Webinar: Knowledge graph and RAG agent walkthrough
In this live webinar, Martin Schaer shows a simple knowledge graph example using SurrealDB and Pydantic AI. Expect code, and a clear approach to typed querying and observability without piling on abstraction.
In this session you'll learn:
- Generating the knowledge graph from unstructured data
- How to get a Pydantic AI agent retrieve data from a SurrealDB knowledge graph
- Full-stack observability (agent tool usage, LLM calls, SurrealDB queries)

We’ve all done a lot of talking in the last few months (years??) about coding agents, advancements in models, and AI slop. In this meetup, we're bringing all of this together as our speakers talk about how to squeeze even more out of AI so you can actually ship something you're proud of.
Be our guest, hear from the speakers we've assembled, and bring your hard questions. We're here to learn from each other, successes and failures alike.
