Unlock the next evolution of Retrieval-Augmented Generation in this episode of Memriq Inference Digest – Engineering Edition. We explore how combining AI agents with LangGraph's graph-based orchestration transforms brittle linear RAG pipelines into dynamic, multi-step reasoning systems that self-correct and scale.
In this episode:
- Understand the shift from linear RAG to agentic workflows with dynamic tool invocation and query refinement loops
- Dive into LangGraph’s graph orchestration model for managing complex, conditional control flows with state persistence
- Explore the synergy between LangChain tools, ChatOpenAI, and third-party APIs like TavilySearch for multi-source retrieval
- Get under the hood with code patterns including AgentState design, conditional edges, and streaming LLM calls
- Hear from Keith Bourne, author of “Unlocking Data with Generative AI and RAG,” on practical lessons and architectural best practices
- Discuss trade-offs in latency, complexity, debugging, and production readiness for agentic RAG systems
Key tools & technologies mentioned:
- LangGraph (StateGraph, ToolNode)
- LangChain (retriever tools, bind_tools)
- ChatOpenAI (streaming LLM interface)
- Pydantic (structured output validation)
- TavilySearch (live web search API)
