-# What is cognee? +
-Cognee implements scalable, modular ECL (Extract, Cognify, Load) pipelines that allow you to interconnect and retrieve past conversations, documents, and audio transcriptions while reducing hallucinations, developer effort, and cost. -Cognee merges graph and vector databases to uncover hidden relationships and new patterns in your data. You can automatically model, load and retrieve entities and objects representing your business domain and analyze their relationships, uncovering insights that neither vector stores nor graph stores alone can provide. Learn more about use-cases [here](https://docs.cognee.ai/use_cases). -Try it in a Google Colab notebook or have a look at our documentation. +## Features + +- Interconnect and retrieve your past conversations, documents, images and audio transcriptions +- Reduce hallucinations, developer effort, and cost. +- Load data to graph and vector databases using only Pydantic +- Manipulate your data while ingesting from 30+ data sources + +## Get Started + +Get started quickly with a Google Colab notebook or starter repo + -If you have questions, join our Discord community. -Have you seen cognee's starter repo?

-## Vector retrieval, Graphs and LLMs - -Cognee supports a variety of tools and services for different operations: -- **Modular**: Cognee is modular by nature, using tasks grouped into pipelines - -- **Local Setup**: By default, LanceDB runs locally with NetworkX and OpenAI. -- **Vector Stores**: Cognee supports LanceDB, Qdrant, PGVector and Weaviate for vector storage. +## Demos -- **Language Models (LLMs)**: You can use either Anyscale or Ollama as your LLM provider. - -- **Graph Stores**: In addition to NetworkX, Neo4j is also supported for graph storage. - -- **User management**: Create individual user graphs and manage permissions - -## Demo - -Check out our demo notebook [here](https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee/blob/main/notebooks/cognee_demo.ipynb) or watch the Youtube video below +What is AI memory: [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI4hDzguN5k "Learn about cognee: 55") -## Install Cognee with specific database support -Support for various databases and vector stores is available through extras. -Please see the [Cognee Quickstart Guide](https://docs.cognee.ai/quickstart/) for important configuration information. - -### With pip - -To install Cognee with support for specific databases use the appropriate command below.
