langchain

separate

Framework for building LLM-powered applications with agents, chains, and RAG. Supports multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), 500+ integrations, ReAct agents, tool calling, memory management, and vector store retrieval. Use for building chatbots, question-answering systems, autonomous agents, or RAG applications. Best for rapid prototyping and production deployments.

When to use

• Building agents with tool calling and reasoning (ReAct pattern)
• Implementing RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipelines
• Need to swap LLM providers easily (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google)
• Creating chatbots with conversation memory
• Rapid prototyping of LLM applications
• Production deployments with LangSmith observability
• **119,000+ GitHub stars**
• **272,000+ repositories** use LangChain

When not to use

• RAG-focused document Q&A
• Complex stateful workflows
• Production search pipelines
• Microsoft ecosystem
