Currently, Graph only exposes a .launch() method, which is great for interactive and UI-based workflows (e.g. Gradio apps). However, this design limits the use of Graph in programmatic, server-side, and API-driven contexts.
This issue proposes introducing a .invoke() method, similar to how LangGraph works, enabling graphs to be executed as pure functions and easily exposed as APIs.
Motivation
Many real-world use cases require graphs to be:
Executed headlessly (without UI)
Integrated into REST / FastAPI / serverless APIs
Used in pipelines, backends, or microservices
Composable and callable like regular Python functions
