Oh I see - that's interesting.

Honestly I'm happy to be proven wrong about the usefulness of it.

I've used langsmith and found it quite useful. I think I was just so jaded by my bad experience with Langchain, that I'm immediately skeptical of other "lang" products.

I almost didn't try langgraph because I had similar experiences with langchain. IMO it is a lot better than langchain; its abstractions are lower level and more appropriate at least for the projects I've taken on. I think it's probably the best toolkit with which to prototype an agent-based workflow right now.

That being said, it's not doing that much. And you still end up having to use some of langchain's abstractions. If this current "make a cyclical graph of LLM agents that send messages to each other" thing has any staying power than I imagine we'll see a more robust option soon. Personally I'd love a way to build agent graphs in a strongly typed language with first class concurrency.
