Day 8/30: ReAct Loop in LangGraph
Short summary
This tutorial walks through implementing a ReAct (reason-act-observe-repeat) loop in LangGraph using StateGraph nodes and conditional edges for a support bot scenario. It highlights a key gotcha: StateGraph lacks built-in memory, so agents forget earlier conversation turns unless external context is added. The author teases a follow-up on combining StateGraph with MCP tools for persistent, contextual agent memory.
- •ReAct loop in LangGraph enables reasoning-act-observe cycles for agents
- •StateGraph has no built-in memory, causing agents to forget prior turns
- •Combining StateGraph with MCP tools can add contextual memory to agents
