ChatOpenAI is a LangChain class that provides an interface to OpenAI chat language models.
- How it is used
- Supplies the OpenAI chat model used by an assistant node in a LangGraph chatbot.
- How deep it goes
- Shows model construction and invocation inside working graph and chatbot examples, without detailing ChatOpenAI internals.
- Examples
- Uses a one-node command-line chatbot and a Streamlit chatbot that displays the model’s reply.
- What you can do after
- Apply it via LangChain and LangGraph to generate a chatbot reply from a list of messages.
