Build a Customer Support Bot¶
Customer support bots can free up teams' time by handling routine issues, but it can be hard to build a bot that reliably handles diverse tasks in a way that doesn't leave the user pulling their hair out.
In this tutorial, you will build a customer support bot for an airline to help users research and make travel arrangements. You'll learn to use LangGraph's interrupts and checkpointers and more complex state to organize your assistant's tools and manage a user's flight bookings, hotel reservations, car rentals, and excursions. It assumes you are familiar with the concepts presented in the LangGraph introductory tutorial.
By the end, you'll have built a working bot and gained an understanding of LangGraph's key concepts and architectures. You'll be able to apply these design patterns to your other AI projects.
Your final chat bot will look something like the following diagram:
Let's start!
Prerequisites¶
First, set up your environment. We'll install this tutorial's prerequisites, download the test DB, and define the tools we will reuse in each section.
We'll be using Claude as our LLM and define a number of custom tools. While most of our tools will connect to a local sqlite database (and require no additional dependencies), we will also provide a general web search to the agent using Tavily.
%%capture --no-stderr
% pip install -U langgraph langchain-community langchain-anthropic tavily-python pandas
import getpass
import os
def _set_env(var: str):
if not os.environ.get(var):
os.environ[var] = getpass.getpass(f"{var}: ")
_set_env("ANTHROPIC_API_KEY")
_set_env("TAVILY_API_KEY")
Populate the database¶
Run the next script to fetch a sqlite
DB we've prepared for this tutorial and update it to look like it's current. The details are unimportant.
import os
import shutil
import sqlite3
import pandas as pd
import requests
db_url = "https://storage.googleapis.com/benchmarks-artifacts/travel-db/travel2.sqlite"
local_file = "travel2.sqlite"
# The backup lets us restart for each tutorial section
backup_file = "travel2.backup.sqlite"
overwrite = False
if overwrite or not os.path.exists(local_file):
response = requests.get(db_url)
response.raise_for_status() # Ensure the request was successful
with open(local_file, "wb") as f:
f.write(response.content)
# Backup - we will use this to "reset" our DB in each section
shutil.copy(local_file, backup_file)
# Convert the flights to present time for our tutorial
def update_dates(file):
shutil.copy(backup_file, file)
conn = sqlite3.connect(file)
cursor = conn.cursor()
tables = pd.read_sql(
"SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table';", conn
).name.tolist()
tdf = {}
for t in tables:
tdf[t] = pd.read_sql(f"SELECT * from {t}", conn)
example_time = pd.to_datetime(
tdf["flights"]["actual_departure"].replace("\\N", pd.NaT)
).max()
current_time = pd.to_datetime("now").tz_localize(example_time.tz)
time_diff = current_time - example_time
tdf["bookings"]["book_date"] = (
pd.to_datetime(tdf["bookings"]["book_date"].replace("\\N", pd.NaT), utc=True)
+ time_diff
)
datetime_columns = [
"scheduled_departure",
"scheduled_arrival",
"actual_departure",
"actual_arrival",
]
for column in datetime_columns:
tdf["flights"][column] = (
pd.to_datetime(tdf["flights"][column].replace("\\N", pd.NaT)) + time_diff
)
for table_name, df in tdf.items():
df.to_sql(table_name, conn, if_exists="replace", index=False)
del df
del tdf
conn.commit()
conn.close()
return file
db = update_dates(local_file)
Tools¶
Next, define our assistant's tools to search the airline's policy manual and search and manage reservations for flights, hotels, car rentals, and excursions. We will reuse these tools throughout the tutorial. The exact implementations aren't important, so feel free to run the code below and jump to Part 1.
Lookup Company Policies¶
The assistant retrieve policy information to answer user questions. Note that enforcement of these policies still must be done within the tools/APIs themselves, since the LLM can always ignore this.

scores = np.array(embed.data[0].embedding) @ self._arr.T
top_k_idx = np.argpartition(scores, -k)[-k:]
top_k_idx_sorted = top_k_idx[np.argsort(-scores[top_k_idx])]
return [
{**self._docs[idx], "similarity": scores[idx]} for idx in top_k_idx_sorted
]
retriever = VectorStoreRetriever.from_docs(docs, openai.Client())
@tool
def lookup_policy(query: str) -> str:
"""Consult the company policies to check whether certain options are permitted.
Use this before making any flight changes performing other 'write' events."""
docs = retriever.query(query, k=2)
return "\n\n".join([doc["page_content"] for doc in docs])
Flights¶
Define the (fetch_user_flight_information
) tool to let the agent see the current user's flight information. Then define tools to search for flights and manage the passenger's bookings stored in the SQL database.
We the can access the RunnableConfig for a given run to check the passenger_id
of the user accessing this application. The LLM never has to provide these explicitly, they are provided for a given invocation of the graph so that each user cannot access other passengers' booking information.
Compatibility
This tutorial expects `langchain-core>=0.2.16` to use the injected RunnableConfig. Prior to that, you'd use `ensure_config` to collect the config from context.

Utilities¶
Define helper functions to pretty print the messages in the graph while we debug it and to give our tool node error handling (by adding the error to the chat history).
from langchain_core.messages import ToolMessage
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableLambda
from langgraph.prebuilt import ToolNode
def handle_tool_error(state) -> dict:
error = state.get("error")
tool_calls = state["messages"][-1].tool_calls
return {
"messages": [
ToolMessage(
content=f"Error: {repr(error)}\n please fix your mistakes.",
tool_call_id=tc["id"],
)
for tc in tool_calls
]
}
def create_tool_node_with_fallback(tools: list) -> dict:
return ToolNode(tools).with_fallbacks(
[RunnableLambda(handle_tool_error)], exception_key="error"
)
def _print_event(event: dict, _printed: set, max_length=1500):
current_state = event.get("dialog_state")
if current_state:
print("Currently in: ", current_state[-1])
message = event.get("messages")
if message:
if isinstance(message, list):
message = message[-1]
if message.id not in _printed:
msg_repr = message.pretty_repr(html=True)
if len(msg_repr) > max_length:
msg_repr = msg_repr[:max_length] + " ... (truncated)"
print(msg_repr)
_printed.add(message.id)
Part 1: Zero-shot Agent¶
When building, it's best to start with the simplest working implementation and use an evaluation tool like LangSmith to measure its efficacy. All else equal, prefer simple, scalable solutions to complicated ones. In this case, the single-graph approach has limitations. The bot may take undesired actions without user confirmation, struggle with complex queries, and lack focus in its responses. We'll address these issues later.
In this section, we will define a simple Zero-shot agent as the assistant, give the agent all of our tools, and prompt it to use them judiciously to assist the user.
The simple 2-node graph will look like the following:
Start by defining the state.
State¶
Define our StateGraph
's state as a typed dictionary containing an append-only list of messages. These messages form the chat history, which is all the state our simple assistant needs.
from typing import Annotated
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
from langgraph.graph.message import AnyMessage, add_messages
class State(TypedDict):
messages: Annotated[list[AnyMessage], add_messages]
Agent¶
Next, define the assistant function. This function takes the graph state, formats it into a prompt, and then calls an LLM for it to predict the best response.

Example Conversation¶
Now it's time to try out our mighty chatbot! Let's run it over the following list of dialog turns. If it hits a "RecursionLimit", that means the agent wasn't able to get an answer in the allocated number of steps. That's OK! We have more tricks up our sleeve in later sections of this tutorial.

"OK could you place a reservation for your recommended hotel? It sounds nice.",

"Cool so now what recommendations do you have on excursions?",

With your rental car, you can easily do self-guided day trips to places like: - Lucerne (1.5 hour drive) - Bern (1 hour drive) - Zurich (1 hour drive) - Rhine Falls (45 min drive) - Alsace, France (1 hour drive) And in Basel itself, you can explore at your own pace hitting top sights like: - Basel Munster cathedral - Old Town - Basel Paper Mill Museum - Rhine river promenades There are also several highly-rated free walking tour companies that operate daily in Basel you could join. Rather than pre-booking rigid excursions, having the rental car will give you maximum flexibility to pick and choose what you want to do day-to-day based on your interests and the weather. Let me know if you'd still like me to continue searching for pre-bookable tours, or if you're okay winging it and using the rental car to explore Basel and do day trips during your week there. ================================ Human Message ================================= interesting - i like the museums, what options are there? ================================== Ai Message ================================== [{'text': 'Good call on wanting to check out some museums during your stay in Basel.

A bit outside the city center. - Basel Paper Mill Museum - Unique museum tracing the history of paper and paper-making. - Spielzeug Welten Museum - Fun toy and doll museum for kids and adults alike. Day Trips: - Albertina Museum (Zurich) - Impressive collections of modern art and photography - Sammlung Rosengart (Lucerne) - Housing works by Picasso, Cézanne, Klee and more - Olympic Museum (Lausanne) Since I couldn't find any pre-booked options, I'd recommend just planning to visit whichever museums pique your interest most once you're in Basel, using your rental car to get around. Most are open daily with ticket purchases available on-site. Let me know if you need any other museum recommendations! ================================ Human Message ================================= OK great pick one and book it for my second day there. ================================== Ai Message ================================== Sure, let's book an museum visit for your second day in Basel, which will be Wednesday, May 9th. Based on the excellent museum options you have in Basel itself, I'd recommend visiting the acclaimed Kunstmuseum Basel, one of the largest and most impressive art museums in Switzerland. While I couldn't find a way to pre-book tickets or tours through this system, the Kunstmuseum is open daily, and we can plan for you to purchase tickets directly there on May 9th. Here are some highlights of the Kunstmuseum Basel that make it a great option: - It houses the largest and most significant public art collection in the entire country - The collection spans from the 15th century up through contemporary art - Notable works by Holbein, Witz, Cranach, Böcklin, Cézanne, Gauguin, Monet, Picasso and more - The main building was designed by Christ & Gantenbein and has received architectural awards - They have excellent audio guide tours available in multiple languages - The museum is conveniently located in the city center, about a 10 minute walk from your hotel My recommendation would be to plan to arrive at the Kunstmuseum Basel around 10am on Wednesday, May 9th after breakfast. This will allow you to purchase tickets and take your time exploring their impeccable collections and audio tours. Let me know if you'd like to book the Kunstmuseum for the morning of May 9th, or if you had another museum ... (truncated)
Part 1 Review¶
Our simple assistant is not bad! It was able to respond reasonably well for all the questions, quickly respond in-context, and successfully execute all our tasks. You can (check out an example LangSmith trace)[https://smith.langchain.com/public/f9e77b80-80ec-4837-98a8-254415cb49a1/r/26146720-d3f9-44b6-9bb9-9158cde61f9d] to get a better sense of how the LLM is prompted throughout the interactions above.
If this were a simple Q&A bot, we'd probably be happy with the results above. Since our customer support bot is taking actions on behalf of the user, some of its behavior above is a bit concerning:
- The assistant booked a car when we were focusing on lodging, then had to cancel and rebook later on: oops! The user should have final say before booking to avoid unwanted feeds.
- The assistant struggled to search for recommendations. We could improve this by adding more verbose instructions and examples using the tool, but doing this for every tool can lead to a large prompt and overwhelmed agent.
- The assistant had to do an explicit search just to get the user's relevant information. We can save a lot of time by fetching the user's relevant travel details immediately so the assistant can directly respond.
In the next section, we will address the first two of these issues.
Part 2: Add Confirmation¶
When an assistant takes actions on behalf of the user, the user should (almost) always have the final say on whether to follow through with the actions. Otherwise, any small mistake the assistant makes (or any prompt injection it succombs to) can cause real damage to the user.
In this section, we will use interrupt_before
to pause the graph and return control to the user before executing any of the tools.
Your graph will look something like the following:
As before, start by defining the state:
State & Assistant¶
Our graph state and LLM calling is nearly identical to Part 1 except Exception:
- We've added a
user_info
field that will be eagerly populated by our graph - We can use the state directly in the
Assistant
object rather than using the configurable params

def __call__(self, state: State, config: RunnableConfig):

# If the LLM happens to return an empty response, we will re-prompt it
# for an actual response.
if not result.tool_calls and (
not result.content
or isinstance(result.content, list)
and not result.content[0].get("text")

Define Graph¶
Now, create the graph. Make 2 changes from part 1 to address our previous concerns.
- Add an interrupt before using a tool
- Explicitly populate the user state within the first node so the assistant doesn't have to use a tool just to learn about the user.
from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import MemorySaver
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from langgraph.prebuilt import tools_condition
builder = StateGraph(State)
def user_info(state: State):
return {"user_info": fetch_user_flight_information.invoke({})}
# NEW: The fetch_user_info node runs first, meaning our assistant can see the user's flight information without
# having to take an action
builder.add_node("fetch_user_info", user_info)
builder.add_edge(START, "fetch_user_info")
builder.add_node("assistant", Assistant(part_2_assistant_runnable))
builder.add_node("tools", create_tool_node_with_fallback(part_2_tools))
builder.add_edge("fetch_user_info", "assistant")

Part 2 Review¶
Now our assistant was able to save a step to respond with our flight details. We also completely controlled which actions were performed. This all worked using LangGraph's interrupts
and checkpointers
. The interrupt pauses graph execution, its state safely persisted using your configured checkpointer. The user can then start it up at any time by running it with the right config.
See an example LangSmith trace to get a better sense of how the graph is running. Note from this trace that you typically resume a flow by invoking the graph with (None, config)
. The state is loaded from the checkpoint as if it never was interrupted.
This graph worked pretty well! We didn't really need to be involved in EVERY assistant action, though...
In the next section, we will reorganize our graph so that we can interrupt only on the "sensitive" actions that actually write to the database.
Part 3: Conditional Interrupt¶
In this section, we'll refine our interrupt strategy by categorizing tools as safe (read-only) or sensitive (data-modifying). We'll apply interrupts to the sensitive tools only, allowing the bot to handle simple queries autonomously.
This balances user control and conversational flow, but as we add more tools, our single graph may grow too complex for this "flat" structure. We'll address that in the next section.
Your graph for Part 3 will look something like the following diagram.
State¶
As always, start by defining the graph state. Our state and LLM calling are identical to part 2.

Define Graph¶
Now, create the graph. Our graph is almost identical to part 2 except we split out the tools into 2 separate nodes. We only interrupt before the tools that are actually making changes to the user's bookings.

Part 3 Review¶
Much better! Our agent is now working well - check out a LangSmith trace of our latest run to inspect its work! You may be satisfied with this design. The code is contained, and it's behaving as desired.
One problem with this design is that we're putting a lot of pressure on a single prompt. If we want to add more tools, or if each tool gets more complicated (more filters, more business logic constraining behavior, etc), it's likely the tool usage and overall behavior of the bot will start to suffer.
In the next section, we show how you can take more control over different user experiences by routing to specialist agents or sub-graphs based on the user's intent.
Part 4: Specialized Workflows¶
In the previous sections, we saw how "wide" chat-bots, relying on a single prompt and LLM to handle various user intents, can get us far. However, it's difficult to create predictably great user experiences for known intents with this approach.
Alternatively, your graph can detect userintent and select the appropriate workflow or "skill" to satisfy the user's needs. Each workflow can focus on its domain, allowing for isolated improvements without degrading the overall assistant.
In this section, we'll split user experiences into separate sub-graphs, resulting in a structure like this:
In the diagram above, each square wraps an agentic, focused workflow. The primary assistant fields the user's initial queries, and the graph routes to the appropriate "expert" based on the query content.
State¶
We want to keep track of which sub-graph is in control at any given moment. While we could do this through some arithmetic on the message list, it's easier to track as a dedicated stack.
Add a dialog_state
list to the State
below. Any time a node
is run and returns a value for dialog_state
, the update_dialog_stack
function will be called to determine how to apply the update.
from typing import Annotated, Literal, Optional
from typing_extensions import TypedDict
from langgraph.graph.message import AnyMessage, add_messages
def update_dialog_stack(left: list[str], right: Optional[str]) -> list[str]:
"""Push or pop the state."""
if right is None:
return left
if right == "pop":
return left[:-1]
return left + [right]
class State(TypedDict):
messages: Annotated[list[AnyMessage], add_messages]
user_info: str
dialog_state: Annotated[
list[
Literal[
"assistant",
"update_flight",
"book_car_rental",
"book_hotel",
"book_excursion",
]
],
update_dialog_stack,
]
Assistants¶
This time we will create an assistant for every workflow. That means:
- Flight booking assistant
- Hotel booking assistant
- Car rental assistant
- Excursion assistant
- and finally, a "primary assistant" to route between these
If you're paying attention, you may recognize this as an example of the supervisor design pattern from our Multi-agent examples.
Below, define the Runnable
objects to power each assistant.
Each Runnable
has a prompt, LLM, and schemas for the tools scoped to that assistant.
Each specialized / delegated assistant additionally can call the CompleteOrEscalate
tool to indicate that the control flow should be passed back to the primary assistant. This happens if it has successfully completed its work or if the user has changed their mind or needs assistance on something that beyond the scope of that particular workflow.
