Velaris vs LangChain / LangGraph
Velaris runs on LangGraph — this is framework vs. product.
This one is less a competitor than a foundation: Velaris agents are LangGraph graphs, and we build on it because durable, interruptible multi-step loops are hard and LangGraph gets them right. So the honest line is about what you want to own. Use the framework if you are building a product; use Velaris if you want the product.
| Capability | Velaris | LangChain / LangGraph |
|---|---|---|
| Agent runtime | LangGraph — we build on it | LangGraph — you compose it |
| What you build | Nothing; it arrives assembled | Your graphs, state, nodes and tools |
| Tool wiring | 1000+ connectors in a capability mesh | Tools you write and bind yourself |
| Approvals | Read/write/destructive tiers, built in | Interrupts you design into the graph |
| Deployment | Managed; a UI your team opens | Self-host or LangGraph Platform — your call |
When LangChain / LangGraph is the better choice
If you need control of the loop itself — custom state, your own checkpointer, arbitrary tool code, a runtime you own end to end — use LangGraph directly. Velaris is built on it precisely because it holds up under that kind of use.
