I see that you mention Microsoft’s GraphRAG. My understanding is that a key part of their approach is hierarchical agglomeration of graph clusters to be able to answer wide questions from the graph. Is that in the works?

Yes, that is in the works and is a high priority for us. The major discussion point internally around implementing this feature has been on the retrieval portion. In general we want to provide many flexible search strategies that return a variety of different information. We want to organize search in such a way that it is flexible enough to meet a variety of demands, while also being ergonomic enough to be usable and understandable. We want to make sure that we update our retrieval approach at the same time as adding the community summaries so that it is easy to make use of this additional information.

Our implementation will likely involve us adding community nodes that will contain a summary of the nodes in that community. Did you have any perspective or opinions on best ways to implement the graphRAG style summarizations?
