Graph Analytics for Every Builder: What’s New, What’s Possible, and What’s Next

Session track: Data Intelligence

Session time:

Session description:

Graph Analytics has a reputation for being the domain of data scientists and algorithm experts, but that story is changing fast. In this session, you'll discover how Graph Analytics is becoming accessible to the full spectrum of Neo4j users and beyond, from analysts to app developers to ML practitioners. The session will cover the expanding use case landscape and how getting started with Graph Analytics has never been easier — whether you're building traditional analytics pipelines or AI-powered applications via MCP, agent skills, and Aura-native integrations. You'll then learn about the new capabilities of Aura Graph Analytics (deeper Python ecosystem integration, new algorithms, ML model persistence, async execution, and more), and how the Graph Analytics offering is evolving for self-managed customers. The session will end with a look at what's coming next that will change the scale at which graph analytics runs.
