The strategy balances Oversight (a more traditional, prescriptive "tell me what you're doing and let me approve it" approach) and Insight (a "show me how you do it so I can trust the result" approach). 1.

#4130 Developing KG/RAG Systems for Small to Large Businesses

#4130 Developing KG/RAG Systems for Small to Large Businesses #4130  Describe how a low-budget solopreneur can develop knowledge graph + RAG-based systems for small to large businesses Developing a Knowledge Graph + RAG (GraphRAG) system as a solopreneur is no longer the "months-long enterprise slog" it used to be. By leveraging open-source orchestration frameworks and lean graph databases, you can build high-performance systems that outperform traditional vector-only RAG by capturing complex relationships and multi-hop reasoning. Here is a roadmap to building these systems for clients ranging from small boutiques to larger enterprises without a massive infrastructure budget. 1. The Solopreneur Stack (2026 Edition) To keep costs low, prioritize tools that offer a generous free tier or are entirely open-source. Component Recommended Tool Why for Solopreneurs? Orchestration LangChain or LlamaIndex Huge community support and pre-built GraphRAG templates. Graph Database Neo4j...
