Greg Eisenberg discusses the concept of graph engineering, explaining how it can enhance AI workflows by structuring tasks into manageable steps rather than relying on a single AI interaction.
Key points
Graph engineering is a useful concept that helps design AI workflows as manageable processes rather than one giant chat. 0:38
Graph engineering differs from prompt and context engineering by focusing on workflow design around AI. 1:29
A practical example of graph engineering involves breaking down a research task into multiple angles and roles. 2:51
Graph engineering uses basic vocabulary like jobs, arrows, and state to define workflows. 3:35
Knowledge graphs and agent graphs are two types of graphs used in AI. 6:45
Graph engineering is beneficial for complex tasks with multiple steps and sources. 9:59
The process of graph engineering can start manually before automating it with tools. 13:37
Graph engineering enhances quality by making workflows less dependent on perfect prompts. 20:06
The goal of graph engineering is to create the smallest graph that improves work quality. 21:14
Graph engineering creates a memory that enhances future workflows. 21:46
Quotes
Graph engineering gives you a better way to produce the evidence you use to make the decision.
The goal is actually to make the smallest graph that improves the quality of work.
Graph engineering turns AI work from just like chat into this operating system.
