Book Review: Building Neo4j-Powered Applications with LLMs

 

As AI continues to transform how we build applications, the combination of graph databases and Large Language Models (LLMs) is unlocking powerful new possibilities. If you're a developer looking to go beyond traditional search and deliver intelligent, context-aware recommendations, Building Neo4j-Powered Applications with LLMs is a book you shouldn’t miss.

Why This Book Matters

Most AI resources today focus on vector databases or standalone LLM implementations. This book fills a crucial gap by showing how Neo4j’s graph-powered data modeling can complement LLM-driven reasoning to create more precise, connected, and explainable AI systems.

By the end, you’ll know how to:

• Build LLM-powered search systems that understand context and relationships.

• Design recommendation engines using graph algorithms and AI.

• Integrate Haystack for flexible retrieval pipelines.

• Use LangChain4j to bring LLMs into Java applications.

• Deploy scalable AI services with Spring AI.

Hands-On Learning

The book isn’t just theory—it’s packed with practical projects that guide you through:

• Setting up a knowledge graph as the backbone of your AI application.

• Combining LLMs with Neo4j to enable conversational search.

• Building real-time personalized recommendations.

• Optimizing your apps for production with Spring Boot.

Every chapter walks you through real-world scenarios, making it easy to follow along even if you're new to either Neo4j or LLM integrations.

Who Should Read It?

This book is perfect for:

• Backend developers eager to integrate AI into their services.

• Data engineers exploring graph-based retrieval systems.

• Java and Spring Boot developers looking to work with LLMs.

• AI enthusiasts curious about graph + LLM applications.

Final Verdict

Building Neo4j-Powered Applications with LLMs offers a clear, step-by-step roadmap to building smarter search tools, recommendation systems, and enterprise AI applications. Whether you’re experimenting with LLMs or deploying production-ready AI, this book will give you the edge you need.
