Introduction: What is an AI Agent?
AI agents perform tasks autonomously using AI models.
Examples: Chatbots, virtual assistants, automated workflows.
Challenge: Building agents that are reliable, scalable, and production-ready.
Solution: LangGraph, a framework for stateful, cyclic AI workflows.
NextGen_Outlier 3
What is LangGraph?
Extension of LangChain for stateful, multi-actor AI agents.
Key Features:
Stateful workflows: Saves state after each step.
Human-in-the-loop: Allows human intervention.
Cyclic graphs: Supports loops and conditional logic.
Integrates with LangChain and LangSmith for debugging.
Scalable for production environments.
Analogy: Like a GPS for AI agents, adapting to dynamic conditions.

Why LangGraph for Production?
Handles noisy inputs and edge cases.
Scales to handle thousands of requests.
Provides error recovery and state persistence.
Offers observability with LangSmith.
Enables modular workflows with nodes and edges.
NextGen_Outlier 5
Real-Life Use Case: Travel Planning Assistant
Goal: Plan a trip (e.g., "New York to Paris next weekend").
Tasks:
Extract details from user input.
Fetch flight and hotel options via APIs.
Compile and display itinerary.
Optionally send itinerary via email.
Why LangGraph? Supports multi-step workflows, conditional logic, and human-in-the-loop.
NextGen_Outlier 6
LangGraph Components
Nodes: Individual tasks (e.g., fetch flights, send email).
Edges: Connections between tasks (direct or conditional).
State: Shared data structure tracking progress.
Graph: Ties nodes and edges into a workflow.
Analogy: Nodes as workers, edges as conveyor belts, state as a clipboard.
NextGen_Outlier 7
Implementation: Defining the State
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
class AgentState(TypedDict):
user_request: str
flight_options: list
hotel_options: list
itinerary: str
send_email: bool
NextGen_Outlier 8
Implementation: Key Nodes
def process_request(state: AgentState) -> Dict:
prompt = PromptTemplate(
input_variables=["user_request"],
template="Extract destination, origin, and dates from: {user_request}"
)
response = llm.invoke(prompt.format(user_request=state["user_request"]))
return {"user_request": response.content}
def fetch_flights(state: AgentState) -> Dict:
flight_data = [{"airline": "Air France", "price": "$500", "time": "10:00 AM"}]
return {"flight_options": flight_data}
NextGen_Outlier 9
Implementation: Building the Workflow
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END
workflow = StateGraph(AgentState)
workflow.add_node("process_request", process_request)
workflow.add_edge(START, "process_request")
workflow.add_edge("process_request", "fetch_flights")
workflow.add_edge("fetch_flights", "fetch_hotels")
workflow.add_edge("fetch_hotels", "compile_itinerary")
workflow.add_edge("compile_itinerary", "ask_email")
workflow.add_conditional_edges(
"ask_email",
lambda state: state.get("send_email", "end"),
{"send_email": "send_email", "end": END}
)
agent = workflow.compile()

Sample Output
Final Itinerary:
Flights:

Hotels:
[{'hotel': 'Paris Inn', 'price': '$150/night'}]
Sending email with itinerary: ...

Why It’s Production-Ready
Error Handling: Resumes after failures using state management.
Human-in-the-Loop: User approves email step.
Modular: Easy to update nodes (e.g., swap APIs).
Scalable: Deploy with LangGraph Platform.
Observable: Use LangSmith for debugging.
NextGen_Outlier 13
Tips for Success
Start simple, then add complexity.
Use conditional edges for dynamic workflows.
Test edge cases and noisy inputs.
Monitor with LangSmith for insights.
Include human-in-the-loop for sensitive tasks.
NextGen_Outlier 14
Conclusion
LangGraph enables robust, scalable AI agents.
Travel Planning Assistant demonstrates practical application.
Modular nodes, edges, and state management ensure flexibility.
