## About cognee
|
|
|
|
cognee works locally and stores your data on your device.
|
|
Our hosted solution is just our deployment of OSS cognee on Modal, with the goal of making development and productionization easier.
|
|
|
|
Self-hosted package:
|
|
|
|
- Interconnects any kind of documents: past conversations, files, images, and audio transcriptions
|
|
- Replaces RAG systems with a memory layer based on graphs and vectors
|
|
- Reduces developer effort and cost, while increasing quality and precision
|
|
- Provides Pythonic data pipelines that manage data ingestion from 30+ data sources
|
|
- Is highly customizable with custom tasks, pipelines, and a set of built-in search endpoints
|
|
|
|
Hosted platform:
|
|
- Includes a managed UI and a [hosted solution](https://www.cognee.ai)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Self-Hosted (Open Source)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 📦 Installation
|
|
|
|
You can install Cognee using either **pip**, **poetry**, **uv** or any other python package manager.
|
|
|
|
Cognee supports Python 3.10 to 3.12
|
|
|
|
#### With uv
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv pip install cognee
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Detailed instructions can be found in our [docs](https://docs.cognee.ai/getting-started/installation#environment-configuration)
|
|
|
|
### 💻 Basic Usage
|
|
|
|
#### Setup
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
import os
|
|
os.environ["LLM_API_KEY"] = "YOUR OPENAI_API_KEY"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also set the variables by creating .env file, using our <a href="https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee/blob/main/.env.template">template.</a>
|
|
To use different LLM providers, for more info check out our <a href="https://docs.cognee.ai/setup-configuration/llm-providers">documentation</a>
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Simple example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
##### Python
|
|
|
|
This script will run the default pipeline:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import cognee
|
|
import asyncio
|
|
|
|
|
|
async def main():
|
|
# Add text to cognee
|
|
await cognee.add("Cognee turns documents into AI memory.")
|
|
|
|
# Generate the knowledge graph
|
|
await cognee.cognify()
|
|
|
|
# Add memory algorithms to the graph
|
|
await cognee.memify()
|
|
|
|
# Query the knowledge graph
|
|
results = await cognee.search("What does cognee do?")
|
|
|
|
# Display the results
|
|
for result in results:
|
|
print(result)
|
|
|
|
|
|
if __name__ == '__main__':
|
|
asyncio.run(main())
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Example output:
|
|
```
|
|
Cognee turns documents into AI memory.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
##### Via CLI
|
|
|
|
Let's get the basics covered
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cognee-cli add "Cognee turns documents into AI memory."
|
|
|
|
cognee-cli cognify
|
|
|
|
cognee-cli search "What does cognee do?"
|
|
cognee-cli delete --all
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
or run
|
|
```
|
|
cognee-cli -ui
|
|
```
