07AI Systems

Agentic workflows, visualized as message flow.

A simplified view of how production agent systems route requests between memory, retrieval, and language model layers.

Active agent request routing showing communication between Agent, Memory, Retriever, Vector Store, LLM, and database.

Database

In production, the agent layer (built with LangChain and LangGraph) decides when to pull from memory, when to retrieve context from a vector store, and when to hand off to the LLM — with every step logged for observability before it reaches a database write.
