Issue Content

Currently there's a bunch of tools and other integrations that use initialize_agent in their docs page (search langchain/docs for "initialize_agent")

This function has been deprecated since 0.1 and should be replaced with basic langgraph usage as a demo

Deprecated function: https://python.langchain.com/api_reference/langchain/agents/langchain.agents.initialize.initialize_agent.html

Example page using create_react_agent in an example: https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools/gmail/#use-within-an-agent

This issue doesn't need to be resolved by a single PR and can be tackled incrementally! Just tag this issue for tracking purposes :)

I want to try working on this

@efriis do you expect the changes in the documentation for the tools and integrations using `initialize_agent' listed at the bottom of the page you shared?

Such as:
AINetwork Toolkit

AWS Lambda

Hi everyone,

I’ve partially updated the documentation to replace deprecated references to initialize_agent with langgraph.prebuilt.create_react_agent. Specifically:

• I addressed the instances for page 1 of 3 in the search:
  repo:langchain-ai/langchain path:/^docs\// initialize_agent.
• I plan to work on pages 2 and 3 shortly to complete the updates.

Additionally, I noticed a recurring pattern in examples, such as:

agent.run("what is google's stock")

This doesn't inherently print the output of the agent.run command, and I considered adding something like:

response = agent.run("what is google's stock")
print(response)

to improve clarity for users. However, as this is my first commit, I didn’t want to overstep the scope without further guidance. Let me know if you’d like me to include such improvements!

Looking forward to completing the remaining pages soon.

If no one is working on this issue , can I work on this ?

I noticed that some parts of the documentation still reference initialize_agent.
Would it be alright if I take over and help with the remaining updates?
