LangChain

LangChain is an open-source framework that facilitates the integration of large language models into production applications through modular, reusable components. The framework simplifies every stage of the LLM application lifecycle by providing standardized interfaces for chains, extensive integrations with external tools, and end-to-end workflows for common use cases. LangChain enables developers to create intelligent agents capable of reasoning about complex problems and breaking them down into smaller, manageable sub-tasks through structured workflows. Core capabilities include document analysis, summarization, conversational agents, retrieval-augmented generation, and multi-agent orchestration. The framework supports rapid experimentation and prototyping, allowing developers to swap models and test configurations without extensive code rewrites. LangChain’s modular architecture includes components for memory management, tool integration, prompt engineering, and output parsing, making it suitable for building sophisticated AI applications ranging from chatbots to complex analytical systems requiring multi-step reasoning and external data integration.
