Artificial Intelligence is evolving rapidly, but traditional databases often struggle to represent the complex relationships that power intelligent systems.
Graph databases solve this challenge by placing relationships at the center of data modeling.
In Neo4j for AI Engineers, you will learn how to design and build powerful knowledge graphs that unlock deeper insights, support smarter AI applications, and improve Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Whether you are developing recommendation engines, AI-powered search systems, or intelligent applications, Neo4j provides the relationship-driven foundation required for modern AI architectures.
This practical guide walks you step-by-step through the concepts, tools, and design strategies used by AI engineers to build scalable graph-powered systems.
Rather than focusing only on theory, the book emphasizes real-world implementation, helping you progress from graph database fundamentals to production-ready AI infrastructure.
