# Build graph-based retrieval workflows with GraphRAG

Index private text into graph-backed retrieval structures, tune prompts, and query the resulting knowledge graph for RAG workflows.

## Prerequisites

Python, GraphRAG CLI/package, LLM credentials, bounded text corpus

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- trademarks or logos is subject to and must follow
- Use of Microsoft trademarks or logos in modified versions of this project must not cause confusion or imply Microsoft sponsorship.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- To get started with the GraphRAG system we recommend trying the [command line quickstart](https://microsoft.github.io/graphrag/get_started/).
- This repository presents a methodology for using knowledge graph memory structures to enhance LLM outputs. Please note that the provided code serves as a demonstration and is not an officially supported Microsoft offe...
- ⚠️ *Warning: GraphRAG indexing can be an expensive operation, please read all of the documentation to understand the process and costs involved, and start small.*
