Connected Intelligence: Exploring GenAI and Knowledge Graphs

What happens when you connect the dots—literally?

In "Connected Intelligence: Exploring GenAI and Knowledge Graphs," we dive into how the synergy between Generative AI and Knowledge Graphs is transforming the way machines understand, reason, and respond.

Discover how connected data structures like knowledge graphs enhance the factual grounding, explainability, and retrieval capabilities of LLMs.

From GraphRAG to real-world applications in search, recommendations, and intelligent agents—this meetup will feature insightful talks, practical demos, and plenty of hallway conversations.

Speakers:

🎤 Siddhant Agarwal, Developer Relations Lead APAC, Neo4j
Talk topic : When GenAI meets Mythology
Description : In a world captivated by modern AI, what happens when cutting-edge technology is applied to one of the oldest epics known to humanity? This session explores the creation of the Mahabharata Chatbot—an intelligent assistant built using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and powered by Neo4j knowledge graphs and Google Gemini. By weaving together ancient Indian wisdom with the capabilities of Generative AI, the chatbot enables users to ask context-aware, nuanced questions about characters, events, and philosophies from the Mahabharata. Discover how this project blends structured data, semantic search, and LLMs to bring mythological storytelling into the digital age—offering not just answers, but insight.
