LangGraph's stateful graph architecture powers agents that need precise control, complex branching, and production reliability. Here's what teams are building — from customer-facing support agents to multi-step coding pipelines and enterprise workflows.
LangGraph is the framework teams reach for when the stakes are high enough that "let the AI figure it out" isn't an acceptable orchestration strategy. Every decision point, every handoff, every error path is explicitly defined in the graph — which means you can debug exactly why an agent took a particular action and guarantee it won't skip critical steps. This makes LangGraph the default choice for customer-facing agents, financial workflows, and any system where reliability matters more than speed-to-prototype.
The projects below reflect that pattern. They tend to be more complex, more production-hardened, and more heavily integrated with existing infrastructure than what you'd typically see with lighter frameworks. Many started as simpler implementations elsewhere and migrated to LangGraph when they needed the control and observability that production demands.
LangGraph's stateful conversations and human-in-the-loop patterns make it the natural choice for agents that interact directly with customers.
A customer support agent that maintains conversation context across sessions, escalates to human agents based on sentiment or complexity thresholds, and accesses knowledge bases, order systems, and ticketing platforms through tool nodes. The graph structure guarantees that sensitive actions — refunds, account changes, cancellations — always route through a human approval node before execution.
Key pattern: Conditional routing with human-in-the-loop gates
Why LangGraph: Stateful sessions that persist across days, explicit escalation paths
Guides new users through product setup via a conversational interface. The graph defines each onboarding step as a node with conditional transitions — if the user has an existing account, skip import; if they select the enterprise plan, route to custom setup. State tracks completion status, user preferences, and configuration choices so users can pause and resume onboarding across sessions.
Key pattern: Progressive state accumulation with resume capability
Why LangGraph: Complex branching logic with persistent state across sessions
A conversational agent that books appointments by coordinating between a calendar system, a preference-matching engine, and a confirmation workflow. The graph handles timezone resolution, availability conflicts, rescheduling requests, and reminder sequences. Each step verifies constraints before advancing, preventing double-bookings and invalid time slots through explicit validation nodes.
Key pattern: External system coordination with constraint validation
Why LangGraph: Multi-system orchestration where every step needs verification
LangGraph's ability to model retrieval, evaluation, and generation as distinct graph nodes produces more reliable RAG systems than single-pass approaches.
A retrieval system that decides its own strategy based on query complexity. Simple factual questions route to direct vector search. Ambiguous queries trigger a query decomposition node that breaks the question into sub-queries, retrieves separately, and synthesizes results. A grading node evaluates whether retrieved documents actually answer the question — if not, the graph loops back with a refined query rather than generating a low-quality answer.
Key pattern: Self-evaluating loops with quality gates
Why LangGraph: Conditional routing between retrieval strategies with quality feedback loops
Searches across internal documents, web sources, and structured databases simultaneously, then reconciles conflicting information. A Router node decides which sources are relevant for a given query. Parallel retrieval nodes fetch from each source. A Reconciler identifies contradictions, an Evaluator ranks source credibility, and a Synthesizer produces a coherent answer with citations. Particularly valuable for legal and compliance research where source authority matters.
Key pattern: Parallel retrieval with conflict resolution
Why LangGraph: Parallel execution paths that converge at synthesis nodes
Answers questions about uploaded documents with a built-in fact-checking step. After generating an answer, a Verification node checks every claim against the source document and flags unsupported statements. If the verification score falls below a threshold, the graph routes back to retrieval with more specific queries. This self-correcting pattern dramatically reduces hallucination in document-grounded Q&A.
Key pattern: Generate-then-verify with fallback retrieval
Why LangGraph: Verification loops that catch hallucinations before they reach the user
Coding workflows with multiple validation steps and conditional paths benefit from LangGraph's explicit graph structure.
Generates code from a natural language specification, runs tests, evaluates failures, and iterates. The graph defines explicit paths for syntax errors (regenerate), test failures (debug and fix), and passing tests (submit for review). A maximum iteration limit prevents infinite loops, and a human review node gates the final merge. Used by teams to automate boilerplate and test generation.
Key pattern: Generate → test → fix loop with iteration limits
Why LangGraph: Bounded loops with distinct error-handling paths per failure type
Monitors build failures, analyzes logs, proposes fixes, and optionally applies them. When a build breaks, the agent reads the error output, searches for similar past failures in a knowledge base, generates a fix, and runs the build again. If the fix succeeds, it creates a PR. If it fails after three attempts, it escalates to a human with a detailed analysis of what was tried. Reduces mean time to recovery for routine build failures.
Key pattern: Retry with escalation after bounded attempts
Why LangGraph: Explicit retry limits and escalation paths that guarantee human oversight
Analyzes a schema change request, generates a migration plan, validates it against constraints (foreign keys, indexes, data volume), estimates downtime, and produces rollback scripts. Each validation step is a separate node that can reject the plan and route it back for revision. The graph ensures no migration reaches production without passing all safety checks.
Key pattern: Sequential validation gates with rejection routing
Why LangGraph: Safety-critical workflow where skipping a step is unacceptable
Complex business processes with approval chains, compliance requirements, and multi-system integrations are where LangGraph's control shines brightest.
Reads contracts, extracts key terms (payment schedules, liability clauses, termination conditions), compares against company standards, and flags deviations. A Legal Analyzer node identifies non-standard clauses, a Risk Scorer quantifies exposure, and a Recommendation node suggests specific edits. High-risk items route to legal counsel through a human approval node. Reduces contract review from days to hours.
Key pattern: Extract → compare → score → escalate
Why LangGraph: Compliance-critical workflow with mandatory human review for high-risk items
Processes expense reports through a multi-level approval workflow. A Classification node categorizes expenses, a Policy Checker validates against company rules, and routing nodes direct reports to the appropriate approver based on amount, category, and department. Rejected expenses loop back with specific feedback. The graph enforces that no expense above a threshold bypasses the required approval chain.
Key pattern: Multi-level conditional routing with policy enforcement
Why LangGraph: Business rules that must be followed exactly, with audit trails at every step
Takes an RFP document, decomposes it into individual requirements, retrieves relevant past responses and case studies from a knowledge base, generates section-by-section responses, and assembles a complete proposal. A Compliance Checker ensures every requirement is addressed. A Tone Reviewer ensures consistency. The graph coordinates 10+ nodes to produce a draft that would take a team days to write manually.
Key pattern: Decompose → retrieve → generate → assemble → verify
Why LangGraph: Complex multi-step pipeline where each stage depends on structured output from the previous
Start by drawing your workflow on paper before writing any code. Identify the nodes (actions your agent takes), the edges (what happens after each action), and the state (what information needs to persist between steps). LangGraph's power comes from making these elements explicit — rushing into code without a clear graph design leads to spaghetti logic that's harder to debug than a simpler approach would have been.
Begin with a linear graph: input → process → output. Add one conditional edge. Test it thoroughly. Then add complexity incrementally — a loop here, a human checkpoint there. The framework comparison can help you decide if LangGraph's explicit control is worth the additional setup time for your specific use case.

LangGraph gives you precise control over what your agent does. But when that agent interacts with users, partners, or other systems, those counterparties need a way to verify who they're dealing with — independently of the agent's internal architecture.
RNWY provides that verification layer. Register your LangGraph agent and give it a permanent, non-transferable identity that tracks its history transparently. Users can verify your agent's track record before granting it access to their data, systems, or workflows. The graph defines how your agent behaves. The identity proves it's accountable.
