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.
-## Get started
-
-Install LangGraph:
-
-```
+```bash
pip install -U langgraph
```
-Create a simple workflow:
+If you're looking to quickly build agents with LangChain's `create_agent` (built on LangGraph), check out the [LangChain Agents documentation](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langchain/agents).
-```python
-from langgraph.graph import START, StateGraph
-from typing_extensions import TypedDict

+**Documentation**:
-class State(TypedDict):
- text: str

+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](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/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](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/interrupts)**. Seamlessly incorporate human oversight by inspecting and modifying agent state at any point during execution.
+- **[Comprehensive memory](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/memory)**. Create truly stateful agents with both short-term working memory for ongoing reasoning and long-term persistent memory across sessions.
+- **[Debugging with LangSmith](https://www.langchain.com/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](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/deployments)**. Deploy sophisticated agent systems confidently with scalable infrastructure designed to handle the unique challenges of stateful, long-running workflows.
-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")
+## LangGraph ecosystem
-print(graph.compile().invoke({"text": ""}))
-# {'text': 'ab'}
-```
+While LangGraph can be used standalone, it also integrates seamlessly with any LangChain product, giving developers a full suite of tools for building agents.
