Report #44765

[architecture] Agent fails to answer questions requiring connecting two separate facts across different documents

Use a graph-based memory \(Knowledge Graph\) alongside vector stores, or implement iterative retrieval loops where the agent uses the results of one search to formulate the next.

Journey Context:
Vector DBs are great for single-hop semantic search but terrible at relational multi-hop queries. If A relates to B, and B relates to C, a vector search for A won't find C. Graph RAG extracts entities and relationships, allowing the agent to traverse the graph to connect distant concepts, solving the multi-hop reasoning gap.
