What problem does it solve?
CrewAI removes the complexity of building and running multi-agent collaborations by providing a lightweight framework to coordinate role-based agents, pass context between tasks, and observe outputs reliably.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Role-based Agents: Define narrow agent roles (Researcher, Writer, Analyst) with explicit goals and backstories to improve specialization and reliability.
- Process Modes: Support sequential and hierarchical execution for predictable pipelines or manager-delegated workflows.
- Memory & Observability: Short-term and long-term memory, tracing, and token usage reporting for production workflows.
- Tool Integrations: Built-in tools for web search, scraping, document handling, databases, and AI services to extend agent capabilities.
- Use Case: Automate a research-to-draft pipeline where a Researcher fetches findings, then a Writer composes a structured summary using chained task outputs.
Quick Start
Run a two-agent sequential crew where a Researcher finds five key trends about AI agents and a Writer summarizes those findings into a short memo.
