PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What is LangChain?

LangChain is an agent engineering company offering open source frameworks and the commercial LangSmith platform. Developers can build agents with LangChain, LangGraph, or Deep Agents, or use Fleet for no-code agents, then trace runs, run online and offline evaluations, deploy long-running agents with persistent state, and monitor cost, latency, and errors. LLM Gateway controls model calls and spend, while Sandboxes run agent-generated code safely. Teams can start on a free Developer plan, upgrade to Plus, or contact sales for Enterprise self-hosted and hybrid options.
