LangGraph 代表了构建智能对话式 AI 系统的范式转变。与遵循僵化决策树的传统聊天机器人不同，LangGraph 支持创建能够根据上下文和用户需求进行推理、规划和调整响应的智能体 AI 系统。本指南将构建可用于生产环境的聊天机器人，充分利用 LangGraph 的状态管理和工作流编排功能。
一、LangGraph 是什么？
LangGraph 是一个基于 LangChain 构建的库，它提供了一个框架，用于创建具有大型语言模型 (LLM) 的有状态、多参与者应用程序。它将链的概念扩展到图，其中每个节点代表一个函数或代理，而边则定义了执行流程和状态转换。
1.1 LangGraph 的主要优势
-
状态管理：跨对话回合保持状态持久化
-
条件逻辑：基于对话上下文的动态路由
-
多智能体编排：协调多个专业智能体
-
人机协同：无缝整合人工监督
-
容错性：内置错误处理和恢复机制
1.2 LangGraph 核心概念和架构
状态管理
任何 LangGraph 应用的基础都是其状态模式。它定义了对话过程中哪些信息会持久存在：
from typing import TypedDict, List
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
class ChatbotState(TypedDict):
messages: List[dict]
user_context: dict
current_intent: str
conversation_history: List[dict]
pending_actions: List[str]
图结构
LangGraph 应用程序构建为有向图，其中：
-
节点代表处理和修改状态的函数
-
边定义了节点之间的流
-
条件边支持基于状态的动态路由
二、构建你的第一个智能聊天机器人
步骤 1：定义状态模式
from typing import TypedDict, List, Optional
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, END
from langchain_core.messages import HumanMessage, AIMessage
class ConversationState(TypedDict):
messages: List[dict]
user_profile: dict
current_task: Optional[str]
context_memory: dict
requires_human_review: bool
步骤二：创建核心代理功能
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
def intent_classifier(state: ConversationState) -> ConversationState:
"""Classify user intent and update state accordingly."""
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
("system", "Classify the user's intent from their message. Categories: question, request, complaint, compliment, other"),
("human", "{user_message}")
])
last_message = state["messages"][-1]["content"]
response = llm.invoke(prompt.format(user_message=last_message))
state["current_task"] = response.content.strip().lower()
return state
def response_generator(state: ConversationState) -> ConversationState:
"""Generate contextual response based on intent and history."""
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
context = f"""
User Intent: {state['current_task']}
Conversation History: {state['context_memory']}
User Profile: {state['user_profile']}
"""
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
("system", f"You are a helpful assistant. Context: {context}"),
("human", "{user_message}")
])
last_message = state["messages"][-1]["content"]
response = llm.invoke(prompt.format(user_message=last_message))
# Add AI response to messages
state["messages"].append({
"role": "assistant",
"content": response.content
})
return state
步骤 3：实现条件逻辑
def should_escalate(state: ConversationState) -> str:
"""Determine if conversation should be escalated to human agent."""
escalation_intents = ["complaint", "complex_request", "billing_issue"]
if state["current_task"] in escalation_intents:
return "human_agent"
elif state["requires_human_review"]:
return "human_review"
else:
return "continue_bot"
def human_escalation_handler(state: ConversationState) -> ConversationState:
"""Handle escalation to human agents."""
state["requires_human_review"] = True
state["messages"].append({
"role": "system",
"content": "Escalating to human agent. Please wait for assistance."
})
return state
步骤 4：构建图表
def create_chatbot_graph():
# Initialize the graph
workflow = StateGraph(ConversationState)
# Add nodes
workflow.add_node("classify_intent", intent_classifier)
workflow.add_node("generate_response", response_generator)
workflow.add_node("human_escalation", human_escalation_handler)
# Define the flow
workflow.set_entry_point("classify_intent")
# Add conditional edges
workflow.add_conditional_edges(
"classify_intent",
should_escalate,
{
"human_agent": "human_escalation",
"human_review": "human_escalation",
"continue_bot": "generate_response"
}
)
# End points
workflow.add_edge("generate_response", END)
workflow.add_edge("human_escalation", END)
return workflow.compile()
三、生产系统的高级功能
3.1 内存和上下文管理
class AdvancedMemoryManager:
def __init__(self):
self.conversation_memory = {}
self.user_profiles = {}
def update_context(self, state: ConversationState) -> ConversationState:
"""Update long-term memory and context."""
user_id = state.get("user_id", "anonymous")
# Update conversation memory
if user_id not in self.conversation_memory:
self.conversation_memory[user_id] = []
self.conversation_memory[user_id].extend(state["messages"][-2:])
# Update user profile based on conversation patterns
self.update_user_profile(user_id, state)
state["context_memory"] = self.conversation_memory[user_id][-10:] # Keep last 10 exchanges
return state
def update_user_profile(self, user_id: str, state: ConversationState):
"""Update user profile based on interaction patterns."""
if user_id not in self.user_profiles:
self.user_profiles[user_id] = {
"preferences": {},
"interaction_count": 0,
"common_intents": []
}
profile = self.user_profiles[user_id]
profile["interaction_count"] += 1
# Track common intents
current_intent = state.get("current_task")
if current_intent:
profile["common_intents"].append(current_intent)
3.2 多智能体协调
def create_multi_agent_system():
"""Create a system with specialized agents."""
def route_to_specialist(state: ConversationState) -> str:
"""Route to appropriate specialist agent."""
intent = state["current_task"]
routing_map = {
"technical_support": "tech_agent",
"billing_inquiry": "billing_agent",
"product_question": "product_agent",
"general": "general_agent"
}
return routing_map.get(intent, "general_agent")
# Specialized agent functions
def technical_support_agent(state: ConversationState) -> ConversationState:
"""Handle technical support queries."""
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
("system", """You are a technical support specialist.
Provide detailed, step-by-step solutions for technical issues.
Always ask for clarification if the problem is unclear."""),
("human", "{user_message}")
])
# Implementation details...
return state
def billing_agent(state: ConversationState) -> ConversationState:
"""Handle billing and payment queries."""
# Implementation for billing-specific logic
return state
# Build multi-agent graph
workflow = StateGraph(ConversationState)
workflow.add_node("intent_router", intent_classifier)
workflow.add_node("tech_agent", technical_support_agent)
workflow.add_node("billing_agent", billing_agent)
workflow.add_node("product_agent", response_generator) # Reuse for product queries
workflow.add_node("general_agent", response_generator)
workflow.set_entry_point("intent_router")
workflow.add_conditional_edges(
"intent_router",
route_to_specialist,
{
"tech_agent": "tech_agent",
"billing_agent": "billing_agent",
"product_agent": "product_agent",
"general_agent": "general_agent"
}
)
return workflow.compile()
四、生产部署注意事项
4.1 错误处理和恢复能力
import logging
from typing import Any
def robust_node_wrapper(func):
"""Decorator to add error handling to graph nodes."""
def wrapper(state: ConversationState) -> ConversationState:
try:
return func(state)
except Exception as e:
logging.error(f"Error in {func.__name__}: {str(e)}")
# Add error message to conversation
state["messages"].append({
"role": "system",
"content": "I encountered an issue. Let me try a different approach."
})
# Set flag for human review
state["requires_human_review"] = True
return state
return wrapper
@robust_node_wrapper
def safe_response_generator(state: ConversationState) -> ConversationState:
"""Error-resistant response generation."""
return response_generator(state)
4.2 性能优化
from functools import lru_cache
import asyncio
class OptimizedChatbot:
def __init__(self):
self.llm_cache = {}
self.response_cache = {}
@lru_cache(maxsize=1000)
def cached_intent_classification(self, message: str) -> str:
"""Cache intent classifications for common queries."""
# Implementation with caching
pass
async def async_response_generation(self, state: ConversationState) -> ConversationState:
"""Asynchronous response generation for better performance."""
# Async implementation
pass
4.3 检测与分析
import time
from datetime import datetime
class ChatbotAnalytics:
def __init__(self):
self.metrics = {
"total_conversations": 0,
"average_response_time": 0,
"escalation_rate": 0,
"user_satisfaction": 0
}
def track_conversation(self, state: ConversationState, start_time: float):
"""Track conversation metrics."""
response_time = time.time() - start_time
self.metrics["total_conversations"] += 1
self.metrics["average_response_time"] = (
(self.metrics["average_response_time"] * (self.metrics["total_conversations"] - 1) + response_time)
/ self.metrics["total_conversations"]
)
if state.get("requires_human_review"):
self.metrics["escalation_rate"] += 1
def log_interaction(self, state: ConversationState):
"""Log interaction for analysis."""
log_entry = {
"timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat(),
"intent": state.get("current_task"),
"messages_count": len(state["messages"]),
"escalated": state.get("requires_human_review", False)
}
# Send to logging system
logging.info(f"Interaction logged: {log_entry}")
五、集成模式
5.1 Web API 集成
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException
from pydantic import BaseModel
app = FastAPI()
chatbot_graph = create_chatbot_graph()
class ChatRequest(BaseModel):
message: str
user_id: str
session_id: str
class ChatResponse(BaseModel):
response: str
requires_human: bool
session_id: str
@app.post("/chat", response_model=ChatResponse)
async def chat_endpoint(request: ChatRequest):
"""API endpoint for chatbot interactions."""
try:
initial_state = {
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": request.message}],
"user_profile": {},
"current_task": None,
"context_memory": {},
"requires_human_review": False,

}
result = chatbot_graph.invoke(initial_state)
return ChatResponse(
response=result["messages"][-1]["content"],
requires_human=result["requires_human_review"],
session_id=request.session_id
)
except Exception as e:
raise HTTPException(status_code=500, detail=str(e))
5.2 数据库集成
import sqlite3
from typing import Dict, Any
class ConversationDatabase:
def __init__(self, db_path: str):
self.db_path = db_path
self.init_database()
def init_database(self):
"""Initialize database schema."""
conn = sqlite3.connect(self.db_path)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("""
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS conversations (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
user_id TEXT,
session_id TEXT,
message TEXT,
response TEXT,
intent TEXT,
timestamp DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
)
""")
conn.commit()
conn.close()
def save_conversation(self, state: ConversationState, session_id: str):
"""Save conversation to database."""
conn = sqlite3.connect(self.db_path)
cursor = conn.cursor()
last_user_message = None
last_bot_response = None
for msg in reversed(state["messages"]):
if msg["role"] == "user" and not last_user_message:
last_user_message = msg["content"]
elif msg["role"] == "assistant" and not last_bot_response:
last_bot_response = msg["content"]
cursor.execute("""
INSERT INTO conversations (user_id, session_id, message, response, intent)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)
""", (
state.get("user_id", "anonymous"),
session_id,
last_user_message,
last_bot_response,
state.get("current_task")
))
conn.commit()
conn.close()
六、测试和质量保证

"context_memory": {},
"requires_human_review": False
}
def test_intent_classification(self):
"""Test intent classification accuracy."""
with patch('langchain_openai.ChatOpenAI') as mock_llm:
mock_llm.return_value.invoke.return_value.content = "question"
result = intent_classifier(self.sample_state)
self.assertEqual(result["current_task"], "question")
def test_escalation_logic(self):
"""Test escalation decision logic."""
self.sample_state["current_task"] = "complaint"
result = should_escalate(self.sample_state)
self.assertEqual(result, "human_agent")
def test_response_generation(self):
"""Test response generation."""
with patch('langchain_openai.ChatOpenAI') as mock_llm:
mock_llm.return_value.invoke.return_value.content = "Test response"
result = response_generator(self.sample_state)
self.assertEqual(len(result["messages"]), 2)
self.assertEqual(result["messages"][-1]["role"], "assistant")
6.2 集成测试
def test_full_conversation_flow():
"""Test complete conversation flow."""
chatbot = create_chatbot_graph()
test_cases = [
{
"input": "I have a billing question",
"expected_intent": "billing_inquiry",
"should_escalate": True
},
{
"input": "What are your business hours?",
"expected_intent": "general",
"should_escalate": False
}
]
for case in test_cases:
initial_state = {
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": case["input"]}],
"user_profile": {},
"current_task": None,
"context_memory": {},
"requires_human_review": False
}
result = chatbot.invoke(initial_state)
# Verify expected behavior
assert result["current_task"] == case["expected_intent"]
assert result["requires_human_review"] == case["should_escalate"]
