LangGraph Functional API Overview

LangChain · Beginner ·🛠️ AI Tools & Apps ·1y ago
Learn how to leverage LangGraph's new Functional API to build AI workflow agents with minimal code changes. In this tutorial, we transform an agent implemented in Python into a LangGraph-agent using a few simple decorators. We clearly show what LangGraph enables, including persistence for short-term memory, human-in-the-loop, streaming, tracing / debugging, and long-term memory.
