Why GNNs matter for tabular data
Graph Neural Networks aren't just for social networks — they're transforming prediction tasks on structured business data.

The relational gap
Traditional ML treats every row as independent. But real-world data is connected — every order has a customer, every customer has a session history, every product sits in a category hierarchy.
GNNs learn from the connections themselves.
Three wins from a GNN
- Less manual feature engineering
- Better performance on sparse/cold-start cases
- Natural handling of new relationships as your schema evolves

The Langsat approach
We use message-passing over the heterogeneous graph defined by your foreign keys. No graph theory required on your end — just upload your tables.
