To kick off 2025, we sat down with Conode’s Founder and CEO, Chess Stetson, to reflect on what makes our platform unique, why knowledge graphs matter, and what’s next for Conode in 2025.

What is Conode?

At Conode, we are transforming human-AI interaction with our advanced graph analytics platform, built specifically for AI.

The Conode platform enables rapid development of knowledge graphs and provides actionable insights with speed and depth. It reveals deep insights orders of magnitude faster than contemporary platforms and serves as a general-purpose medium for AI agent interaction.

Why are Knowledge Graphs Critical for AI today?

"Knowledge graphs unite data mesh and data fabric architectures"

- VentureBeat

"80% of data and analytics innovations will be made using graph technology by 2025"

- CIO Magazine

"Graph RAG systems capture rich semantic relationships that might be lost in a vectorized embedding"

- Gartner

There are some core reasons for Knowledge Graphs emerging as the most effective, general-purpose data architecture for AI.

Traditional database schemas still confuse AI agents: AIs have trouble navigating traditional database schemas and writing efficient queries.

Knowledge Graphs, on the other hand are AI-like data structures, with a single source of truth. They provide precise control over the data needed to ground AI behavior as well as enabling deeper insights through the interconnectedness of data within the graph.

For organizations adopting GenAI, this control and connectivity are essential for achieving accuracy and scale.

What Sets Conode Apart?

At Conode we are redefining what is possible with knowledge graphs. By putting all data at your fingertips, Conode empowers teams to make better, faster decisions based on actionable insights.

Speed of 100% No Code and In-Memory Graph: Traditional methods for building knowledge graphs can take weeks, but Conode constructs them in just hours.
Automatic Data Fusion: Our platform automatically fuses disparate datasets, flags data migration anomalies and leverages Graph RAG to streamline data fusion.
Ontology Creation and Maintenance: Conode enriches unstructured text with generative AI
Embeddings and Visibility: Conode’s real-time graph technology calculates embeddings 10-100x faster than competitors, enabling rapid, quantitative answers to natural-language questions. It also provides unmatched observability into the data, giving organisations extraordinary depth and insight.

Our combination of speed, power, and flexibility is seen nowhere else in the market.

Who are Conode’s Customers?

We work with leading AI and AV developers, including NVIDIA, who trust our platform for its speed, flexibility, and insight. While we began with AI-first enterprises, we’re now expanding into the broader enterprise market, helping organizations from diverse sectors ground their GenAI operations and maximize the value of their data.

What Results Have You Seen So Far?

Our customers have achieved remarkable outcomes, and we can't wait to release more examples in upcoming news releases. In one recent case, we helped improve AI accuracy in GenAI translation applications from less than 80% to over 95%. In another case, one of our clients uncovered over $30M in savings opportunities within just hours of loading data into Conode’s knowledge graph.

How is Conode Positioned for the Future?

Conode is built by a world-class team with expertise from Caltech, Harvard, Cambridge, and Oxford. Backed by 10 granted patents, we’ve created a completely unique, visuospatial, collaborative experience that combines human insight with AI power.

Let’s Connect in 2025

Looking ahead, we’re excited to expand our partnerships and help enterprises explore the vast potential of knowledge graphs as a foundational architecture for GenAI.

Whether you’re tackling complex data challenges or simply want to explore the possibilities of our platform, we’re eager to collaborate.

In the meantime, if you’re interested in partnering with us or learning more, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Let’s make 2025 the year of innovation and breakthroughs together.
