Initialize the Client
Create a Praxos client instance and initialize an environment:Add Data Sources to Your Knowledge Graph
Praxos supports multiple data source types. Let’s start with adding a conversation and a business data file:Add a Conversation
Add Business Data
Monitor Indexing Status
The knowledge graph requires time to index new sources. Indexing duration varies based on source size. Monitor the status before querying:Use Intelligent Search (Recommended)
Now that your data is indexed, use Praxos’s AI-powered Intelligent Search for natural language queries:More Natural Language Queries
Extract Structured Information
Extract specific data types from your indexed sources:Legacy Context Retrieval
