LangGraph is an extension of LangChain that lets you build stateful, multi-agent, and conversational applications using a graph structure.

📍 1. What is LangGraph?

LangGraph is a framework that lets you:

• 📌 Define nodes as steps (LLMs, tools, agents)

• 🔄 Control flow between them (like loops, branches)

• 💬 Manage memory & state easily

👉 It is especially great for:

• 🤖 Multi-agent systems

• 🔁 Iterative chains

• 🧠 Conversational flows

Think of it like flowcharting your AI’s brain 🧠🗺️

🌱 2. Basic Concepts (Beginner Level)

🔹 Nodes 🔹

Each step in your AI logic (like an LLM call, tool use, decision-making).

🔸 Edges 🔸

How data flows from one node to another (like “if yes → this node”).

🔄 State

LangGraph can remember what happened before — it's like giving memory to your graph!

📦 Basic Example: Sentiment Classifier

import langgraph
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI

# Define node (LLM classifier)
def classify_sentiment(state):
    text = state["text"]
    llm = ChatOpenAI()
    sentiment = llm.predict(f"What is the sentiment of: {text}?")
    return {"text": text, "sentiment": sentiment}

# Create graph
builder = StateGraph()
builder.add_node("sentiment_node", classify_sentiment)
builder.set_entry_point("sentiment_node")

# Compile and run
graph = builder.compile()
output = graph.invoke({"text": "I love this!"})
print(output)

🔍 Output:

{"text": "I love this!", "sentiment": "positive"}

🔧 3. Intermediate Level: Conditional Branching & Loops

LangGraph allows dynamic flows based on responses. You can loop until the result is “final.”

🎯 Use Case: Review Rewriting Bot

• Node 1: Summarize Review

• Node 2: Ask user if it’s good

• 🔁 Loop if not satisfied

def feedback_node(state):
    # Return 'yes' or 'no'
    return {"feedback": "no"}

# You can conditionally decide the next node based on this!

🧠 4. Advanced Level: Multi-Agent Collaboration

Use LangGraph to create multi-agent systems where agents:

• 🤔 Think independently

• 💬 Talk to each other

• 📚 Use tools

⚔️ Agent Duel Example:

👨‍🔬 Scientist Agent

• Researches a topic

🧠 Philosopher Agent

• Challenges the idea

builder.add_node("scientist", scientist_agent)
builder.add_node("philosopher", philosopher_agent)

builder.add_edge("scientist", "philosopher")
builder.add_edge("philosopher", "scientist")  # 🤯 Infinite debate loop!

builder.set_entry_point("scientist")

🧠 The loop continues until someone “wins” or we limit steps.

🔌 5. Integration: Tools, Memory, LangChain Agents

LangGraph plays very well with:

• 🧠 langchain.memory for persistent memory

• 🔗 langchain.agents for tool usage

• 🧰 External APIs and custom functions
