Do you want to build your own custom AI agent? LangChain, whose framework already sits inside thousands of prototype chatbots, has made it easier for anyone to build their own custom team of AI agents with the Open Agent Platform (OAP) announced during the company's Interrupt 2025 conference. Open Agent Platform (OAP) is a browser-based, open-source, no-code AI agent builder for business professionals, allowing them to design, test, and run LangGraph agents without touching a single line of Python.
What is the Open Agent Platform (OAP) by LangChain?
OAP is a system designed to let individuals, even those without a technical background, build, test, and use AI agents. It offers a modern, web-based interface that simplifies the process of agent building and management. It is a workshop where you can build custom intelligent assistants for specific business needs.
Why business teams should care
Open Agent Platform (OAP) removes the technical hurdles typically associated with building AI agents, those smart software systems that can perform tasks, answer questions, or interact with other systems on your behalf.
OAP tries to make the serious agent work feel as straightforward as building a spreadsheet macro by baking in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) hooks, straightforward authentication, and a supervisor layer for multi-agent orchestration.
What are the main features of the Open Agent Platform (OAP)?
Agent Management:
Users get a straightforward web interface to build their agents, adjust how they work, and see them in action.
RAG Integration:
It readily connects with 'LangConnect,' allowing agents to pull information from your company's documents or databases, meaning your agents can provide answers based on your specific business knowledge, a technique known as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).
MCP Tools:
Agents can be linked to 'MCP Tools,' which allows them to interact with other software or data sources your business already uses, extending their utility.
Agent Supervision:
A particularly interesting function is the 'Agent Supervisor,' which allows you to coordinate multiple agents, having them collaborate on more complex assignments, like a team of specialists working together.
Authentication:
The platform includes features for managing who can access and use the agents, which is important for maintaining control and security over your custom-built tools.
Configurable Agents:
OAP offers a rich user interface so you can easily define how others can customize the agents you build, customizing them for different needs without anyone needing to delve into code.
OAP targets "citizen developers": operations managers, product leads, and even HR teams who know what an agent should do but don't have time to be full-time coders.
How to try and test the public demo:
Visit the LangChain Demo page and sign up. You can either directly talk with the pre-existing Default Assistant or Primary Assistant, or create your own AI agent or multi-agent supervisor.
Conclusion:
LangChain's Open Agent Platform lowers the barrier to building useful AI agents by making it accessible through its no-code environment. OAP can lead to more varieties of AI applications being developed and used within businesses by those who best understand the day-to-day challenges and opportunities that being citizen developers like ops managers, product leads, marketing specialists, HR managers, and sales leads.
