+ +LangChain is a framework for building agents and LLM-powered applications. It helps you chain together interoperable components and third-party integrations to simplify AI application development — all while future-proofing decisions as the underlying technology evolves. + +> [!TIP] +> Just getting started? Check out **[Deep Agents](http://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/deepagents/)** — a higher-level package built on LangChain for agents that have built-in capabilites for common usage patterns such as planning, subagents, file system usage, and more. + +## Quickstart + +```bash +uv add langchain +``` + +```python +from langchain.chat_models import init_chat_model + +model = init_chat_model("openai:gpt-5.5") +result = model.invoke("Hello, world!") +``` + +If you're looking for more advanced customization or agent orchestration, check out [LangGraph](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph), our framework for building controllable agent workflows. + +For an equivalent JS/TS library, check out [LangChain.js](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchainjs). + +> [!TIP] +> For developing, debugging, and deploying AI agents and LLM applications, see [LangSmith](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/home). + +## LangChain ecosystem + +While the LangChain framework can be used standalone, it also integrates seamlessly with any LangChain product, giving developers a full suite of tools when building LLM applications. + +- **[Deep Agents](http://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/deepagents/)** — Build agents that can plan, use subagents, and leverage file systems for complex tasks +- **[LangGraph](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/overview)** — Build agents that can reliably handle complex tasks with our low-level agent orchestration framework +- **[Integrations](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/integrations/providers/overview)** — Chat & embedding models, tools & toolkits, and more +- **[LangSmith](https://www.langchain.com/langsmith)** — Agent evals, observability, and debugging for LLM apps +- **[LangSmith Deployment](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/deployments)** — Deploy and scale agents with a purpose-built platform for long-running, stateful workflows + +## Why use LangChain? + +LangChain helps developers build applications powered by LLMs through a standard interface for models, embeddings, vector stores, and more. + +- **Real-time data augmentation** — Easily connect LLMs to diverse data sources and external/internal systems, drawing from LangChain's vast library of integrations with model providers, tools, vector stores, retrievers, and more +- **Model interoperability** — Swap models in and out as your engineering team experiments to find the best choice for your application's needs. As the industry frontier evolves, adapt quickly — LangChain's abstractions keep you moving without losing momentum +- **Rapid prototyping** — Quickly build and iterate on LLM applications with LangChain's modular, component-based architecture. Test different approaches and workflows without rebuilding from scratch, accelerating your development cycle +- **Production-ready features** — Deploy reliable applications with built-in support for monitoring, evaluation, and debugging through integrations like LangSmith. Scale with confidence using battle-tested patterns and best practices +- **Vibrant community and ecosystem** — Leverage a rich ecosystem of integrations, templates, and community-contributed components. Benefit from continuous improvements and stay up-to-date with the latest AI developments through an active open-source community +- **Flexible abstraction layers** — Work at the level of abstraction that suits your needs — from high-level chains for quick starts to low-level components for fine-grained control. LangChain grows with your application's complexity + +--- + +## Resources + +- [Documentation](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langchain/overview) — conceptual overviews and guides +- [LangChain ecosystem overview](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/concepts/products) — how LangChain, LangGraph, and Deep Agents fit together +- [API reference](https://reference.langchain.com/python) — complete reference for all public classes, functions, and types +- [Discussions](https://forum.langchain.com/c/oss-product-help-lc-and-lg/langchain/14) — community forum for technical questions, ideas, and feedback +- [LangChain Academy](https://academy.langchain.com/) — comprehensive, free courses on LangChain libraries and products, made by the LangChain team +- [Contributing Guide](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/contributing/overview) — how to contribute and find good first issues +- [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/?tab=coc-ov-file) — community guidelines and standards
