Tariff Chaos is a C-Suite Problem
Stardog’s Knowledge Graph-powered semantic layer gives the C-suite real-time, AI-powered visibility into supply chain exposure.
Knowledge Graphs are Critical to Trustworthy Enterprise AI
Knowledge graphs are essential for trustworthy enterprise AI. Learn how a federated knowledge layer solves data fragmentation, mitigates misinformation risks, and delivers hallucination-free AI.
Agents Need Democratized Data Too
Agentic AI needs democratized data access for the same reasons as people need it. Neither can succeed productively without it. Agents won’t act even semi-autonomously on our behalf until they can access data about the enterprises we both serve.
Enterprise AI Requires the Fusion of LLM and Knowledge Graph
The only way to win with AI in the enterprise is to have the right data strategy, and the key to data strategy for AI is to deploy a platform that offers the best of LLM and knowledge graph.
Stardog Reporting for Duty
Stardog excels at connecting information across boundaries and constraints, and fueling critical decision making by enabling the mission with the revolutionary Generative AI (GenAI) capabilities like Voicebox.
GenAI is a Productivity Revolution
Stardog Voicebox ROI comes from eliminating a significant part of the tedium of knowledge work—the “dead time”—by fully democratizing access to insight.
Three Evaluation & Design Questions of GenAI: UX, Data, Analytics
What sorts of questions a tool can answer is a key differentiator when evaluating GenAI apps that will really make a difference to your business.
The Stardog Voicebox Vision
Enable anyone to ask any question of any data and get accurate, timely, and hallucination-free answers—immediately. Check out the details.
Voicebox in the Sweet Spot
Stardog Voicebox is an hallucination-free, fast, accurate AI Data Assistant that has a special sweet spot: needle-in-a-haystack and path question answering for diverse enterprise data.

Radical versus Pragmatic AI: Stardog is in the pragmatic faction, focused on better GenAI outcomes for the enterprise
Safety RAG: Improving AI Safety by Extending AI's Data Reach
Safety RAG (SRAG) is how we get to 100% hallucination-free answers.
Always Knowing What to Say Next
LLMs are machines for telling people (and other machines) what to say do next. Making them a part of ongoing streams of conversation is the key to using AI successfully.
Using RAG for Question Answering in Regulated Industries is a Bad Idea
The current rage for RAG in LLMs and GenAI is a very dumb idea for regulated enterprises. DO NOT DO THIS.
How AI Uses Stardog
In our previous post we answered the question how Stardog uses AI by explaining our use of Hybrid AI with LLM to build, manage, and query knowledge graphs with ordinary language. The question today goes the other way around; how does AI use Stardog, that is, how does enterprise generative AI use an enterprise knowledge graph?
How Stardog Uses AI
Stardog was predicated on a long-term bet that data management and knowledge management were on a collision course, set out by Google, and that Knowledge Graph was the intersection point. From 2023’s perspective, it looks like our long-term bet was correct.
What if a Semantic Layer Isn’t Just for Generic Biz Metrics Any More?
The “metrics layer” is the oldest and foundational semantic layer use case. But there’s a new breed of semantic layer use cases that Stardog and its customers are pioneering.
Where Does Business Logic Go?
Let’s talk about business logic. Where should it live inside the enterprise?
Semantic Layers: Four Characteristics that Define the Valuable New Approach
The secret to data analytics success today is a democratized, self-service data platform, and that’s only possible when you leverage a semantic layer to shift from columns to concepts.
Reflections on the 2022 Data & AI Summit
A trip report reflecting on the highlights of the 2022 Data & AI Summit. We discuss Spark Connect, Delta Lake 2.0, Databricks Unity Data Catalog, and Partner Connect. Databricks has mapped out a path to the future, and Stardog is well-aligned with our partner Databricks’ worldview.
Connected Enterprises Care about Meaning, Not about Data
