PersonalAI 2.0: Enhancing knowledge graph traversal/retrieval with planning mechanism for Personalized LLM Agents

We introduce PersonalAI 2.0 (PAI-2), a novel framework, designed to enhance large language model (LLM) based systems through integration of external knowledge graphs (KG). The proposed approach addresses key limitations of existing Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) methods by incorporating a dynamic, multistage query processing pipeline. The central point of PAI-2 design is its ability to perform adaptive, iterative information search, guided by extracted entities, matched graph vertices and generated clue-queries. Conducted evaluation over six benchmarks (Natural Questions, TriviaQA, HotpotQA, 2WikiMultihopQA, MuSiQue and DiaASQ) demonstrates improvement in factual correctness of generating answers compared to analogues methods (LightRAG, RAPTOR, and HippoRAG 2). PAI-2 achieves 4% average gain by LLM-as-a-Judge across four benchmarks, reflecting its effectiveness in reducing hallucination rates and increasing precision. We show that use of graph traversal algorithms (e.g. BeamSearch, WaterCircles) gain superior results compared to standard flatten retriever on average 6%, while enabled search plan enhancement mechanism gain 18% boost compared to disabled one by LLM-as-a-Judge across six datasets. In addition, ablation study reveals that PAI-2 achieves the SOTA result on MINE-1 benchmark, achieving 89% information-retention score, using LLMs from 7-14B tiers. Collectively, these findings underscore the potential of PAI-2 to serve as a foundational model for next-generation personalized AI applications, requiring scalable, context-aware knowledge representation and reasoning capabilities.
