In this episode, we welcome Chef Anisha Latchman to the AI kitchen to cook up something special: GraphRAG. Anisha, a college senior and security intern, walks us through how GraphRAG—an open-source project from Microsoft—is transforming how we search and analyze security data using graphs and embeddings.
From parsing emails to uncovering hidden relationships and themes, this episode is a delicious blend of technical insight and practical demo. Whether you’re new to Retrieval-Augmented Generation or curious about graph-based search, this one’s for you.
