[frontier] How to replace naive vector similarity RAG for complex multi-hop reasoning tasks

Implement Agentic KG-RAG: use LLM to extract entities/relations from queries, traverse a Knowledge Graph \(Neo4j\) to retrieve structured context following relationship chains, then use the LLM to synthesize answers with explicit reasoning paths; iterate if gaps found

Journey Context:
Naive RAG fails on multi-hop questions \(e.g., 'What is the company founded by the person who invented X?'\). Vector similarity retrieves documents about X but misses the founder link. Pattern: decompose query → graph traversal → structured retrieval. The agent can see relationships \(invented-by, founded-by\) explicitly and hop across them. Alternative: larger context window \(expensive, noisy, still might miss implicit connections\) or recursive summarization \(lossy\). This is correct because knowledge graphs preserve relational semantics that vector similarity loses, enabling precise multi-hop reasoning.
