Firstly congratulations on your effort.

How does the graph component of your database perform compared to Kuzu? Do you have any benchmarks.

For RAG I've tried Qdrant, Meilisearch, and Kuzu. At the moment I wouldn't consider HelixDB because of HelixQL. Wondering why you didn't use OpenCypher?

At the moment you have this system which is aimed to support AI/LLM systems but by creating HelixQL you do not have an AI coding friendly query language.

With OpenCypher even older cheap models can generate queries. Or maybe some GraphQL layer.

I used Google AI Studio instead of Google Gemini App because it provides references to the search results.

Google AI Studio gave me an exact answer of 2227 as a possible answer and linked to these comments because there is a comment further down which claims that is the exact answer. The comment was 2 hours old when I did the prompt.

It also provided a code example of how to find it using the python nfl data library mentioned in one of the comments here.
