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?

super helpful 🤓
Thank you !
Excellent overview. Thanks so much for taking the time to create this!
Thank you sooo much for this video. You have no idea how much time I saved with this

I found the same result. However, I'm quite noob
This is a real gem. Keep working on these type of videos. Thank you.
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 !
Be cool to see agent swarm vs AutoGen 2 vs Lang graph
Thanks
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.
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!
