An introductory guide to HASH for developers
HASH is a tool for turning raw information into knowledge and process graphs. It does this by allowing you to connect up and ingest both unstructured information (contained within documents and other files), as well as structured data (for example, from databases and applications). HASH then extracts semantically typed (SemType) entities from these, creating a unified knowledge graph and process graph, which is continuously checked, automatically maintained, and kept up-to-date.
HASH provides a graphical user interface atop hgres, along with a range of AI-powered entity and type extraction, workflow orchestration, and other capabilities. It provides individuals, as well as groups of users, with their own semantic "web" of information, drawn from different sources and platforms, or created directly with HASH.
With HASH, you can:

For more information on how HASH is actually used, see the Using HASH section.
Because of it's design, HASH effectively (but optionally) supports the gradual elimination of competing sources of truth, helping reduce information failure, and rationalize data assets.
HASH was created with incremental adoption in mind. Services can be integrated progressively, one-by-one, and used within or alongside HASH. At no point will you need to choose between using HASH and another system you or others in your organization are accustomed to. In the future, you'll also be able to recreate most external systems directly within HASH, through HASH's tool-building functionality, allowing for the optional, gradual, risk-free replacement and deprecation of legacy external services over time.
HASH's most important primitives are outlined in the general HASH User Guide, under the Core Concepts page.
You're currently viewing the developer docs for the core HASH application. The user guide for HASH is located separately, at hash.ai/guide
If you're looking for product-specific docs, for example relating to hgres or Petrinaut, use the product-switcher near the top-left of this page. It's the dropdown with the colored HASH icon inside of it. Once pressed, you'll be able to switch to view developer documentation for any of our other products.
