  • Graph Index

    Builds an entity and relationship graph from raw documents to support multi-hop retrieval.

  • Hybrid Query

    Combines vector similarity with graph traversal to retrieve context pure embedding search misses.

  • Incremental Update

    Adds new documents to an existing index without rebuilding the whole knowledge graph.

  • API Serving

    Serves retrieval over HTTP through a standalone server that agent harnesses can call directly.
