🚀 cognee Update: March 2025

Hey there, cognee community! 👋

We're thrilled to share another round of exciting updates with you! In our latest sprint (we're averaging 3-4 releases per month now!), we've been cooking up something special that we think you'll love.

Before we dive in, here's a fun fact: Our team has pushed over 100 commits this month alone, and we've gotten +400 Github stars!** 🎉

On a lighter note, this month marked two firsts at cognee HQ: our office dog, Pinki, finally made it through without puking indoors, and we're rapidly approaching the infamous PR #666.

What's New?

✨ Ontology Support is Here!

You asked for ontology support—and now it's here, thanks to your valuable feedback (big shoutout to our awesome Discord community)! But what exactly is an ontology?

An ontology is a formal representation of knowledge that defines:

• Concepts within a domain

• Relationships between concepts

• Properties and attributes

You can now effortlessly add your OWL files, and they'll be matched automagically! See the details in our docs.

Why use ontologies? They help you ground LLMs with facts. Have a look at our example with German car makers.

Here's how smooth it looks in practice:

# The new implementation is as smooth as butter
  ontology_path = os.path.join(
        os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__name__)), "ontology_input_example/basic_ontology.owl"
    )
    pipeline_run = await cognee.cognify(ontology_file_path=ontology_path)

🎯 Import Your Relational Databases Directly

Say goodbye to manual database conversions! We've added relational database import capabilities, making it seamless for teams to bring structured relational data into cognee graphs. Why is this useful? We can store the data into the graphs and import your business metrics and let AI Agents use them. Find out more here (link to post)

🔧 Dreamify: Our Hyperparamagician

Rounding out our updates is Dreamify, a tool that has been in high demand among our customers. Dreamify—our hyperparameter tuning system—is here to turbocharge cognee’s performance.

Dreamify delivers:
