If you configure the environment variables in the env file above, cognee fills this part automatically. Otherwise you can configure here or make changes.
When you click “Upload your data”, you will be prompted to select from your local files. You can select multiple files. In this example we will select one. When it’s completed, click “Next”.
This step automatically starts building a knowledge graph from the data you uploaded in the previous step using cognee’s default pipeline cognify. Depending on the size of your data, you might need to wait a few minutes but generally it is completed in seconds. When completed, click “Explore data”.
On the left side, you can visually explore your knowledge graph. Using the chat interface on the left side, you can query it with 3 different retrieval approaches.
Now you can experiement with the available search types. In this example, we’ll use Completion using Cognee’s graph based memory and ask questions about the data we added, the novel - Alice in Wonderland.When you click X on the upper right corner, you’ll reach an overview page where you can see the dataset you populated with your files.
Here you can add more files, view your files, or navigate to the Explore page again.That’s it!This is a quick tutorial to help you get started with cognee UI.
