AI agents assert relationships such as compatible products, cleared counterparties, or approved suppliers, derived from LLM reasoning rather than verified data. When these assertions are wrong, downstream business decisions fail.

Nov 30, 2026AWS re:Invent 2026AWS re:Inventbuilders sessionBuild agentic GraphRAG apps with Amazon Neptune
as AWS
GraphRAG combines knowledge graphs with RAG to produce explainable responses grounded in semantic relationships between concepts, entities, and underlying…Show less

GraphRAG combines knowledge graphs with RAG to produce explainable responses grounded in semantic relationships between concepts, entities, and underlying content. Agentic GraphRAG takes this further, allowing agents to autonomously decide which GraphRAG tools to use to achieve information goals.

A security graph represents assets that you want to protect and the relationships between these assets and roles within your organization, such as computer networks, telecommunications networks, distribution routes, payment systems, and other parts of your IT infrastructure. In this builders’ session, model these assets, use relationships in your data to consider how different dimensions of...
