About Concepts
LangChain is a comprehensive platform for agent engineering, covering the entire lifecycle of AI agent development. The official documentation index provides guides and resources for building agents with LangChain, LangGraph, and Deep Agents, testing and evaluating agents with datasets and prompt engineering, deploying and serving agents at scale, monitoring and debugging in production, and governing access with enterprise-grade security. It also supports no-code agent creation via LangSmith Fleet, automatic issue fixing with LangSmith Engine, and an AI coding assistant (dcode CLI). Additional resources include free courses through LangChain Academy, a community forum, and a support portal.
