This endpoint retrieves relevant context from your knowledge graph based on a textual prompt. Understanding how the system processes your prompt is critical to achieving best-in-class results.
  1. Similarity search: The knowledge graph is first searched to find nodes that are most similar to the prompt. This ensures that only the most relevant information is considered for retrieval.
  2. Optional reranking: If rerank is enabled, the system also analyzes the prompt for example for bullet points or enumerated instructions (e.g., “1) Look at this, 2) Include this as well, 3) This is also important”). These bullets are used to rerank the retrieved nodes so that the final context better reflects the user’s priorities and instructions.
