Agentics
The Agentics components are deprecated and can't run in this version of Langflow, because the agentics-py SDK they depend on can't be installed alongside Langflow.
For details, see Compatibility.
Don't run pip install agentics-py or uv pip install agentics-py in your Langflow environment.
The install succeeds, but it downgrades langchain-core and other packages below the versions Langflow requires, and Langflow stops working.
The Agentics component bundle uses LLMs to transform tabular data. Add or fill columns row-by-row with the aMap component, collapse many rows into one with aReduce component, or generate synthetic rows with the aGenerate component.
Watch it in action with a sentiment analysis example that transforms customer reviews into structured insights:
Compatibility
The Agentics components need the agentics-py SDK at runtime, and no agentics-py release can be installed in the same Python environment as Langflow 1.9 or later:
- The latest release,
agentics-py0.3.6, requireslangchain-coreearlier than 1.0 through itslangchain-huggingfacedependency. Langflow requireslangchain-core1.x. agentics-pydepends oncrewai, and everycrewairelease since 0.140.0 pinsjson-repairortomlibelow the versions Langflow requires.- Earlier
agentics-pyreleases have the same conflicts, or they fail when imported.
When you run an Agentics component, it stops with an error that links to this page. Flows that contain Agentics components still open, so you can inspect the components and their settings.
The Agentics components are legacy components, so they are hidden in the visual editor by default.
To show them, click Component settings, and then turn on the Legacy filter.
If a compatible agentics-py release becomes available, the components can return to supported status. Otherwise, they can be removed in a future release.
The Agentics components also require an LLM. Supported providers include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Generative AI, IBM WatsonX, and Ollama.
aGenerate component
aGenerate generates synthetic data from a schema or from an example DataFrame. Use it for test data, augmentation, or documentation examples.
For example, this schema definition creates the following DataFrame output:
Schema definition:
customer_name(str): Full nameemail(str): Email addressage(int): Age between 18–80purchase_categories(str, As List): List of product categories purchased
Output DataFrame (example, 10 rows generated):
| customer_name | age | purchase_categories | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sarah Johnson | sarah.j@email.com | 34 | Electronics, Books, Home & Garden |
| Michael Chen | m.chen@email.com | 28 | Sports, Clothing, Electronics |
| ... | ... | ... | ... |
Parameters
Some parameters are hidden by default in the visual editor. You can modify all component parameters through the component inspection panel that appears when you select a component.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Language Model | Dropdown | Select the LLM provider and model. Use guided experience. |
| Input DataFrame | Table | Optional. Example DataFrame to learn from; only first 50 rows used. If not provided, Schema is used. |
| Schema | Table | Define columns to generate when no Input DataFrame is provided. See the component's schema definition. |
| Instructions | String | Optional instructions for generation. Hidden by default in the visual editor. |
| Number of Rows to Generate | Integer | How many synthetic rows to create. Default: 10. |
aMap component
aMap transforms each row of input data using natural language instructions and a defined output schema (one row in, one row out). Use aMap for enriching data with LLM-generated columns such as sentiment, categories, and entity extraction.
Rows are processed concurrently; default batch size is 10. Token usage scales with number of rows.
For example, aMap keeps each input row and fills in sentiment, confidence, and key_topics with the connected LLM.
Input DataFrame:
| review_id | text |
|---|---|
| 1 | Great product, fast shipping! |
| 2 | Terrible quality, broke after one use |
Schema definition:
sentiment(str): "positive", "negative", or "neutral"confidence(float): Confidence score 0–1key_topics(str, As List): Main topics mentioned
Output DataFrame:
| review_id | text | sentiment | confidence | key_topics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Great product, fast shipping! | positive | 0.95 | product quality, shipping |
| 2 | Terrible quality, broke after one use | negative | 0.92 | quality, durability |
Parameters
Some parameters are hidden by default in the visual editor. You can modify all component parameters through the component inspection panel that appears when you select a component.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Language Model | Dropdown | Select the LLM provider and model. Use guided experience. |
| Input DataFrame | Table | Input DataFrame (list of dicts or DataFrame). Each row is processed independently. |
| Schema | Table | Define the structure and types for generated columns. See the component's schema definition. |
| Instructions | String | Natural language instructions for transforming each row into the output schema. |
| As List | Boolean | If true, generate multiple instances of the schema per row and concatenate. |
| Keep Source Columns | Boolean | If true, append new columns to original data; if false, return only generated columns. Ignored if As List is true. Default: true. |
aReduce component
aReduce aggregates all rows in the input DataFrame into a single row following the output schema.
Use aReduce for summaries, reports, or consolidated insights.
To aggregate rows into a list, set As List to true in the component.
All rows are sent in one request; token usage can be high for large DataFrames. Consider filtering or sampling first.
For example, aReduce takes all input rows and produces a single row with LLM-generated aggregates.
It sums revenue into total_revenue, identifies the best-selling product in best_selling_product, and writes a short summary of the sales.
Input DataFrame:
| date | product | revenue | units |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-01-01 | Widget A | 1200 | 50 |
| 2024-01-02 | Widget B | 800 | 30 |
| 2024-01-03 | Widget A | 1500 | 60 |
Schema definition:
total_revenue(float): Sum of all revenuebest_selling_product(str): Product with highest unitssummary(str): Natural language summary
Output DataFrame:
| total_revenue | best_selling_product | summary |
|---|---|---|
| 3500 | Widget A | Over 3 days, Widget A was the best seller with 110 units, generating $2700 in revenue. |
Parameters
Some parameters are hidden by default in the visual editor. You can modify all component parameters through the component inspection panel that appears when you select a component.
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Language Model | Dropdown | Select the LLM provider and model. |
| Input DataFrame | Table | Input DataFrame (list of dicts or DataFrame). Required. |
| Schema | Table | Define the structure and types for the aggregated output. See the component's schema definition. |
| As List | Boolean | If true, output is a list of instances of the schema. |
| Instructions | String | Optional instructions for aggregation. If omitted, the LLM infers from field descriptions. |
Performance and troubleshooting
- Token usage: aMap scales with rows; aReduce sends all rows in one call; aGenerate scales with instances. Use smaller batches or sample large datasets to reduce cost.
- Batch size: Default 10; max 25. Larger batches improve throughput but increase latency per batch.
- Errors: If a component reports that
agentics-pyisn't available, see Compatibility. Don't installagentics-pyinto your Langflow environment. For API/key errors, set the provider’s API key as a global variable or env var. For DataFrame errors, ensure input is a list of dicts or use a DataFrame component output.
