Side-by-side Quick Start
LangGraph
import { StateGraph, END } from '@langchain/langgraph';
const workflow = new StateGraph({ channels: { messages: { value: (x, y) => x.concat(y) } } });
workflow.addNode('agent', async (state) => {
const response = await llm.invoke(state.messages);
return { messages: [response] };
});
workflow.setEntryPoint('agent');
workflow.addEdge('agent', END);
const app = workflow.compile();
const result = await app.invoke({ messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello' }] });CrewAI
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
# Create specialized agents
