Highlighted rows are where these differ.
Verba
- Ingestion, chunking and chat in one app
- Weaviate underneath
Best for putting a face on a corpus quickly.
GraphRAG
- Extracts entities and relationships, then summarises communities
- Answers “what are the themes here” which vector search cannot
- Expensive to index
Best for questions no single chunk can answer.
