Microsoft recently open-sourced the GraphRAG framework for information retrieval, utilizing graph-based structures. It automates the construction of knowledge graphs using LLMs and enhances retrieval by connecting related concepts and entities in a query for more contextual and accurate responses.

GraphRAG offers a larger connected context for retrieved information, which LLMs use to answer summarization-focused queries. It does not replace RAG but can significantly augment existing information extraction pipelines.

Asking questions on financial data is one example of a great use case for GraphRAG.
