This Week in Neo4j: Agents, Customer Analysis, GraphRAG, Quarkus and more

Alexander Erdl

Kurtis Van Gent

Welcome to This Week in Neo4j, your fix for news from the world of graph databases!

If you haven’t seen it, these past few days many people discussed the revelation by Klarna that they dropped lots of SaaS tools (including Salesforce) in favour of in-house AI-driven solutions, powered by Neo4j. See the post by Sebastian below as well as our summary in the blog.

Beyond this bombshell, we have a new Neo4j with Pyhton GraphAcademy Course; we model agentic memory, analyse banking customers, discuss GraphRAG over coffee and integrate Neo4j with Quarkus.

Happy Graphing,
Alexander Erdl
