This book is your complete guide to building next-generation Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems powered by knowledge graphs. As LLMs continue to evolve, traditional RAG pipelines struggle with context gaps, shallow retrieval, and limited reasoning. GraphRAG solves these problems by fusing structured knowledge with dynamic retrieval, creating AI systems that are more accurate, explainable, and context-aware. This book gives you a clear, practical, and highly technical foundation for understanding and applying GraphRAG across real-world domains. You'll explore every layer of the modern GraphRAG pipeline-from graph construction and embedding strategies to semantic retrieval, graph reasoning, and generation workflows. Written in a practical, hands-on style, GraphRAG Essentials delivers the tools, patterns, and architectures you need to design, optimize, and deploy knowledge-graph-augmented AI systems at scale. Inside this book, you will learn: - Core GraphRAG principles How knowledge graphs enhance retrieval, improve grounding, and deliver richer context to LLMs. - Practical workflows and architectures Step-by-step pipelines for entity extraction, graph building, retrieval integration, and generation refinement. - Key algorithms and techniques Graph traversal, semantic similarity search, embeddings, scoring methods, and hybrid retrieval models. - Knowledge graph engineering Schema design, ontology modeling, graph storage, indexing, and integration with LLM-based systems. - Building GraphRAG applications Real-world examples in search, analytics, chat systems, enterprise AI, and domain-specific intelligence. - Performance optimization How to improve accuracy, reduce hallucinations, boost retrieval quality, and scale GraphRAG pipelines. - Tooling and frameworks Practical guidance on Neo4j, NetworkX, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and modern graph infrastructure.
