Start from the outcome, not the schema.

Five worked patterns where a connected data model earns its place. Each one is a shape CognoDB supports — with the graph model, the Cypher, and the questions teams actually ask.

Manage risk

The signal is in the connections — shared identifiers, paths to a flagged entity, transitive matches. Traversals find it where joins run out of depth.

Fraud detection

Fraud hides in relationships — shared cards, devices and addresses. Model transactions as a graph and expose rings that row-based queries can't reach.

Identity resolution

The same person exists three times across your systems. Model records and their attributes as a graph and merge duplicates by walking what they share.

Increase revenue

The behaviour of similar users is the oldest and strongest signal there is. Compute it live from the graph instead of last night's batch.

Recommendations

People who bought this also bought — computed live from the purchase graph, not from a nightly batch. Collaborative filtering as a two-hop Cypher traversal.

Build with AI

Give a model — or an agent — a graph it can traverse and cite, so answers are grounded in structure rather than similarity alone.

Knowledge management

Documents, people, systems and decisions, connected and queryable. Full-text search finds the node; the graph explains its context.

Agent memory

Give an agent a database it can query instead of a transcript it must re-read. One instance per agent or session, connected over MCP.

    No card. Ready in about a minute.

  2. Connect your driver

    bolt+ssc:// URI into the driver you already use.

  3. Write two MERGEs

    That's the entire shape of agent memory.
