// Entity Extraction with Caching
const entities = await brain.neural.extractor.extract(text, {
  path: '/path/to/file.txt',
  cache: {
    enabled: true,
    ttl: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,

})

// Relationship Confidence
import { detectRelationshipsWithConfidence } from '@soulcraft/brainy/neural'
const relationships = detectRelationshipsWithConfidence(entities, text, {
  minConfidence: 0.7
})

await brain.relate({
  from: sourceId,
  to: targetId,
  type: VerbType.Creates,
  confidence: 0.85,
