In this special webinar, we welcome Semih Salihoğlu, Ph.D., Co-founder & CEO of Kùzu Inc., who introduces Kùzu, an innovative open-source, embedded graph database with Cypher support. Unlike traditional graph databases, Kùzu runs locally as a lightweight library, requiring no external server, making it ideal for developers, researchers, and organizations seeking high-performance graph analytics without the cost or complexity of enterprise systems.

During the session, you’ll see how Tom Sawyer Perspectives 13.3 seamlessly integrates with Kùzu, enabling interactive graph visualizations, federated data exploration, and AI-ready workflows. Perspectives 13.3 also introduces significant enhancements to web client rendering, a more intelligent circular layout algorithm for enhanced visualizations, and a brand-new GraphRAG-ready demo that showcases how Perspectives can augment Large Language Models (LLMs) with structured, explainable graph insights.

What You’ll Learn
Kùzu Graph Database Overview – Modern, property graph engine with Cypher query support, built for performance and scalability.
Perspectives 13.3 Kùzu Integrator – Instantly connect, extract schema, and visualize graph data directly within Perspectives.
Enhanced Web Client Rendering – Optimized performance and responsiveness when working with complex graph applications.
Smarter Circular Layout – Reduced edge crossings and improved readability in clustered graph visualizations.
GraphRAG-Ready Demo: Launch Failure Analysis – Explore historical space mission data to see how knowledge graphs improve accuracy and trust in AI-driven workflows.
Q&A with Semih Salihoğlu – Insights into Kùzu’s development, academic roots, and future directions.

Why Kùzu + Perspectives 13.3 Matters for Graph Intelligence

As data becomes increasingly interconnected, traditional linear analysis methods fall short. Perspectives + Kùzu offers a powerful, flexible way to uncover hidden patterns, accelerate AI applications, and transform raw graph data into actionable intelligence. Whether you’re a data scientist, software developer, or enterprise architect, this webinar will show you how to harness the next generation of graph technology.
