Build a production-grade multi-agent workflow using LangGraph v1.2. Use state-based orchestration to manage autonomous reasoning loops securely.

pip install langchain==1.3.4 langgraph==1.2.4 langchain-openai

In modern agentic workflows, "Memory" is replaced by an explicit State Schema. This allows the graph to pass data between nodes with type safety.

from typing import TypedDict, Annotated
import operator
from langchain_core.messages import BaseMessage

class AgentState(TypedDict):
  messages: Annotated[list[BaseMessage], operator.add]
  task_goal: str
  generated_topology: str

We replace the legacy Agent

class with Nodes and Edges. This allows for "Time-Travel Debugging" and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, END
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI

llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o", temperature=0.2)

  
  
  Define Node Logic

def understand_task(state: AgentState):
  return {"task_goal": "Optimized Ethylene Cracking"}

def generate_topology(state: AgentState):
  return {"generated_topology": "C2H4 -> C2H2 + H2"}

  
  
  Build the Graph

workflow = StateGraph(AgentState)
workflow.add_node("understand", understand_task)
workflow.add_node("topology", generate_topology)

workflow.set_entry_point("understand")
workflow.add_edge("understand", "topology")
workflow.add_edge("topology", END)

app = workflow.compile()

To run the production-grade agent, we invoke the graph with an initial state.

result = app.invoke({"messages": ["Design an ethylene cracking process"]})
print(result["generated_topology"])
