A comprehensive guide to building intelligent graph-based applications using LangGraph and Neo4j. This implementation is based on the langchain_grapghdb repository and provides advanced graph database integration with LangChain.
LangGraph is a powerful framework for building stateful, multi-actor applications with LLMs. This project demonstrates how to create intelligent graph-based applications that can understand complex relationships, perform multi-hop reasoning, and provide sophisticated query capabilities using Neo4j graph databases.

- Stateful Applications: Maintain conversation state and context across interactions
- Multi-Actor Systems: Coordinate multiple AI agents for complex tasks
- Natural Language to Cypher: Advanced query translation using LangChain's GraphCypherQAChain
- Movie Database Integration: Comprehensive movie dataset with actors, directors, and genres
- Few-Shot Learning: Advanced prompting strategies for improved accuracy
- Groq Integration: Fast inference using Groq's Gemma2-9b-It model
- Interactive Notebooks: Jupyter notebooks for experimentation and learning
- Production-Ready Architecture: Scalable design for enterprise applications
LangGraph extends LangChain to support cyclic graphs, enabling complex workflows and stateful applications. It provides:
