Example prompts

Talk2Graph understands plain language — you do not need special syntax. The examples below are grouped by what you're trying to do. They are patterns, not magic words: rephrase them freely to match your own graph and columns. Where a prompt refers to a column (like threat_score or account_type), swap in a column that exists in your data.

Understand the graph

Ask about the shape and schema of what you're looking at.

• What's in this session?
• Describe this graph
• What columns do the nodes have?
• How many nodes and edges are there?
• Show me a few sample rows

Find, filter, and count

Show, list, or count nodes and edges matching a description — including multi-hop traversals. Results that come back as tables are shown inline in the chat as a collapsible table you can scroll.

• Show me all Author nodes
• List nodes where status is active
• How many nodes have degree greater than 10?
• Top 10 accounts by pagerank
• Which workflow_family spans the most business_units?
• Show the full lineage of dashboard_00490 (multi-hop traversal)
• Find everything connected to account C17693 within two hops

Color and highlight

Paint a subset a color to make it stand out. Each coloring becomes a collection you can manage afterward. You can give an exact color (hex) or a named palette.

• Color all Author nodes red
• Highlight fraud accounts in #00FFFF
• Highlight the PII-flagged assets using the Blues palette
• Color nodes where amount is between 1000 and 5000 orange
• Color the edges between C17693 and its neighbors green

Centrality — no algorithm name needed

You don't have to know graph theory. Describe the idea and Talk2Graph picks the right measure and colors the top nodes for it:

• Highlight the most influential accounts
• Color the bridge nodes purple
• Show the most authoritative pages

Detect communities

Run community detection and get a plain summary of each cluster — its size and, importantly, what makes it distinct (the attributes that are over-represented in it). This produces a text summary; it does not color the graph on its own, but you can follow up and ask to color a specific community.

• Summarize the top communities
• What clusters exist in this graph?
• Show me the 3 biggest communities and what distinguishes them
• Break the clusters down by sentiment
• Now color community 1 (follow-up after a summary)

Manage what's on screen

Adjust or clean up the colorings you've created.

• What collections are on the graph right now?
• Bring the bridge-accounts collection to the front
• Rename that collection to "Key Influencers" and make it blue
• Remove the pagerank collection
• Reset the colors / Clear all collections

Refining a result

Conversation is stateful — you can build on the previous answer. If a coloring or filter isn't quite right, just describe the change:

• Same thing, but only where amount > 1000
• Make that a darker blue
• Now also include the edges
