great, solid base concepts! converting from colab to code is the perfect exercise to digest what you explained. Thank you !

Finally! A presentation on LangGraph that makes sense. Sign me up for any of your courses. I value your work.

Fantastic intro to langgraph. It's awesome how well you explain this complex topics. Keep up the good work! Cannot wait more real life examples with rag.

Thank you! Your style of explanation is very clear.

Superb intro. Thanks for making such amazing content

I have finally understood LangGraph!

Please make a video where rag is used! Most companies use their own data to answer questions rather than web search.

CrewAI is essentially a LangChain wrapper (and IMO not a good one). This is actually a great show case of what customization you can do. If you need flexibility for your Agents, then LangGraph is the way to go.

Thanks for your Birds Eye View of tying it all together. It has definitely relaxed my mind to have a structured approach that makes since. With this structure, I wonder if it can be built from a control sheet.............. which would introduce a DRY/RAD approach for AI.

In this contrived example, it doesn’t look like LangGraph adds a lot of value, but requires quite a bit of setup. I mean, a simple script with no opaque marshaling and a few conditionals could achieve the same thing.

I was thinking this same thing. I actually built a moderately complex rag chatbot with various conditionals as you mention calling what I guess you can think of as tools. It really makes me rethink what the term “AI AGENT” even means.

think of it as a way that you can have your logic modified in the future without much changes in the code. Like all the steps and edges can stay the same, just the way you wire them together changes. Of course that also can be achieved without LangGraph as well though. Just like you can even build your llm application without LangChain. The AI and Python community seem to prefer ways of doing things with abstractions and prebuilt bells and whistles, just like the way the language is set up, clear and easy to read.

Really great examples for routing. It’s kinda hard to get that down from the LangGraph examples

Thank you! It seems like the graph is built based of pre-defined chains and not an Agent who makes decision to independently call tools (kind of like crewai/autogen). Can you make a video where the agent makes decisions on a series of steps of what tools to use, through tool calling please?

Awesome vid Sam! Question on the Schema Parsing and retrying that you do. It looks like moving on from a node requires the LLM to output a particular schema (like JSON with particular keys). Are there easy integration points with Pydantic/Instructor so we can be sure of our output schemas with retry logic while getting the benefits of LangGraph’s simple flow abstractions?

Hi Sam. I love your content! I don't know if this is the proper way to report this, but in the colab notebook, the function def for 'route_to_rewrite' has the line 'research_info = state["research_info"]' which throws a runtime error, and the variable is not referenced in this module. Removing that line fixes the problem. Keep up the fantastic work Sam!

Dude keep it up. This is gold i only ask you build this stuff in a codebase like you might see in production. I find it really difficult to transfer code from ipynb to a vscode project, call it a mental block, and maybe I'm alone in feeling like this.

I only have an iPad and an android phone so the fact he's doing all of this in Colab at the moment is a god- send haha A lot of other youtubers covering this stuff use VSCode. But, he's a great communicator so I definitely understand your request.

It's great ! BTW, if there's a complex graph, it's hard to build the relations without a map

Would you say Sam it would be better to use LangGraph from the get go. It seems straight forward enough and it wpuld appear you can get up and running quickly. I just dont see the point going through CrewAI first then transition to LangGraph? Another great video too love your work!

Can you make a video that uses Lang Graph to create a cycle that repeatedly calls an LLM in a loop to determine the next action? I think what Lang Graph is designed for. In this example, we can definitely use the Lang Chain to achieve the same result because it linear. Anyway, your video is more easier to understand than the Lang Graph document. Thank you.

This is just the descripting of an agent based Turing Machine. Definitely cool. "

This is fantastic. Can the steps in LangGraph be captured by Langsmith? is there a way you could show this. Debugging through Langsmith these steps would be awesome

Thanks for video, I was getting key error when test for the other email when it needs to use the def route_to_rewrite(state). look like the research_info key is not required for def route_to_rewrite(state).

Great video! I really like how clean and professional your diagrams look. What tool are you using to create them? I've tried Graphviz before but the results just aren't as polished and engaging. Would love to know your process for making such appealing visuals. Keep up the awesome work!

⁠I slept over this and I now see a trend where people are obsessed with having any API interaction assisted or mediated by a LLM. It reminds me of the era of XML, when everyone wanted to use XML markup for everything, including network protocols. There’s a need to enable LLMs to interface with tools to extend their capabilities, but forcing natural language into every interaction seems a little weird. And, defining graphs to gate-keep reasoning flows seems brittle and limiting.

Thanks for sharing. I have intrest in LangGraph with llama 3 on local such use ollama

Can we use this process somehow to search the web and do research? Can't find this anywhere

Thanks so much for the explanation. I would like to add the logic for each step for more compréhensive humain understanding of this great exemple : step : ## Research Router change proposition in the prompt : "...Return the a JSON with a two keys 'router_decision' and research_router_logic to explain the logic behind it. use both the initial email and the email category to make your decision..." expected result : {'router_decision': 'draft_email', 'research_router_logic': 'The initial email is a thank you note from a customer, which only requires a simple response. The email category is customer_feedback, which also suggests a straightforward acknowledgement is sufficient.'}

Thank you about the knowledge 🫶

Curious whether this could also work in a Chatbot experience. So in this example you had an email trigger the event but could this work if a user wanted more functionality but within a Chat experience. Maybe you might have some ideas on how that might actually work.

Hi, video is great, exactly what I've been searching for! But I have offtop question, what app did you use to draw diagram? I like this style very much, and want to use it in my projects😄

I like how you pronounce langchain

Thank you for the video. I think the graph allows to go write_draft_email->categorize_email->rewrite_email and rewrite_email assumes that state contains research_info (which I would not based on this path) or did i misread that? This seems to be a way to sidestep the lack of langchain tool support in groq (which I did not find - although there is tool support ) Thank you.

@samwitteveenai

Ай бұрын

It does a check after the categorize email if it needs research and then does research then a draft email and then another decision point for if it needs to rewrite. It is not using tools support as a function call, just using that Llama3 can handle JSON well and using that. You could also write some checking and retrying in there as well.

Do you have an opinion on AutoGen?

Excellent explanation Sam, thanks. I have run the script with other models on Groq and got some errors. Have you tried to run it with models like "Mixtral-8x7b-32768", and "Gemma-7b-It"? Your last implementation with CrewAI seemed more robust, for me it ran with all models on Groq.

Ай бұрын

Yes, your code runs without errors with Gemma, but that model and Llama 3 8b can't handle the agentic aspect with the given code. They report 'Agent stopped due to iteration limit or time limit.'. This adversely affects the BTC price inquiry mail response. Mixtral 8x7b runs well and handles the agentic aspect. Llama 3 70b can become a bit congested (waiting list, though haven't had it with the API) due to popularity, so it's a good option to have. I would be interested in you exploring Llama 3 8b's agentic prowess.

Sam, question if you don't mind. My wife wants to have her sales information content incorporated behind a chat/RAG to answer questions from her content. Which system out there do you think would work best, that is low code for a non-dev. Ideally next part will be to access this via a membership website.

Hello, I'm tearing out the few hairs I have left trying to adapt your excellent tutorial to create a workflow for detecting and tracking malicious emails (phishing). The process might look something like this: 1. Connector with an Outlook mailbox 2. Detection of received phishing emails 3. Collect received emails in Outlook into a file by batch or sync 4. Analysis of emails with Llama3/groq 5. Assign a score from 1 to 10 6. Classify phishing emails into 3 categories to create a security incident in EasyVista for those classified as critical 7. Tagging classified emails 8. Creation of a SharePoint folder that includes the metadata of analyzed emails 9. Reporting with BI 10. Tracing with LangSmith Kindly help. Thanks a lot.
