Introduction to TrustGraph
TrustGraph is an Open Source Agent Intelligence Platform that transforms AI agents from simple task executors into intelligent, contextually-aware systems. Unlike traditional AI approaches that work with isolated data points, TrustGraph creates interconnected knowledge structures that enable agents to understand relationships and context.
What Makes TrustGraph Different?
Traditional AI Approaches
- Work with isolated documents or data points
- Limited contextual understanding
- Prone to hallucinations when information is fragmented
- Struggle to understand how different facts relate
TrustGraph’s Approach
- Creates interconnected knowledge graphs
- Understands relationships between entities
- Grounds responses in structured knowledge
- Provides transparent reasoning paths
Core Technologies
Knowledge Graphs
Knowledge Graphs are the foundation of TrustGraph’s intelligence. They represent information as interconnected networks of entities and relationships, rather than isolated documents or data points.
- Entities: People, places, concepts, or objects in your data
- Relationships: How entities connect and relate to each other
- Context: The meaning that emerges from understanding these connections
GraphRAG (Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
GraphRAG is TrustGraph’s advanced approach to information retrieval that goes beyond traditional RAG systems:
Traditional RAG:
- Retrieves similar documents based on vector similarity
- Works with isolated pieces of information
- Limited contextual understanding
GraphRAG:
- Understands relationships between different pieces of information
- Retrieves contextually relevant knowledge based on graph structure
- Provides more accurate, nuanced responses
- Significantly reduces AI hallucinations
Knowledge Packages
Knowledge Packages combine the best of both worlds:
- Knowledge Graphs: For structured relationships and context
- Vector Embeddings: For semantic similarity search
- Unified Access: Single interface for complex knowledge retrieval
This hybrid approach enables both precise relationship-based queries and flexible semantic search.
Structured Query Processing
TrustGraph provides powerful capabilities for working with structured data extracted from documents:
NLP Query
Converts natural language questions into structured GraphQL queries:
- Transform “Show me all products over $100” into precise database queries
- Generate GraphQL from conversational language
- Support complex filtering and aggregation requests
Object Storage
Manages structured entities extracted from unstructured text:
- Store products, customers, financials as queryable objects
- Maintain schema validation and relationships
- Enable rapid structured data analysis
Structured Query
Executes queries against extracted structured data:
- Query objects extracted from documents using natural language
- Execute GraphQL queries directly against your data
- Return results in multiple formats (JSON, CSV, tables)
AI Agent Intelligence
TrustGraph enables AI agents to:
- Reason about relationships: Understand how different facts connect
- Provide contextual responses: Draw insights from interconnected knowledge
- Reduce hallucinations: Ground responses in structured knowledge
- Learn continuously: Build and refine knowledge over time
Architecture Overview
Knowledge Graph Builder

Vector Embedding Engine
Creates semantic representations of knowledge elements:
- Semantic Encoding: Converts text into mathematical representations
- Similarity Mapping: Enables finding related concepts
- Hybrid Search: Combines with graph structure for powerful queries
GraphRAG Processor
Combines graph and vector search for contextual retrieval:
- Relationship-Aware Retrieval: Finds information based on connections
- Context Assembly: Builds comprehensive context for AI responses
- Multi-Hop Reasoning: Follows relationship chains for deeper insights
AI Agent Runtime
Executes intelligent agents with access to knowledge graphs:
- Contextual Understanding: Agents know how information relates
- Grounded Responses: Answers based on structured knowledge
- Transparent Reasoning: Clear path from question to answer
Integration Layer
Connects with existing enterprise infrastructure:
- LLM Integration: Works with multiple AI models
- Data Connectors: Integrates with databases, documents, APIs
- API Gateway: Provides unified access to all capabilities
How TrustGraph Works
1. Knowledge Ingestion
Documents → Entity Extraction → Relationship Discovery → Knowledge Graph
2. Query Processing
User Question → GraphRAG → Contextual Retrieval → AI Response
3. Continuous Learning
New Data → Graph Updates → Enhanced Knowledge → Better Responses
Key Benefits
Reduced Hallucinations
By grounding AI responses in structured knowledge graphs, TrustGraph significantly reduces the likelihood of AI generating false or misleading information.
Contextual Intelligence
Agents understand not just what information exists, but how different pieces of information relate to each other.
Enterprise Integration
Unifies fragmented organizational knowledge into coherent, queryable knowledge systems.
Transparency
Full visibility into how data is processed and how AI agents arrive at their responses.
Flexibility
Open-source architecture prevents vendor lock-in and enables customization.
