Building a Chat Bot in Neo4j Part 3

In part one, we learned to listen to our users, in part two we began learning how to talk back. Before we go any further in to the stored procedure, how about we build a little front end to show off the work we’ve done so far on this proof of concept? That will also make things easier to test out and let us get into the mindset of the user. There are a ton of options here, lots of folks like Spring and Spring Boot. Others are more hipsters and into Micronaut. I am even more of a hipster and prefer to use Jooby, but it doesn’t really matter. We’ll be using Cypher, the Neo4j Drivers and the Stored Procedures we build along the way so technically you can do this in just about any language.

So with those disclaimers out of the way, let’s see what we can do.

The Real Property Graph

Is not that thing above. That’s a Chart, not a Graph. But anyway…Neo4j is designed to support the property graph model natively. There are a host of other technologies that can bolt-on a “graph layer” of some kind. However it doesn’t make them a graph database. It’s like adding a rear spoiler to a van, sure it may look cool… or ridiculous, but it won’t make it a race car. Don’t fall for it. If you need fast graph queries, use a real graph database. But today we won’t talk about that. Instead we’re going to talk about the real property graph…
