LangChain is a modular framework designed to help developers build complex, production-grade applications that leverage large language models. It abstracts the underlying complexity of prompt management, context retrieval, and model orchestration into reusable components. At its core, LangChain introduces primitives like Chains, Agents, and Tools, allowing developers to sequence model calls, make decisions dynamically, and integrate real-world data or APIs into LLM workflows.

LangChain supports retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines through integrations with vector databases, enabling models to access and reason over large external knowledge bases efficiently. It also provides utilities for handling long-term context via memory management and supports multiple backends like OpenAI, Anthropic, and local models.

Technically, LangChain simplifies building LLM-driven architectures such as chatbots, document Q&A systems, and autonomous agents. Its ecosystem includes components for caching, tracing, evaluation, and deployment, allowing seamless movement from prototype to production. It serves as a foundational layer for developers who need tight control over how language models interact with data and external systems.
