What you will learn
- An agent is a loop: the model picks a tool, your code runs it, the result goes back to the model.
- Tool names, descriptions and schemas are the prompt; write them like an API contract.
- Structured output and tracing turn a demo into something you can ship.
Why LangChain still matters
Every LLM application ends up rebuilding the same plumbing: a prompt, a model call, a few tools, some memory and a way to see what happened. LangChain packages that plumbing behind one interface, so swapping a model provider is a string change rather than a rewrite.
The modern API is deliberately small. You create an agent with a model and a list of tools, invoke it with messages, and get messages back. Everything else (middleware, memory, streaming) layers on top of that loop.
