Why AI Engineers Are Moving Beyond LangChain to Native Agent Architectures

# Why Companies Are Ditching Popular AI Tools for Custom-Built Systems As AI applications move from experiments to real business use, companies are abandoning the shortcuts they used to build AI quickly and instead creating their own systems from scratch.

Building custom solutions takes more time upfront but gives companies the control and performance they need to run AI reliably in production.
