Graph-based orchestration is the convergence point. Whether it’s LangGraph’s explicit graphs, AutoGen’s conversation graphs, or Google ADK’s workflow graphs — every framework is moving toward graph-based state management.

LangGraph models your agent as a state graph — nodes for actions, edges for transitions. Sounds academic until you’re debugging why your agent went off the rails.\n\nHere’s the difference.
