LangGraph Agents: Orchestrating Intelligence Across the Stars | Gen AI-5

Travelling alone in this journey of Gen-AI we used to built things in a messy 😵‍💫 manner, and locally it is ok. But what if we properly modularize , Scalable it and can magically modify quickly for more optimize output 🤖and even easily understanding complex work flow ⚙️.

So, In this article we will look closely how could we achieve and even get better tool calling than those usual prompts 😎. Also at end I would teach how could you also code 🧑‍💻 and get visualizations from jupyter notebook. So Stay Tune. 🤗


🤔 Pre-Requisites

  • How to work with Basic Models

  • Prompting basics

  • Pydantic and TypeDict (I will try to give a basic idea)


🌌 Introduction: The Galactic Need for Agent Orchestration

In a galaxy of LLMs, APIs, and tools, not all intelligence is centralized. Some agents specialize in star mapping (retrieval), others in alien translation (generation), and others in anomaly detection (tools & logic). How do we coordinate these cosmic entities?

So till now we may have included different use cases or either used functions and wrote if-else, but we might not easily have better control over a flow or organization. LangGraph provides tools where still under functions we can make graphs structures, and organize them as we want (think of like n8n but in code)

  • Introduce the idea of agents as autonomous crew members.

  • State the challenge: They need coordination to complete a mission.

  • Enter: LangGraph, your mission control system in the stars.


🛰️ What Is LangGraph? (Mission Control on the Moon)

LangGraph is like NASA’s mission control for your agents. It uses graphs, not just pipelines, letting you dynamically route tasks between agents, tools, or memory systems.

  • Built on stateful computation over graphs.

  • Inspired by ideas from LangChain, but more explicit and programmable.

  • Think of each node as a satellite, each edge as a signal.


👩‍🚀 What Are Agents? (Autonomous Astronauts with Special Roles)

Agents are your intelligent astronauts—each equipped with certain skills and knowledge.

  • Examples:

    • DataScout: Retrieval agent scanning nebulae of documents.

    • CommsOfficer: Handles language generation and user queries.

    • EngineerBot: Executes tools, fixes logic circuits, or calls APIs.

Each agent is like an astronaut with a unique role on the spacecraft.


🛸 Designing the Agent Workflow with LangGraph

🚦 Step 1: Define the States (Defining Galactic Coordinates)

from typing_extensions import TypedDict

class State(TypedDict):
    query: str
    llm_result: str | None

🌌 Step 2: Define Nodes (Mapping Constellation)

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from openai import OpenAI

load_dotenv()

client = OpenAI(
    api_key=os.getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY"),
    base_url="https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/openai/"
)

# Like this we can make more nodes
def chat_bot(state: State): # this is a node

    query = state['query']
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gemini-2.0-flash",
        messages={"role": "user", "content": query}
    )
    result = response.choices[0].message.content
    state["llm_result"] = result

    return state

🔁 Step 3: Define Graph Building (Wormholes Between Agents)

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END

graph_builder = StateGraph(State)# initialized a graph

graph_builder.add_node("chat_bot", chat_bot)# added a node

#Building edges
graph_builder.add_edge(START, "chat_bot")
graph_builder.add_edge("chat_bot", END)

# compile the graph
graph = graph_builder.compile()

💫 Step 4: Initializing our Graph (Running through Stars)

def main():
    user = input("> ")

    #invoke the graph
    _state = {
        "query": user,
        "llm_result": None
    }
    graph_result = graph.invoke(_state)

    print("graph_result", graph_result)


main()

🤝 More advance workflow (Tool Calling Integration): (ChatGroq)

Our Dependencies:

from typing_extensions import TypedDict
from langchain_core.messages import AnyMessage #allowing both Human or ai messages
from typing import Annotated
from langgraph.graph.message import add_messages
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END
from langgraph.prebuilt import ToolNode
from langgraph.prebuilt import tools_condition # when should we use tool node and which path i need to take
from tools import llm_with_tools, available_tools
from IPython.display import display, Image

Defining State:

class State(TypedDict):
    messages: Annotated[list[AnyMessage], add_messages] # return a dict

Defining some Tools:

Here I will take arxiv (Research Related Data), Wiki (General Info), Tavily (Web searches)

from langchain_community.tools import ArxivQueryRun, WikipediaQueryRun
from langchain_community.utilities import ArxivAPIWrapper, WikipediaAPIWrapper
from langchain_tavily import TavilySearch
from langchain_groq import ChatGroq

api_wrapper_arxiv = ArxivAPIWrapper(top_k_results=2, doc_content_chars_max=500)
arxiv = ArxivQueryRun(api_wrapper=api_wrapper_arxiv, description="Query arxiv papers")

api_wrapper_wiki = WikipediaAPIWrapper(top_k_results=1, doc_content_chars_max=500)
wiki = WikipediaQueryRun(api_wrapper=api_wrapper_wiki)

tavily=TavilySearch()

Combining Tools:

# Combining all the tools in the list
available_tools = [arxiv, wiki, tavily]

llm=ChatGroq(model="qwen-qwq-32b")
# print(llm.invoke("what is ai"))

llm_with_tools = llm.bind_tools(tools=available_tools)

def tool_calling_llm(state: State):
    return {"messages": [llm_with_tools.invoke(state["messages"])]}

Automating a Hybrid setup through (LangGraph):

#Build graph
graph_builder = StateGraph(State)
graph_builder.add_node("tool_calling_llm", tool_calling_llm)
graph_builder.add_node("tools", ToolNode(available_tools)) # passing available tools in

#edges
graph_builder.add_edge(START, "tool_calling_llm")
graph_builder.add_conditional_edges("tool_calling_llm", tools_condition)
# if latest message(result) from assistant is a tool -> tools_condition routes to tools
# if latest message(result) from assistant is not a tool -> tools_condition routes to END

graph_builder.add_edge("tools", "tool_calling_llm")

graph = graph_builder.compile()

Visualizing the node (in Jupyter notebook)

display(Image(graph.get_graph().draw_mermaid_png()))

Start Conversations:

messages = graph.invoke({"messages": "what is the ai news and then what is the current quantum research progress?"})
for m in messages["messages"]:
    m.pretty_print()

End Result of AI (Hybrid Thinking → Both Automated by Human and Decision taken by AI for Tool calling decisions):
