Does AXME replace LangGraph?

No. Use LangGraph for agent logic; AXME for durable execution, HITL, and fleet governance.

Where do I install the adapter?

See /integrations/langgraph/ — pip install axme + langgraph, wrap compile, submit intent.

Can one intent span multiple graphs?

Yes — use intent signals and shared intent IDs for handoffs.

What about LangGraph Platform?

AXME complements hosted or self-hosted LangGraph; compare operational ownership for waits and audit.

COMPARE

LangGraph handles agent reasoning. AXME handles what happens next.

LangGraph for agent reasoning. AXME for durable waits, human approvals, and audit after the graph runs.

AXME and LangGraph are complementary.

LangGraph and AXME solve different layers of the stack. LangGraph defines how your agent thinks — graphs, tools, and checkpoints. AXME defines what happens when that thinking must wait hours, pass human review, or hand off to another service.

What LangGraph does

LangGraph gives you graph-based agent reasoning: nodes for LLM calls and tools, edges for control flow, and optional checkpointing while a single process runs. It is the right place to encode policies, routing, and multi-step reasoning inside one agent or crew graph.

What AXME adds on top

AXME wraps graph execution in durable intents: waiting for humans, external APIs, other agents, and compliance review — with audit, retries, and delivery modes that survive deploys and crashes. You keep LangGraph for the loop; AXME owns production lifecycle.

The production pattern is LangGraph for reasoning, AXME for everything after a node needs durability — submit an intent before kickoff, call wait_for_human at approval nodes, and complete the intent when the graph finishes. See the LangGraph integration guide for a five-step quickstart.

COMPARE

LangGraph + AXME — complementary layers

Framework for reasoning; AXME for production lifecycle.

Capability	LangGraph	AXME
Agent reasoning Graphs, tools, and state inside the loop.	Core strength — nodes, edges, and checkpointing	✓Integrates — does not replace LangGraph graphs
After the graph returns What happens when a node needs hours or days.	In-memory or short-lived checkpoints unless you add glue	✓Durable waits, delivery modes, and HITL on intents
Human approval Production gates before spend or external action.	Pause graph manually or custom interrupt handlers	✓wait_for_human with assignees and SLA timers
Cross-service handoff CRM, payments, ticketing, second agent.	More nodes — durability and audit are your problem	✓Intent signals + WAITING_FOR_TOOL states
Production audit Forensics for security and compliance.	Log graph state yourself or add AXME on top	✓Intent-level audit across graph runs
Fleet operations Many graphs/agents in production.	Not provided — operational layer is separate	✓Mesh visibility, kill switch, cost control

PATTERNS

Approval node with AXME

LangGraph only

def approve_plan(state):
    # blocks process or needs custom interrupt
    if not state["approved"]:
        raise NodeInterrupt("waiting")
    return state

LangGraph + AXME

async def approve_plan(state):
    await axme.wait_for_human(
        task="approve_plan",
        assignee=state["manager_id"],
        payload={"plan": state["plan"]},
    )
    return {**state, "approved": True}

PRODUCTION CHECKLIST

Before you call it shipped.

Durability

Graph checkpoints are not a substitute for intent-level waits across deploys.

Audit

Export intent transitions for security review — not only graph stdout.

Fleet safety

Add Mesh when more than a handful of graphs run in production.

Cost control

Cap token spend per intent before graphs call expensive tools.
