Getting Started with LangSmith (3/8): Debugging with Studio
LangChain· 2025-09-29 04:28
Hi, today we'll be covering how to use Langmith to debug your AI applications and we'll be using a tool called Studio to do so. The studio is an IDE for building agents and you can use it with any langraph agent that you've built. Let's take a look at the repository for this course which contains our explain like 5 agent.We'll cover what you need to start using studio. You'll notice that in our repo, we have this file called langraph. json.langraph. json is a config file that tells studio where your agents ...
Getting Started with LangSmith (2/8): Types of Runs
LangChain· 2025-09-29 04:27
Hi, welcome back. In this video, we're going to talk about the types of runs you can create while tracing in Linksmith. We'll then show how these runs can help you understand your application's execution.Traces can be thought of as logs for your application. And the Langrain team has put a lot of effort into the UX for displaying traces. This is because traditional logs can be difficult to parse for LLM applications.If you've ever had to dig through huge unforatted stack traces for an LLM application, you k ...
LangChain Academy New Course: Deep Agents with LangGraph
LangChain· 2025-09-18 15:56
Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's Deep Researcher, and Manus's general purpose agent have demonstrated that agents can be amazingly effective on complex, long-running tasks. We call these Deep Agents because they have a few key differentiators from earlier forms of agents. In our new LangChain Academy course, Deep Agents with LangGraph, you'll learn their key characteristics and how to implement them in your own Deep Agent.So what makes these agents different. Under the hood, they use a simple ReAct tool-ca ...

Deep Agents JS
LangChain· 2025-08-18 16:19
Deep Agent Architecture - Deep agents utilize a planning tool to strategize task execution [4][5] - They employ a file system for organized context and information management, preventing context window overload [5] - Deep agents leverage specialized sub-agents to execute specific tasks, such as research or critique [5][6][18] - A detailed system prompt guides the overall operation of agents and sub-agents [6][10] Implementation and Usage - The process involves cloning the deep agents JS repository and the deep agents UI repository [7][13][14][19] - Configuration requires setting up environment variables, including API keys for web search (Tilli API key) and LLM provider (Anthropic API key), as well as specifying the Langraph server URL and agent ID [8][15][16][19] - The deep agent is instantiated using the `create deep agent` function, which requires a list of tools, instructions, and optionally, sub-agents [9][10] - The Langraph server is initiated using the command `npx langchain langraph cli dev` [8][13] - The deep agents UI runs on localhost 3000, allowing users to interact with the agent [16]

Deep Agents UI
LangChain· 2025-08-13 16:47
Deep agents are a form of agents that plan, reason, and act over longer time horizons. We built a dedicated UI for viewing and interacting with these agents that show its plan, the status of the file system that it uses, and any sub aents it kicks off. My name is Nick.I'm an engineer at Langchain, and today you'll learn how to set up this UI. Now, as a quick refresher, we can think of deep agents as a variant of the generic React tool calling architecture. Under the hood, deep agents still follow the same i ...
