Definition
LangGraph is an orchestration framework built on top of LangChain designed for creating stateful, multi-actor applications by representing workflows as cyclic graphs. Unlike linear chains, it enables agents to loop back to previous steps for iterative reasoning, self-correction, and human-in-the-loop interaction.
Not a vector database or a simple DAG; it is a specialized library for managing cyclic state machines in LLM workflows.
"A complex circuit board with feedback loops where a central 'State' ledger is updated by various processors (nodes) as data circles through them."
