## Choose when

### Choose graphify if…

- graphify is primarily Python; kedro-viz is JavaScript.
- License: graphify is MIT, kedro-viz is Apache-2.0.
- Requirements: Ensure to install from the correct PyPI package named `graphifyy` (with double 'y') and not other similar-named packages which are unaffiliated.; Installation involves setting up a Python environment ('venv') and ensuring all required extras are installed..
- Tags unique to graphify: claude-code, codex, gemini, knowledge-graph.
- Also covers AI Agents.
- graphify ships Docker support for self-hosted deployment.
- When you need to turn diverse file types (code, SQL schemas, documents, images) into a single queryable data structure that can be searched and analyzed together.

### Choose kedro-viz if…

- kedro-viz is primarily JavaScript; graphify is Python.
- License: kedro-viz is Apache-2.0, graphify is MIT.
- Tags unique to kedro-viz: data-visualization, experiment tracking, kedro-extension, kedro-plugin.
- When working with existing Kedro projects to visualize pipelines and gain insights into experiment outcomes efficiently.

## When NOT to use graphify

- If the project exclusively involves text-based content without requiring integration or querying across different file types (e.g., plain documents with no need for cross-referencing).
- Avoid using Graphify if you are looking for a tool that focuses solely on visual graph representation without the depth of semantic querying capabilities.

## When NOT to use kedro-viz

- For pipeline visualization and experiment tracking if the project is not built on the Kedro framework, as integration may be cumbersome or unsupported.
- In settings where real-time collaboration features are essential, as its focus leans towards individual or pre-defined team workflows within a specific tech stack.
