About this skill path

Build powerful AI applications using LangChain and LangGraph. By the end of this Skill Path, you will be able to create structured pipelines, develop stateful chatbots, and design agent-driven systems with memory, retrieval, and human-in-the-loop workflows.

In this Skill Path, you will begin with LangChain fundamentals, including models, prompts, and chains, and learn to compose them into pipelines using the LangChain Expression Language (LCEL). You will then explore memory patterns to build multi-turn chatbots, followed by agents, tool use, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Finally, you will use LangGraph to design stateful workflows with conditional routing, iteration, and human oversight.

Skills you'll gain

  • Build and configure LangChain applications end-to-end
  • Design and implement memory-aware AI workflows
  • Develop agent and retrieval systems
  • Model complex, stateful workflows with LangGraph
  • Integrate advanced control mechanisms to conversational agents
