Quick Answers

What is TrustGraph?

TrustGraph is an Open Source Agent Intelligence Platform that transforms AI agents from simple task executors into contextually-aware systems. It combines:

  • Knowledge Graphs: Interconnected entity-relationship structures
  • Vector Embeddings: Semantic similarity search
  • GraphRAG: Relationship-aware retrieval for AI responses
  • Agent Runtime: Execution environment with contextual understanding

Why Use TrustGraph?

For AI Developers: Build agents that understand context and relationships, not just isolated facts.

For Data Scientists: Query knowledge using both structured relationships and semantic similarity.

For Enterprises: Unify fragmented organizational knowledge into coherent, queryable systems.

For Everyone: Reduce AI hallucinations by grounding responses in structured knowledge.

How is TrustGraph Different?

Traditional RAG TrustGraph GraphRAG
Vector similarity only Graph relationships + vectors
Isolated documents Connected knowledge
Limited context Rich contextual understanding
Prone to hallucinations Grounded in structured data

Key Technologies

  • Knowledge Graphs: Entities and relationships extracted from documents
  • GraphRAG: Graph-enhanced retrieval and generation
  • Knowledge Packages: Combined graph + vector representations
  • Structured Query: Natural language to GraphQL conversion
  • Agent Intelligence: Contextual reasoning and transparency
