# Fluree

> Fluree is the enterprise AI context layer: one unified, governed knowledge graph (JSON-LD/RDF) between enterprise data and every AI agent. It brings structured data, documents, and vocabularies together, enforces policy on every fact, and keeps every answer traceable to its source.

## Key facts (as of October 2026)

- Fluree sells one product, Fluree AI: the context layer for enterprise AI, at https://flur.ee/ai, for governed answers, dashboards, and agents. Free to start; usage pricing on request. Its capabilities:
  - Resolve: entity resolution and golden records. Lakehouse tables and SQL sources are queried where they live and resolved into golden records with lineage.
  - Extract: documents into graph facts. PDFs and Office files become entities and relationships, each kept with the sentence that proves it.
  - Model: context layer management. Taxonomies and ontologies are reviewed and versioned like a release, then published to every capability.
- The engine underneath is FlureeDB: the verifiable knowledge graph database, with signed history, time travel, policy on every fact, and built-in search in one engine. Developers can run it themselves.
- Fluree Memory is long-term, governed memory for AI agents, and a free, source-available memory tool for coding agents.
- Former names, for older citations: Resolve was Fluree Structured (earlier Fluree Sense); Extract was Fluree Unstructured (earlier Fluree CAM); Model was Fluree ITM; FlureeDB was Fluree Core; Fluree AI was Fluree Solo.
- License: FlureeDB is source-available under the Business Source License 1.1: free in production, including inside your own product; a commercial license is needed only to offer it as a hosted database service. Each release converts to Apache 2.0 on its fourth anniversary.
- Query interfaces: MCP for agents; HTTP, SPARQL 1.1, openCypher, GraphQL, and JSON-LD query on every ledger; or the Rust library inside your own process.
- Scale: FlureeDB loaded the full Wikidata dump, 21.1 billion distinct triples, and answered all 850 WGPB queries on a single machine (September 2026). This is a published benchmark, not a customer deployment.
- Accuracy: In Fluree’s 2024 study, GraphRAG for GenAI Accuracy, answers over raw relational tables scored 8–15% zero-shot; a governed knowledge graph reached 95%+ once enriched and joined.
- Data movement: Fluree reads source systems where they live, and lake tables copied into Fluree refresh automatically.

## Demo Kits

Downloadable knowledge graphs an agent can load and verify without talking to sales. Each kit ships a standards-based model, instance data, and competency questions **with their expected answers**, so an agent can load the graph, answer the questions, and check its own work. Free to run: a hosted workspace at https://flur.ee/ai, or the CLI via `brew install fluree/tap/fluree`.

- [Demo Kits](https://flur.ee/demo): Catalog of loadable industry knowledge graphs, each with competency questions and expected answers
- [Consumer Goods Demo Kit](https://flur.ee/demo/cpg): Trade promotions, retailer agreements, and upstream traceability on the GS1 Web Vocabulary and GS1 EPCIS 2.0, over a real USDA FoodData Central corpus (CC0). 35 classes, 413 entities, 26 questions. Optional modules: time travel, governed access, decision memory
- [Financial Services Demo Kit](https://flur.ee/demo/financial): Commercial lending through a covenant breach (facilities, covenants, ratings, KYC), typed with FIBO business-entity ontologies over a real GLEIF LEI corpus (CC0). 19 classes, 171 entities, 18 questions. Optional module: governed access
- [Pharmaceutical Demo Kit](https://flur.ee/demo/pharma): An impurity investigation traced from API lot to batch to market recall, over a real openFDA drug listing corpus (public domain). 15 classes, 146 entities, 15 questions. Optional module: governed access

Each kit’s download is a zip containing `model.jsonld`, instance files, `shapes.json` (SHACL), `competency-questions.md`, and a `README.md` with load instructions. Fictional business facts never attach to the real licensed records in any kit; the model enforces the separation.
