Not Another Workflow Builder

- LangChain has not pursued a visual workflow builder, leaving it to others like LangFlow, Flowise, and n8n.
- The main motivation for no-code workflow builders is to allow non-technical users to build agents due to engineering talent constraints and domain knowledge.
- Workflows offer predictability at the expense of autonomy, while agents offer autonomy at the expense of predictability.
- Visual workflow builders are not low-barrier for non-technical users and become unmanageable with complexity.
- For high complexity, workflows in code (e.g., LangGraph) are best; for low complexity, no-code agents are sufficient.
- No-code workflow builders are getting squeezed as no-code agents and code-based workflows become more viable.
- The future lies in making no-code agent creation easier and improving code generation for LLM-powered workflows/agents.
