It caches AI agent operations in Valkey (or Redis) so you don't repeat expensive work.
Three tiers: if your agent calls gpt-4o with the same prompt twice, the second call returns from Valkey in under 1ms instead of hitting the API. Same for tool calls - if your agent calls get_weather("Sofia") twice with the same arguments, the cached result comes back instantly. And session state (what step the agent is on, user intent, LangGraph checkpoints) persists across requests with per-field TTL.
The main difference from existing options is that LangChain's cache only handles LLM responses, LangGraph's checkpoint-redis only handles state (and requires Redis 8 + modules), and none of them ship OpenTelemetry or Prometheus instrumentation at the cache layer. This puts all three tiers behind one Valkey connection with observability built in.
when you say "same prompt" are you saying its similar prompt and something in the middle determines that "this is basically the same question" or is it looking for someone who for whatever reason prompted, then copied and pasted that prompt and prompted it again word for word?
Can you explain what this does?
