langchain-graphiti 0.1.0

LangChain integration for the Graphiti knowledge graph system.

🦜🔗 Graphiti for LangChain

langchain-graphiti is a production-grade, high-quality LangChain integration for the Graphiti knowledge graph system. It provides a robust set of tools and retrievers that empower LangChain agents with long-term, evolving memory and sophisticated graph-based reasoning capabilities.

This library allows your agents to dynamically build and query a knowledge graph, transforming unstructured information into structured, queryable memory that persists across sessions.

---

Core Concepts

At its core, this integration bridges the gap between LangChain's powerful agentic frameworks and Graphiti's ability to create real-time knowledge graphs.

• Graphiti: An open-source framework that ingests unstructured data (like conversations or documents) and uses LLMs to automatically extract entities and relationships, building a rich knowledge graph.
• LangChain Integration: This library exposes Graphiti's functionality through standard LangChain interfaces (BaseTool, BaseRetriever), allowing agents to seamlessly read from, write to, and manage the knowledge graph as part of their workflow.

The result is an AI agent that doesn't just operate on short-term context but learns, remembers, and reasons over a persistent, interconnected web of information.

Features

• Comprehensive Toolset: A full suite of tools for adding, searching, and managing information in the knowledge graph.
• Advanced Retrievers: Powerful retrievers that leverage Graphiti's hybrid search (text, vector, and graph traversal) for highly relevant and context-aware information retrieval.
• Robust Client: A thread-safe, async-first client with built-in health checks, connection management, and error handling.
• Production-Ready: Designed with a focus on quality, robustness, and meticulous engineering for reliable deployment.
• Seamless Integration: Built to feel like a native part of the LangChain ecosystem.

Installation

pip install langchain-graphiti

You will also need to install extras depending on the LLM and database providers you intend to use:

# Example for OpenAI and Neo4j
pip install "langchain-graphiti[openai,neo4j]"

See pyproject.toml for a full list of available extras.

Quick Start

Here's a simple example of how to get up and running with langchain-graphiti. This example uses langchain-openai and a local Neo4j database.

import asyncio
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent

from langchain_graphiti import GraphitiClient
from langchain_graphiti.tools import create_basic_agent_tools
from langchain_graphiti.config import LLMProvider, DriverProvider, OpenAIConfig, Neo4jConfig

# 1. Configure your providers
llm_config = OpenAIConfig()  # Assumes OPENAI_API_KEY is in your environment
driver_config = Neo4jConfig() # Assumes NEO4J_URI, NEO4J_USER, NEO4J_PASSWORD are set

# 2. Create the GraphitiClient
# This client manages the connection to your knowledge graph
client = GraphitiClient.from_factory(
    llm_provider=LLMProvider.OPENAI,
    driver_provider=DriverProvider.NEO4J,
    llm_config=llm_config,
    driver_config=driver_config,
)

# 3. Create the agent tools
# These are the functions the agent can call to interact with the graph
tools = create_basic_agent_tools(client)

# 4. Set up your LangChain agent
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")
agent_executor = create_react_agent(llm, tools)

async def main():
    # Let's teach the agent something new
    await agent_executor.ainvoke({
        "messages": [("user", "Add this fact: 'Project Phoenix is managed by Alice.'")]
    })

    # Now, let's ask a question that requires recalling that fact
    response = await agent_executor.ainvoke({
        "messages": [("user", "Who manages Project Phoenix?")]
    })

    print(response["messages"][-1].content)
    # Expected output will mention that Alice manages Project Phoenix.

    # Clean up the client connection
    await client.close()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Advanced Usage

Using the GraphitiRetriever

The GraphitiRetriever is a powerful tool for fetching documents from your knowledge graph. It can be used in any standard LangChain RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) chain.

from langchain_core.runnables import RunnablePassthrough
from langchain_core.output_parsers import StrOutputParser
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langchain_graphiti import GraphitiRetriever

# Assume 'client' is an initialized GraphitiClient
retriever = GraphitiRetriever(client=client, k=5)

template = """
Answer the question based only on the following context:
{context}

Question: {question}
"""
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_template(template)

rag_chain = (
    {"context": retriever, "question": RunnablePassthrough()}
    | prompt
    | llm
    | StrOutputParser()
)

# This will search the graph for context related to the question
result = rag_chain.invoke("What were the key outcomes of the Q3 budget meeting?")
print(result)

Using the Full Toolset

For agents that require more advanced control over the knowledge graph, you can use the create_agent_tools factory to get the complete set of tools.

from langchain_graphiti.tools import create_agent_tools

# Get all available tools
advanced_tools = create_agent_tools(client)

# Create an agent with full capabilities
advanced_agent = create_react_agent(llm, advanced_tools)

# This agent can now perform advanced operations like:
# - Building communities
# - Removing specific episodes
# - Adding structured triplets directly
# - Optimizing the database with indices
