+# Neo4j Context Providers
+
+Neo4j offers two context providers for the Agent Framework, each serving a different purpose:
+
+| | [Neo4j Memory](../neo4j_memory/README.md) | [Neo4j GraphRAG](../../../05-end-to-end/neo4j_graphrag/README.md) |
+|---|---|---|
+| **What it does** | Read-write memory — stores conversations, builds knowledge graphs, learns from interactions | Read-only retrieval from a pre-existing knowledge base with optional graph traversal |
+| **Data source** | Agent interactions (grows over time) | Pre-loaded documents and indexes |
+| **Python package** | [`neo4j-agent-memory`](https://pypi.org/project/neo4j-agent-memory/) | [`agent-framework-neo4j`](https://pypi.org/project/agent-framework-neo4j/) |
+| **Database setup** | Empty — creates its own schema | Requires pre-indexed documents with vector or fulltext indexes |
+| **Example use case** | "Remember my preferences", "What did we discuss last time?" | "Search our documents", "What risks does Acme Corp face?" |
+
+## Which should I use?
+
+**Use [Neo4j Memory](../neo4j_memory/README.md)** when your agent needs to remember things across sessions — user preferences, past conversations, extracted entities, and reasoning traces. The memory provider writes to the database on every interaction, building a knowledge graph that grows over time.
+
+**Use [Neo4j GraphRAG](../../../05-end-to-end/neo4j_graphrag/README.md)** when your agent needs to search an existing knowledge base — documents, articles, product catalogs — and optionally enrich results by traversing graph relationships. The GraphRAG provider is read-only and does not modify your data.
+
+You can use both together: GraphRAG for domain knowledge retrieval, Memory for personalization and learning.
