Memgraph, a leader in open-source, in-memory graph databases, is introducing a new capability designed to accelerate business adoption of graph-based retrieval-augmented generation (GraphRAG), Atomic GraphRAG.
According to the company, the Memgraph toolkit now includes a capability designed to dramatically accelerate the creation of GraphRAG pipelines—enabling enterprise large language models (LLMs) to avoid unfocused searches and generate accurate, business-relevant answers from the most pertinent data sources in a single, unified execution layer.
As a result, according to Memgraph’s chief technology officer Marko Budiselic, the capability enables humans, AI agents, and LLMs to generate the precise queries needed to execute customized GraphRAG searches.
This is possible because the system now turns the assembly of lots of existing primitives into an entire, arbitrary GraphRAG pipeline—from graph traversal and community detection to context synthesis—within a single database query.
To make the most of GraphRAG, currently an engineer must dive deep into the “plumbing,” choosing which approach to use and hand coding all the intricacies, such as:
- Translating text into Cypher, the primary graph query languages, to extract analytical insights from a dataset
- Combining vector search with graph traversal to locate specific facts or events
- Using query-focused summarization to surface key themes across an entire dataset.
Choosing the right approach, or attempting all three, can be costly in computation and business time. Atomic GraphRAG makes this selection much easier, letting users define the search scope with just a few lines of Cypher while the system optimizes execution behind the scenes, the company said.
Atomic GraphRAG addresses a longstanding challenge of GraphRAG: delivering higher-quality LLM answers, which has historically been complex to implement.
In terms of utilization, the key mechanism for driving Atomic GraphRAG will be Skills, which are emerging as the most effective way to enable AI agents to perform specific tasks reliably within a defined scope.
Skills are valuable because, rather than relying on open-ended prompts, they encapsulate domain knowledge, tools, data access, and business rules into structured components that an agent can call on as needed, the company said.
As organizations can design, test, and deploy individual skills, this makes AI systems more accurate, controllable, and scalable, plus accelerate retrieving of customer data, analyzing documents, or executing workflows, then combining them to power more complex, goal-driven automation.
With Atomic GraphRAG, Memgraph also introduces faster ways to build Reasoning/Decision Traces and Context Graphs, along with server-side parameters, marking a significant advance in developer productivity for RAG- and knowledge graph-based AI, said the vendor.
“As organizations design, test, and deploy individual Skills,” said Budiselic, “AI systems become more accurate, controllable, and scalable. This accelerates tasks like retrieving customer data, analyzing documents, or executing workflows, which can then be combined to power complex, goal-driven automation.”
The latest version of Memgraph, including Atomic GraphRAG, is immediately available for download through Github, plus through the Memgraph Cloud.
