πŸš€ Quick Start

Installation

pip install 'crewai>=0.152.0'
pip install 'crewai[tools]'  # With built-in tools

Your First Crew

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

# Create agent
researcher = Agent(
    role="Research Analyst",
    goal="Find accurate information",
    backstory="Expert researcher with strong analytical skills",
    verbose=True
)

# Create task
research_task = Task(
    description="Research the latest trends in {topic}",
    expected_output="Summary of top 5 trends",
    agent=researcher
)

# Create crew
crew = Crew(
    agents=[researcher],
    tasks=[research_task],
    verbose=True
)

# Run
result = crew.kickoff(inputs={"topic": "artificial intelligence"})
print(result.raw)

🎯 Key Features Covered

Multi-Agent Orchestration

  • Role-based agent design with specialized expertise
  • Task coordination and dependency management
  • Sequential, parallel, and hierarchical execution modes

Flow-Based Workflows

  • State management with Pydantic models
  • Event-driven execution with @start, @listen, @router
  • Conditional routing and human-in-the-loop patterns
  • Retry loops and error handling

Configuration Management

  • YAML-based agent and task definitions
  • Variable interpolation in configurations
  • Environment-based configuration
  • Reusable crew templates

Tool Ecosystem

  • Built-in tools (SerperDevTool, ScrapeWebsiteTool, etc.)
  • Custom tool development (BaseTool pattern)
  • External API integrations (SEC, Exa, Google, etc.)
  • LangChain tool decorator support

Advanced Patterns

  • Async execution for parallel tasks
  • Context chaining for task dependencies
  • Structured output with Pydantic validation
  • Training system for iterative improvement
  • Self-evaluation loops for quality assurance
