Why use this?

LangChain provides the building blocks for applications that connect large language models to external data, tools, and workflows. Developers use it to implement retrieval-augmented generation, chatbots, copilots, structured outputs, and multi-step agent systems.

It is a good choice when an engineering team needs a flexible, widely supported framework rather than a rigid agent product. LangChain’s ecosystem includes integrations for model providers, vector databases, document loaders, and observability tools.
