So after several weeks of diving into Langchain, I've personally found it to be cumbersome and overly complex for simple POC's I want to build. There are many integrations, but also a huge range of features, interface/method implementations, etc. The documentation page is great, *if* you are only mimicking the exact use case in the scenario. Try doing anything else, and found that the conceptual explanations are quite weak. I understand why they implemented LCEL, however that just adds yet another layer of abstraction to what would be a simple chain of function calls (and worse because you can't easily inspect what each component is doing. Has anyone else had this experience? Should i keep grinding, or spend more time hopping to even more platforms/integrations/etc. There are so many options!
@@WhatsAI that's great, going to give it a try. So my use case seems plausible right. That I could be running natural language queries on my WordPress website (powered by MySQL) . Inclusive of customer purchases and orders which are stored in that database?

Excellent overview. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this!
This is a real gem. Keep working on these type of videos. Thank you.
Thank you sooo much for this video. You have no idea how much time I saved with this
super helpful 🤓
Thank you !

I found the same result. However, I'm quite noob
Langchain then.
Thank you for sharing this.
Hello Mauril! I'm hoping to learn how to create LLM apps from you, I have intermediate Python knowledge.
Best regards sensei !
Thanks
Be cool to see agent swarm vs AutoGen 2 vs Lang graph
Can i connect either of these to a MySQL database?
I believe you can yes! Llamaindex has libraries to deal with sql databases :)

@shoopieable definitely sounds possible yes!
OpenAI Assitant with Retrieval doesn't give good answers. LangChain + GPT3.5 + RAG give awesone answers.
Indeed!
That's what I am currently using, you forgot to mention OAI A + R is slower and more expensive as well.
