Created by: Fikayo Adepoju
Last updated February 2026
What you will learn
- Master LCEL Orchestration: Build highly efficient, composable AI pipelines using the LangChain Expression Language and Runnable interfaces.
- Develop Autonomous Agents: Use create_agent to build intelligent assistants that can reason and interact with external tools.
- Architect Stateful Graphs: Design non-linear AI workflows using LangGraph to handle complex branching and looping logic.
- Implement Robust Persistence: Use Checkpointers to save graph state, enabling agents to resume tasks and maintain memory.
- Enable Production Monitoring: Set up LangSmith to trace every step of your application's execution for rapid debugging and optimization.
- Evaluate AI Performance: Leverage LangSmith datasets and functions to monitor latency, cost, and output quality in real-world scenarios.

Course Description
Welcome to the most complete, up-to-date guide on the modern AI stack: LangChain, LangGraph, and LangSmith. In 2026, building a simple wrapper around an LLM is no longer enough. To create applications that are truly useful, they must be reliable, stateful, and observable. This course is designed to take you from a beginner to a professional AI Engineer by mastering the three pillars of the LangChain ecosystem.
We begin with LangChain, where you will learn to move beyond basic API calls using the LangChain Expression Language (LCEL). You'll master the art of orchestration, building "Runnable Chains" that are efficient, asynchronous, and production-ready. From there, we transition into LangGraph, the industry standard for building agentic workflows. You will learn to move away from linear chains and into cyclic state machines, implementing persistence with Checkpointers so your agents never "forget" a conversation or lose their place during a crash.
Finally, we bridge the gap between development and production with LangSmith. You will learn how to monitor your applications in real-time, debug complex reasoning paths with detailed traces, and use evaluation suites to ensure your AI behaves exactly as intended. This isn't just a coding course; it’s a blueprint for building enterprise-grade AI systems that are as robust as they are intelligent.

The content is useful, but verbose and repetitive. Instead of using pre-made slides, the instructor draws by hand, which is time-consuming and confusing.
By Debabrata Bardhan on 6/14/2026
Love the way the instructor is explaining concepts with pen and paper, it's like a real class room .
By Dariusz Wójcik on 4/4/2026
Good course overall. It is obvious that the instructor knows the subject very well, and the content itself is valuable. I still liked the course, however it could have been significantly shorter than 29 hours. A large part of the course consists of watching code being typed slowly or diagrams being drawn, while there is very little discussion of the overall architecture and conceptual layers. You can see many classes, types, and structures being used, but without a clear explanation of how they fit into the broader LangChain or LangGraph architecture. What I missed most was a higher-level architectural view — where specific components belong and why they are used in a given layer. Because of this, I often had to rely on Copilot and external explanations to understand the architectural intent, which ideally should be explained by the instructor. The course has strong practical examples, but a deeper architectural walkthrough would significantly improve it.

Honestly, this course is simply AMAZING, Delivery, topics, PROJECTS!!! The whole package
By Aleksandr Sharikov on 3/9/2026
Good explanations and examples. Everything looks OK. But I think it will be useful to add one more lecture about changes after major version upgrades.

The english accent of the teacher is TOOO heavy... it's very hard to understand everything :(
By Modestus Lorence on 1/23/2026
Well structured and clear explanations. Keep up all your great work. Hope to see more courses from Fikayo.

That chapter on LangChain Orchestration with runnables was where I knew I was gonna rate this course highly. Been looking for a resource to teach it clearly, even in the LangChain docs. This just opened it up clearly and precisely. Thank YOU!!!
