Usage Example
if __name__ == "__main__":

result = workflow.invoke({"input": "Test Pool", "output": "", "metadata": {}})
print(f"\n=== Pool Pattern ===\nOutput: {result['output'][:200]}...")
Key Concepts
- State Management: Uses TypedDict to maintain workflow state
- Graph-Based Flow: LangGraph orchestrates execution flow
- Agent Functions: Each node processes and updates state
- LLM Integration: Uses ChatOpenAI for intelligent processing
Pattern Benefits
