Need more context-aware responses from your LLM-powered apps?Join us for the next SurrealDB meetup in London, where we'll show you how to combine graph and vector search to build smarter GenAI features — without wrangling multiple databases or frameworks.
We’ll walk through a complete, working example: a chatbot that uses SurrealDB + LangChain to to analyse symptoms and recommend where who to schedule an appointment with based on both semantic similarity and structured graph relationships.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
- Set up SurrealDB as both a graph and vector store — in a single system
- Use LangChain to query structured knowledge alongside embeddings
- Chain together document ingestion, graph construction, and AI-driven Q&A
- Deploy an architecture that scales from prototype to production
Who’s this for?
This session is designed for developers and engineers who want to build AI features that go beyond basic vector search. If you’re already comfortable coding in Python and want to explore LLM integration, graph reasoning, and real-world deployment patterns — without unnecessary complexity — this talk will give you the tools and examples to get started fast.
Drinks and networking after the talk — we hope to see you there!
