GraphRAG

A definition from the GenAI for Business glossary.

A retrieval technique that builds a knowledge graph from documents (entities, relationships, community summaries) and retrieves along its edges, enabling "connect the dots" answers across many documents where standard vector-based RAG only finds look-alike passages. Production systems typically run hybrid vector-plus-graph retrieval.
