All case studies

A good fit if

  • You followed a LangChain quick-start and now the codebase is spaghetti — your team can't reason about it and refactor risk is high.
  • You need to add tool-use, memory, streaming, or proper state management to an existing chatbot and your team hasn't shipped either at scale.
  • You want to migrate a brittle LangChain app to LangGraph to get checkpointer-based crash recovery and a cleaner mental model.

Not a fit if

  • You haven’t picked a use case yet (start with the Sprint)
  • You want a no-code bot builder
  • You need someone on it every month (that’s the Retainer)

What moves the price

  • Greenfield vs audit + refactor of an existing codebase
  • Number of retrievers, tools, and external integrations
  • Whether you need a full eval harness or just baseline tracing
  • Python vs TypeScript (both supported)

Standalone engagements and LangGraph consulting run $8–25K depending on scope. Most LangGraph work lands inside an AI Product Sprint ($30–60K) or as part of an Agentic Product Retainer ($15–30K/mo). The standalone tier exists for teams who already know exactly what they need.

Included
  • A codebase your team can reason about
  • Hybrid retrieval with reranking and citations
  • Tracing with cost and latency dashboards
  • Evals on every prompt change
  • Code review and a 4-hour team workshop
How it works

From messy prototype to a graph you can trust.

  1. Week 1

    Codebase audit or greenfield scope

    If existing code: walkthrough + audit report with prioritized fixes. If greenfield: state schema and tool list.

  2. Week 2

    Architecture + eval baseline

    Choose LangChain vs LangGraph, set up tracing, write the first 20 eval cases so every future change is measurable.

  3. Weeks 3–4

    Build sprints

    Retrievers, tools, memory, streaming — in priority order. Weekly demo with traces and eval scores.

  4. Week 5+

    Hardening + handoff

    Load-test, tune, document. Optional Retainer for ongoing prompt and eval work.

What you don't risk
  • Fixed price after scoping
  • Works in your repo, your way
  • Python or TypeScript
  • Handoff workshop included

Everything that's included

  • A clean LangGraph or LangChain codebase with opinionated structure — chains, graphs, prompts, tools, evals each in their own place.
  • Production-grade retrievers: chunking, embeddings, hybrid search (BM25 + dense), reranking, and answer citation.
  • Custom tools wired to your APIs with proper schemas, error handling, retry logic, and MCP-native exposure.
  • Streaming end-to-end so your UI doesn't sit spinning on long generations.
  • LangSmith or LangFuse tracing with cost and latency dashboards.
  • Eval harness using LangSmith datasets or custom scripts — every prompt change is measurable.
  • Full code review and a 4-hour team workshop on the architecture.

What I build with

Default to LangGraph over linear LangChain for production systems — cyclical graphs make agentic loops and error correction tractable, and the checkpointer gives you crash recovery for free. For RAG, hybrid retrieval (BM25 + dense vectors) beats pure vector search; in tests vector-only misses up to 24% of exact keyword matches like SKU numbers and client names. My RAG pipelines use pgvector + Cohere reranking with P95 latency under 180ms. MCP-native tool exposure from day one so you stop paying the N×M integration tax.

FAQ

Common questions.

Real questions from scoping calls. If yours isn't here, ask it on a free 30-minute call.

LangChain works for single-prompt chains, RAG, simple tool-use. LangGraph is better the moment you need state that survives across steps, conditional branches, or human-in-the-loop. In 2026 I default to LangGraph for anything beyond a single-shot query — the mental model is cleaner and the checkpointer gives you crash recovery for free.

Yes — one of my most common engagements. Two phases: wrap the existing chain as a LangGraph node first (no behavior change, just lets us start adding state), then decompose incrementally. Keeps the system shippable throughout the migration.

LangSmith by default — cleanest integration with the LangChain stack. LangFuse if you need self-hosted tracing for compliance or if budget is tight. Either way, tracing goes in before we ship — not after the first bug report.

Both. Python for data-heavy pipelines, TS when your agent lives inside a Next.js or Node app. I'll match your existing stack.

I write 20–30 golden test cases in Week 2, hook them to LangSmith datasets (or GitHub Actions), and every prompt/model change runs them automatically. No eval harness = no way to know if you broke something.

Send the problem. I'll send back the plan.
