The Unified Relationship Graph

The Unified Relationship Graph is the foundation of Subscriberbot. Instead of storing subscriptions as flat rows in a table, the platform models every concept as a node and every connection as an edge. This makes it possible to ask questions that span many entities at once — exactly the kind of reasoning the AI Brain needs.

A relationship as a graph​

A single subscription is never just one record. It connects to the payment instrument funding it, the plan it sits on, the entitlements it grants, the renewal date that governs it, the invoice history it produced, the usage metrics it generated, and the alternative providers that could replace it.

User
 └── Subscription ("Acme Pro")
      ├── Plan ("Pro, billed annually")
      ├── Payment Instrument ("Visa ••42")
      ├── Renewal Date ("2026-09-01")
      ├── Entitlement ("100 seats", "priority support")
      ├── Invoice History (12 invoices)
      ├── Usage Metrics ("3 of 100 seats active")
      └── Alternative Providers ("Beta Co — 30% cheaper")

Why a graph​

Because every node is connected, the platform can traverse relationships to answer compound questions:

  • "Which subscriptions are charged to a card that expires next month?" — traverse Payment Instrument → Subscription.
  • "Which active subscriptions have near-zero usage?" — traverse Subscription → Usage Metrics.
  • "What could replace this tool for less money?" — traverse Subscription → Provider → Alternative Providers.

The Subscription Knowledge Graph​

Layered alongside your personal graph is the Subscription Knowledge Graph — Subscriberbot's map of the wider market. Its contents:

DimensionExamples
Provider infopricing, plans, features, contract terms
Historical changesprice changes, feature changes, term changes over time
User sentimentreviews, ratings, common churn reasons
Competitive alternativesbetter or cheaper options for a given category

The two graphs together — your private relationship graph and the shared knowledge graph — are what allow Subscriberbot to reason not just about what you have, but about what you should do next.

Global Provider Registry​

The knowledge graph is anchored by a Global Provider Registry: a directory holding millions of provider profiles, each carrying pricing history, churn signals, reviews, security posture, compliance status, and availability. The registry is the canonical identity for a provider across the entire platform.
