About a month ago, we hosted a breakfast in SF to kick off LangChain’s Interrupt conference! We brought the Focused team out to connect with builders and teams working on real AI systems!

It was all about starting the day with practical conversations on what it actually takes to build agentic AI!

Focused POV: If you’re building with AI, start with LangChain!

We’ve used LangChain since day one to build agentic systems that evolve fast and actually ship. It helps us swap models, add tools, and stay current without starting from scratch.

We used it to help Civic Roundtable turn complex data into real-time insights. Read the case study and learn more about our approach, link in bio!
