What you'll learn

Compare RAG and GraphRAG performance

Understand where GraphRAG improves retrieval, reasoning, and answer quality over traditional RAG and keyword search

Build and maintain dynamic knowledge graphs

Learn practical approaches for updating, governing, and scaling a knowledge graph over time.

Design enterprise-ready GraphRAG systems

Explore role-based access, security, and real-world use cases for production AI applications.

Why this topic matters

As AI agents move into production, retrieval quality becomes a competitive advantage. Understanding when GraphRAG outperforms traditional RAG and how to manage knowledge graphs securely at scale is essential for building accurate, reliable enterprise AI systems.

Hamza Farooq

Founder | Ex-Google & Walmart Labs |Adjunct UCLA & UMN, SCU | Venture Partner

Hi, I’m Hamza. I’m a founder by day and a professor by night, working at the intersection of Agents and Product Design.

I started Traversaal.ai with a simple goal: to build scalable AI products for startups and enterprises that integrate smoothly into existing systems while staying flexible and cost efficient.

We’ve had the opportunity to work with Fortune 100 companies, and the lessons from those experiences are woven directly into this course.

This course brings together everything I’ve learned in practice, along with the material I teach across universities.

I still spend a lot of time writing code, you can check out my GitHub.

I also share my thoughts and learnings on how organizations should think about moving demos to production grade scale on, The Production Gap: Substack.
