Basics of LangGraph Workflows

There are two main types of workflows that can be built with LangGraph. The terms used to describe them will likely evolve over time, so it's best to focus on the underlying concepts.

First type — AI agents (automation of known tasks)

Some workflows automate tasks whose potential path and decision points are known in advance. We can therefore map what needs to be automated. Today we call this an AI agent. What makes AI agents more useful and capable are large language models (LLMs), which help the agent analyze and generate data.
