Kuzu V0 120 — Better
If you are migrating from Neo4j, the friction drops to nearly zero. The parser in v0.1.2 handles 95% of standard Cypher (excluding APOC procedures, which are irrelevant in embedded contexts). This makes the phrase "better" synonymous with "compatible."

This is perhaps Kuzu's killer app. By combining a performant, on-disk HNSW vector index with the graph traversal capabilities of Cypher, Kuzu enables the creation of highly intelligent retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. It's a perfect platform for building "agentic" systems that can use vector search alongside graph queries to find the most contextually relevant information. As the Kuzu team writes, this approach can "significantly enhance" GraphRAG performance.
