1. Review the transcript:
- Carefully read through the transcript to understand the main topics and concepts.
- Identify the key ideas and supporting details.
2. Organize the content:
- Structure the explanation in a logical order, following the flow of the transcript.
- Group related concepts together for clarity.
3. Explain key concepts:
- Clearly define and explain each important concept from the transcript.
- Use simple language and provide examples where appropriate to aid understanding.
4. Highlight important relationships:
- Emphasize how different concepts relate to each other.
- Explain any cause-and-effect relationships or interdependencies.
5. Summarize main points:
- Provide a concise summary of the most crucial information from the transcript.
- Ensure that the core message of the lecture is conveyed accurately.
6. Use analogies or real-world examples:
- Where possible, include analogies or examples that make abstract concepts more relatable.
7. Address potential areas of confusion:
- Anticipate parts of the transcript that might be challenging and provide additional clarification.
8. Recap key takeaways:
- Conclude with a brief recap of the most important points from the transcript.
Your output should be a clear, well-structured explanation that effectively communicates the content from the transcript. The explanation should be accessible to someone unfamiliar with the topic while still capturing the depth of the material.
Now, please provide an explanation of the key concepts based on the following transcript:

Task:
1. Read the **specification** provided by the user (below).
2. Decide whether a **React-based** agent or a **Workflow-based** agent best fits.
- If the spec explicitly says "react pattern" or "workflow pattern", obey it.
- Otherwise choose the simpler pattern that satisfies the spec:
- highly dynamic → React,
- deterministic multi-step → Workflow.
3. Using the appropriate **Outline** and **Template** (below), generate a complete, runnable Python file that implements the agent.
- Keep model names exactly as requested (`gpt-4o`, `gpt-4o-mini`, `gpt-4.1-2025-04-14`, etc.).
- Put major constants at the top, follow separation-of-concerns, and wrap I/O with `encoding="utf-8"`.
Material you MUST use:
- Comparative analysis, outlines and templates (below).
- The user's **specification**.
──────────────────────────────────────────
Comparative analysis
──────────────────────────────────────────
React-Pattern agent (react_agent.py)
| Characteristic | React Pattern (react_agent.py) | Workflow Pattern (workflow_agent_2.py) |
|----------------|--------------------------------|---------------------------------------|
| Mindset | Event-loop: agent "reacts" to each user turn | State-machine: fixed directed graph of nodes |
| Core Components | Single LLM node (call_tools_llm) and tools-execution node (invoke_tools) | Router node + specialized task nodes |
| Flow Control | After LLM talks, check if message has tool calls; if yes run them, else stop | Router classifies state into next step; graph edges control flow |
| Structure | No hard-coded flow, extremely flexible | Nodes for specific tasks (summarize, transcribe, quiz, etc.) |
| Best Use Case | Unpredictable conversations, many dynamic tool calls | Deterministic paths, compliance, multi-step business logic |
| Validation | Limited | Easy to guarantee business rules and observability |
| LLM Calls | One "brain" node | Many specialized nodes |
| Tool Calls | Dynamic via tool calls | Usually inside dedicated nodes |
| Control Flow | Simple if-else on messages | State graph + router |
| Extensibility | Add more tools | Add more nodes / edges |
| Determinism | Low | High |
| Good For | Search-&-answer, web agent | Education pipeline, multi-step tasks |
```

Outline / recipe
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A. Building a React-Pattern LangGraph Agent
------------------------------------------
1. Setup State and Tools
- Define AgentState dataclass:
* Include messages field (Annotated list[Message], add_messages)
* This tracks conversation history
- Create Helper Tools:
* Write functions and decorate with @tool
* Collect all tools into GLOBAL_TOOLS list
2. Create Core Components
- LLM Node (call_tools_llm):
* Add system prompt explaining tool usage
* Connect tools to LLM via bind_tools(GLOBAL_TOOLS)
* Process messages and return AI response
- Tools Node (invoke_tools):
* Get tool calls from latest message
* Run each tool asynchronously
* Return results as ToolMessages
3. Add Routing Logic
- determine_next_action function:
* Check if AI message has tool calls
* If yes -> route to "invoke_tools"
* If no -> route to END
4. Assemble Graph
- Add core nodes:
* "call_tools_llm"
* "invoke_tools"
- Connect with conditional edges
- Set "call_tools_llm" as entry point
- Compile with AsyncPostgresSaver checkpointer
- Run with initial HumanMessage using async context manager
B. Building a Workflow-Pattern LangGraph Agent
--------------------------------------------
1. Planning Phase
- List Required Tasks:
* Router
* Summarize
* Analyze
* Quiz
* etc.
- Design Data Structures:
* Message schemas (QuestionResponse, Quiz)
* AgentState to track all graph data
2. Implementation
- Build Task Functions:
* Each task is async
* Returns partial AgentState
* Handles specific functionality
- Create Router:
* Analyzes messages via LLM
* Sets appropriate state.route
* goto_route helper maps route to node/END
3. Graph Construction
- Initialize: graph = StateGraph(AgentState)
- Add nodes for each task
- Configure routing:
* Conditional edges from router
* Static edges for linear flows
- Set router as entry point
- Compile with AsyncPostgresSaver and run with initial state using async context manager
Outline / recipe:
──────────────────────────────────────────
A. Building a React-Pattern LangGraph Agent
──────────────────────────────────────────
1. Setup State and Tools
- Define AgentState class with messages field (Annotated list[Message], add_messages)
- Create helper tools with @tool decorator
- Collect tools into GLOBAL_TOOLS list
2. Create Core Nodes
a) LLM Node (call_tools_llm):
- Add system prompt for tool usage
- Connect tools to LLM via bind_tools()
- Process messages and return AI response
b) Tools Node (invoke_tools):
- Get tool calls from latest message
- Run tools asynchronously
- Return results as ToolMessages
3. Add Routing Logic
- determine_next_action function:
* If AI message has tool calls → "invoke_tools"
* Otherwise → END
4. Construct Graph
- Add both core nodes
- Connect nodes with conditional edges
- Set entry point to "call_tools_llm"
- Compile graph with AsyncPostgresSaver checkpointer
- Run with initial HumanMessage using async context manager
B. Building a Workflow-Pattern LangGraph Agent
──────────────────────────────────────────
1. Planning Phase
- List all required tasks (router, summarize, analyze, quiz etc.)
- Design message schemas (QuestionResponse, Quiz)
- Create comprehensive AgentState class
2. Implementation
- Build task-specific async functions
- Create router function to analyze messages
- Implement goto_route helper for navigation
3. Graph Assembly
- Initialize StateGraph
- Add nodes for each task
- Configure routing with conditional edges
- Add direct edges for linear flows
- Set router as entry point
- Compile with AsyncPostgresSaver checkpointer
4. Execution
- Prepare initial messages

All the agents should also have langgraph.json file, This file should be in the root of the project, this is required in the root directory for ```langgraph dev --a``` to work.
Example:
---
{
"dependencies": ["./"],
"graphs": {
"agent": "./agent.py:agent_builder"
},
"env": ".env"
}

PostgreSQL Setup for Local Development
────────────────────────────────
Before running agents with AsyncPostgresSaver, you need a local PostgreSQL instance:
I already have a postgres instance running on my machine, you can use that.
- connection string is : `postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres`
**Database URI Configuration:**
- Default: `postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres`
- Adjust host, port, username, password as needed
- The AsyncPostgresSaver will automatically create required tables
**Important Notes:**
- AsyncPostgresSaver requires async context management (`async with`)
- Always use `from_conn_string()` method for initialization
- The checkpointer handles connection lifecycle automatically
- Thread IDs are used for conversation persistence
────────────────────────────────
Remember:
Then you can run bash```langgraph dev``` in the cli to open the agent in langgraph studio
────────────────────────────────
User specification (generate code for this):
<<<
{{USER_SPEC}}
>>>
The user will provide their requirements now,Suggest an agent to build to them based on their requirement and then build it once you have enough details.
<CRITICAL>
you must set up python environment and install all the dependencies before running the code. (use requirements.txt file to install dependencies and .env file to store the environment variables)
Also Create a readme.md file for the agent and add the instructions to run the agent.
you don't need to create a test file. Just install langgraph-cli[inmem] and run the agent after you are done with the code.
**Required Dependencies for AsyncPostgresSaver:**
``` requirements.txt
langchain-openai
langchain-core
langgraph
langgraph-checkpoint-postgres
langgraph[postgres]
langchain-openai
python-dotenv
tavily-python
langgraph-cli[inmem]
httpx
beautifulsoup4
lxml
pydantic
asyncio
"psycopg[binary]"
psycopg-binary
psycopg-pool
```
Install other dependencies as well as required for the agent.
**PostgreSQL Setup:**
Start a local PostgreSQL instance (see PostgreSQL Setup section above) before running the agent.
then you have to run the code using ```langgraph dev``` , this will catch any errors in the code and you can fix them to make sure it works correctly. you need langgraph-cli[inmem] to run langgraph dev.
Running langgraph dev will give you the following urls:
- 🚀 API: http://127.0.0.1:2024
- 🎨 Studio UI: https://smith.langchain.com/studio/?baseUrl=http://127.0.0.1:2024
- 📚 API Docs: http://127.0.0.1:2024/docs
Running studio will ensure that the graph compiles correctly but you still need to test the graph using graph.invoke() or graph.ainvoke().
**Important:** The AsyncPostgresSaver requires an active PostgreSQL connection. Make sure your database is running and accessible before testing the agent.
</CRITICAL>
# === END META-PROMPT =========================================================
Remember to setup .venv if it doesnt exist. Creating .venv with requirements.txt and assume I have .env file with tavily and openai api keys at the root of the project.
Remember to follow PostgreSQL Setup for Local Development and install everything for that as well.
