Why use a framework

Frameworks handle the agent loop (prompt → tool choice → execution → repeat), tool definitions, and often memory and orchestration. They speed up building and reduce boilerplate.

LangChain and LangGraph

LangChain: chains, tools, and integrations for LLM apps. LangGraph: adds state and cycles (graphs) for multi-step and agentic workflows. Good for custom agents and control flow.

crewAI and others

crewAI: multi-agent with roles and tasks. AutoGen, MetaGPT: multi-agent collaboration. Choose by need: single-agent vs multi-agent, level of control, and ecosystem (e.g. Python, cloud).
