langgraph

Trusted by companies shaping the future of agents – including Klarna, Replit, Elastic, and more – LangGraph is a low-level orchestration framework for building, managing, and deploying long-running, stateful agents.

Install LangGraph:

pip install -U langgraph

Create a simple workflow:

from langgraph.graph import START, StateGraph
from typing_extensions import TypedDict


class State(TypedDict):
    text: str


def node_a(state: State) -> dict:
    return {"text": state["text"] + "a"}


def node_b(state: State) -> dict:
    return {"text": state["text"] + "b"}


graph = StateGraph(State)
graph.add_node("node_a", node_a)
graph.add_node("node_b", node_b)
graph.add_edge(START, "node_a")
graph.add_edge("node_a", "node_b")

print(graph.compile().invoke({"text": ""}))
# {'text': 'ab'}

Get started with the LangGraph Quickstart.

To quickly build agents with LangChain's create_agent (built on LangGraph), see the LangChain Agents documentation.

LangGraph provides low-level supporting infrastructure for any long-running, stateful workflow or agent. LangGraph does not abstract prompts or architecture, and provides the following central benefits:

• Durable execution: Build agents that persist through failures and can run for extended periods, automatically resuming from exactly where they left off.
• Human-in-the-loop: Seamlessly incorporate human oversight by inspecting and modifying agent state at any point during execution.
• Comprehensive memory: Create truly stateful agents with both short-term working memory for ongoing reasoning and long-term persistent memory across sessions.
• Debugging with LangSmith: Gain deep visibility into complex agent behavior with visualization tools that trace execution paths, capture state transitions, and provide detailed runtime metrics.
• Production-ready deployment: Deploy sophisticated agent systems confidently with scalable infrastructure designed to handle the unique challenges of stateful, long-running workflows.

While LangGraph can be used standalone, it also integrates seamlessly with any LangChain product, giving developers a full suite of tools for building agents. To improve your LLM application development, pair LangGraph with:

• LangSmith — Helpful for agent evals and observability. Debug poor-performing LLM app runs, evaluate agent trajectories, gain visibility in production, and improve performance over time.
• LangSmith Deployment — Deploy and scale agents effortlessly with a purpose-built deployment platform for long running, stateful workflows. Discover, reuse, configure, and share agents across teams — and iterate quickly with visual prototyping in LangGraph Studio.
• LangChain – Provides integrations and composable components to streamline LLM application development.

• Guides: Quick, actionable code snippets for topics such as streaming, adding memory & persistence, and design patterns (e.g. branching, subgraphs, etc.).
• Reference: Detailed reference on core classes, methods, how to use the graph and checkpointing APIs, and higher-level prebuilt components.
• Examples: Guided examples on getting started with LangGraph.
• LangChain Forum: Connect with the community and share all of your technical questions, ideas, and feedback.
• LangChain Academy: Learn the basics of LangGraph in our free, structured course.
• Case studies: Hear how industry leaders use LangGraph to ship AI applications at scale.

LangGraph is inspired by Pregel and Apache Beam. The public interface draws inspiration from NetworkX. LangGraph is built by LangChain Inc, the creators of LangChain, but can be used without LangChain.
