About the hosts:
LangChain is the platform for the full agent development lifecycle — building, testing, deploying, and monitoring — so AI teams can systematically improve their agents. LangSmith Engine accelerates this cycle further, automatically surfacing and fixing issues to improve agents over time. And because the platform is neutral by design, teams can customize their own stack to optimize on cost and performance as the landscape evolves. More than 7,000 customers, including Nvidia, Workday, Bridgewater, Clay, and Rippling trust LangSmith to build and operate their agents. Learn more: www.langchain.com
