This is an incredible deep dive — Cognee feels like a genuine step forward from traditional RAG setups. The triple-store architecture (Vector + Graph + Relational) makes perfect sense for achieving both semantic recall and structural reasoning. The .memify() feature in particular stands out — it’s exactly what’s needed for AI agents to move from retrieval to real contextual understanding. Definitely going to explore this on GitHub.

Nice Article Om!, I love the idea of using the Knowledge Graph for structural memory. Loved the visualization part.

Loved it, but how does Cognee’s hybrid search differ from traditional RAG pipelines in practice?

Thanks ma'am!!!
Cognee's hybrid search combines vector similarity (semantic context) with knowledge graph traversal (structural relationships) to enable complex, multi-hop reasoning that traditional RAG cannot perform.

That’s a solid approach. The combination of vector search with a knowledge graph feels like the missing piece for most RAG setups. I’ve seen similar issues where context gets lost between related documents or previous user sessions.
In Vezlo, we’re testing something similar for SaaS knowledge bases — trying to link context across multiple data sources instead of just retrieving static chunks. Curious how Cognee handles updates when the underlying data changes — does the graph rebuild incrementally or from scratch?

This is really awesome and opens many more ways to improve our AI agents. Very nice work!

Through the help of spytechplus2 I caught my husband red handed having a secret affair with his boss in the office spytechplus2 at Gmail com did a very smooth job without trace on both side
