About LangChain

LangChain is the most widely adopted framework for building LLM-powered applications. It provides modular abstractions for chains, agents, memory, retrievers, and tools, enabling developers to compose complex pipelines from reusable components. Available in both Python and JavaScript/TypeScript, LangChain integrates with every major LLM provider, vector store, and data source. Its ecosystem includes LangSmith for observability and LangGraph for stateful, graph-based agent workflows.
