southwark where we cover a variety of topics in talk based and hands on sessions.
Whether you're new to the world of graph databases or if you're an experienced graphista, everyone's welcome to join us for a drink afterwards and we pick up the tab. It's a great opportunity to network (see, graphs are everywhere!), and also to put those burning questions to the Neo4j engineering team over a pint.

Session 1: High performance Node.js Image Processing - Lovell Fuller
From the history of art, through the worlds of fashion, sustainability and security, this talk details the story of sharp as it made its way into many of the popular JavaScript frameworks and tools we use today.
About Lovell:
Lovell is a freelance software developer based in London, coding since the 1990s and still learning, with experience across a wide range of industries. https://lovell.info/
Session 2: Generative AI for Front-end Developers - Adam Cowley, Neo4j
Don’t let Python developers have all of the fun with LLMs.
This talk is a gentle introduction to Generative AI and Large Language Models for front-end developers looking to build intelligent chatbots and applications. We’ll dive into Langchain.js, an open-source orchestration framework for building AI Applications.
We will start by exploring the basics of Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), how they work, and cover some common pitfalls and how they can be avoided. We’ll take a closer look at vectors, retrievers, and how to build an agent capable of choosing tools to perform specific tasks.

Let's turn PDF documents into dynamic knowledge graphs stored in Neo4j with an easy to use app!
This innovative application harnesses the formidable capabilities of OpenAI's GPT and Diffbot LLM to seamlessly extract nodes, relationships, and properties from PDF text content. Using the advanced Langchain framework, we transform this information into a structured knowledge graph, empowering you to visualize and explore your data like never before.Learn how to effortlessly upload files from your local machine or S3 bucket and select the perfect LLM model to craft your knowledge graph.
