LLM-powered AI agents are all the rage right now. Designed to mimic human reasoning, Agentic AI systems are designed to enable a dramatic rise in the effectiveness and efficiency of data-driven decision-making. However, this reasoning must be based on a rich and well-structured body of knowledge. Without that, accessing the right insight at the right time can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack, consuming enormous resources and taking a lot of time–time that business leaders can’t afford to waste.

For example, as of June 2024, only 32% of Marketing professionals worldwide considered their data-driven strategies highly successful, while the majority saw only moderate success. One of the key hurdles they face is real-time decision-making, which along with maintaining data quality and performing accurate audience segmentation, emerges as one of the biggest challenges in executing effective data-driven marketing.

Another research (by McKinsey) reveals that executives dedicate almost 40% of their time to decision-making, yet much of it is inefficient and unproductive, highlighting a major challenge in deriving accurate, actionable insights just in time at the leadership level.

With most businesses analyzing only 37% to 40% of their data, it is not surprising that even with the advent of LLMs, the data-readiness gap continues to plague organizations, and in turn, limits the powers of LLM-powered Agentic AI.

In other words, LLMs must be fed accurate, contextual, and well-defined knowledge to ensure superior outcomes.

While generic, off-the-shelf AI agents can be powerful in handling routine, pre-trained tasks, the ability of an AI agent to reason in complex circumstances and uncharted territories depends on the quality of the domain knowledge it draws from. For example, let’s take the classic DIKW framework (Data → Information → Knowledge → Wisdom). Since insights are what truly drive decisions, a natural (and more accurate) extension of this would be DIKWI (Data → Information → Knowledge → Wisdom → Insights).

Now, LLMs can accelerate this process, but they have some serious blind spots:

• Bad data, bad decisions – If the data quality is poor, so is the output of LLMs.
• Limited real-world understanding – LLMs lack domain expertise, business logic, and operational context.
• Limited to training received – If it’s not in the training data of LLMs, it doesn’t exist for them.
• Guesswork in disguise – When LLMs don’t know something, they make it up.

But what if your AI agent could autonomously navigate the entire enterprise data ecosystem while understanding the context without requiring any human intervention? This is where the Knowledge Graph comes into play.

Why Is the Knowledge Graph So Important for AI Agents?

Depending on their capabilities, Agentic AI systems can generate four distinct outputs:

1. Results: What is the data telling us?
2. Insights: What best explains what the data reveals?
3. Recommendations: What are the next best steps to achieve a goal based on the results and insights?
4. Actions: Can these recommendations be executed autonomously by the agent(s) without human intervention?

These four outputs, in turn, lead to the outcome, i.e. whether the goal is achieved or not. Now, the outcome of an AI agent's reasoning directly correlates to the quality of the knowledge it leverages.

While LLMs excel at capturing the fluid relationships between data abstractions, Knowledge Graphs provide the underlying logical structure. This structured knowledge ensures accuracy and logical consistency, making it a reliable foundation for decision-making by Agentic AI Systems.

Thus, when combined, LLM-powered Agentic AI systems and Knowledge Graphs create a powerful synergy. LLMs bring fluidity and adaptability to the core reasoning engine, while Knowledge Graphs add reliability, trustworthiness, and a logical understanding. Together, they provide a robust, well-rounded AI system that can navigate both the complexities of real-time data and the intricacies of organizational knowledge.

Tony Seale writes in this article, “LLMs like ChatGPT have taken the world by storm, but for enterprises, they are only half of the equation. Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are the other half, providing the reliability and structured understanding that LLMs lack.”

In another article, Kingsley Uyi Idehen writes, “The relationship between AI Agents and Knowledge Graphs is symbiotic,...”

And of course, Gartner noted in its 2023 report that "Data and analytics leaders must leverage the power of LLMs with the robustness of knowledge graphs for fault-tolerant AI applications."

But How Do LLM-Powered Agentic AI Systems and Knowledge Graphs Work Together?

The marriage between Knowledge Graphs and AI Agents marks a fundamental shift from traditional linear workflows to more dynamic systems that excel in handling parallel execution. To achieve this synergy, LLMs must be integrated with Knowledge Graphs using advanced methods such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

RAG enhances the depth of knowledge available to LLMs by adding context to each data point. Without RAG, LLMs only know what they've been pre-trained on. With RAG, data scientists can fuel real-time, context-rich interaction with the Agentic AI system. However, even so, a substantial risk of hallucination remains with RAG.

In FORMCEPT’s flagship product,  MECBot, we take this a step further by implementing Graph-based RAG, where the Knowledge Graph is injected into LLMs as the main source of context for the AI Agents. This approach reduces the risk of hallucinations to near zero by embedding real-time, accurate contextual data in a domain-driven manner in the LLMs.

Let’s find out how.

FORMCEPT’s Unique Agentic Graph Systems (AGS): Marrying Agentic AI With Enterprise Knowledge Graph

Within MECBot, the core contextual data interpretation engine, MecBrain, uses a unique concept known as Metaspace that serves as the metadata powerhouse of the entire data ecosystem, connecting billions of data points in real-time, and acting as a centralized, unified, and trusted data layer for the entire enterprise.

Using Metaspace, MecBrain seamlessly fuses all enterprise data, advanced metadata, and knowledge bases (Universal Knowledge, Domain Knowledge, and Enterprise Knowledge) to create the Enterprise Knowledge Graph. It is backed by a dynamic Domain Ontology, which complements this by providing a foundational language for describing the relationships between entities, attributes, and domains within the Enterprise Knowledge Graph, thereby enabling AI agents to reason and infer like humans (domain experts). MecBrain orchestrates this process end-to-end while embedding a continuous layer of real-time contextual data into every data point, every query, and every insight.

This system of context-aware, specialized, and domain-driven agents constitutes the MecGPT, which is FORMCEPT’s Agentic AI innovation powered by MecBrain.

The unique architecture and deep context awareness of MecGPT drastically reduce the engineering burden on users by autonomously (and continuously) detecting, capturing, and updating data relationships in real time. It can instantly traverse these relationships, identify root causes behind issues, provide actionable insights, and even initiate actions based on those insights.

Thus, At the heart of FORMCEPT’s MecGPT is a revolutionary Agentic Graph System which is a context-driven integration of AI agents and Enterprise Knowledge Graph that comprises:

1. The Knowledge Layer: Organizes data, metadata, and relationships between data in a domain-driven manner to support context-first decision-making.
