Graphiti is a Python library and server framework for building temporal knowledge graphs that serve as persistent memory for AI agents. It ingests unstructured text episodes (messages, transcripts, JSON), uses LLMs to extract entities and relationships with bi-temporal validity windows, deduplicates against existing graph data, and provides hybrid search (semantic + BM25 + graph traversal) with configurable reranking. The codebase is structured around a clean driver abstraction (Neo4j, FalkorDB, Kuzu, Neptune) with per-provider operations classes, a prompt library supporting versioning and overrides, and a multi-provider LLM/embedder/cross-encoder client system. It is primarily an application library, though it includes evaluation infrastructure and research-grade deduplication algorithms (MinHash/LSH).

The LLM identified 4 files worth highlighting for reuse:

Defines GraphOperationsInterface, a Pydantic BaseModel that declares the full set of graph mutation and read operations (save/get/delete for all node/edge types, search, community ops). This interface acts as a contract that each database driver can implement, allowing backend-agnostic operation orchestration. The fallback mechanism (try interface, catch NotImplementedError, fallback to provider-branched queries) makes it extensible without breaking existing code. This pattern is reusable for any multi-database data access layer.

Provides predefined SearchConfig objects (e.g., COMBINED_HYBRID_SEARCH_RRF, NODE_HYBRID_SEARCH_CROSS_ENCODER) that compose search methods (fulltext, similarity, BFS) with rerankers (RRF, MMR, cross-encoder, node-distance, episode-mentions). These configs are declarative and can be used as is or customized via SearchConfig's builder methods. This pattern is reusable for any application needing configurable multi-stage retrieval pipelines.

Implements a multistage entity deduplication pipeline: first attempts exact-name and identity-property matching, then uses MinHash signatures with LSH bands for approximate similarity, entropy-gated fuzzy normalization, and finally escalates to LLM-based resolution. All stages are parameterizable and return structured DedupResolutionState. This module is self-contained and could be extracted as a standalone deduplication library for any entity resolution task.

Implements content-aware chunking: only chunks large, entity-dense content (measured by token density heuristics) and uses structure-preserving overlap for JSON/text/message formats. The covering-design algorithm (greedy Handshake with random fallback) generates chunk pairs for LLM edge extraction, ensuring all entity pairs are covered. This logic is self-contained and parameterizable via environment variables, making it reusable for any LLM extraction pipeline that needs to balance context window limits with entity coverage.
