 # What is CrewAI?
 
-**CrewAI is a cutting-edge framework for orchestrating autonomous AI agents.**
+**CrewAI is a lean, lightning-fast Python framework built entirely from scratch—completely independent of LangChain or other agent frameworks.**
 
-CrewAI enables you to create AI teams where each agent has specific roles, tools, and goals, working together to accomplish complex tasks.
+CrewAI empowers developers with both high-level simplicity and precise low-level control, ideal for creating autonomous AI agents tailored to any scenario:
 
-Think of it as assembling your dream team - each member (agent) brings unique skills and expertise, collaborating seamlessly to achieve your objectives.
+- **CrewAI Crews**: Optimize for autonomy and collaborative intelligence, enabling you to create AI teams where each agent has specific roles, tools, and goals.
+- **CrewAI Flows**: Enable granular, event-driven control, single LLM calls for precise task orchestration and supports Crews natively.
 
-## How CrewAI Works
+With over 100,000 developers certified through our community courses, CrewAI is rapidly becoming the standard for enterprise-ready AI automation.
+
+## How Crews Work
 
 <Note>
   Just like a company has departments (Sales, Engineering, Marketing) working together under leadership to achieve business goals, CrewAI helps you create an organization of AI agents with specialized roles collaborating to accomplish complex tasks.

+## How Flows Work
+
+<Note>
+  While Crews excel at autonomous collaboration, Flows provide structured automations, offering granular control over workflow execution. Flows ensure tasks are executed reliably, securely, and efficiently, handling conditional logic, loops, and dynamic state management with precision. Flows integrate seamlessly with Crews, enabling you to balance high autonomy with exacting control.

+## When to Use Crews vs. Flows
+
+<Note>
+  Understanding when to use Crews versus Flows is key to maximizing the potential of CrewAI in your applications.
+</Note>
+
+| Use Case | Recommended Approach | Why? |
+|:---------|:---------------------|:-----|
+| **Open-ended research** | Crews | When tasks require creative thinking, exploration, and adaptation |
+| **Content generation** | Crews | For collaborative creation of articles, reports, or marketing materials |
+| **Decision workflows** | Flows | When you need predictable, auditable decision paths with precise control |
+| **API orchestration** | Flows | For reliable integration with multiple external services in a specific sequence |
+| **Hybrid applications** | Combined approach | Use Flows to orchestrate overall process with Crews handling complex subtasks |
+
+### Decision Framework
+
+- **Choose Crews when:** You need autonomous problem-solving, creative collaboration, or exploratory tasks
+- **Choose Flows when:** You require deterministic outcomes, auditability, or precise control over execution
+- **Combine both when:** Your application needs both structured processes and pockets of autonomous intelligence
+
 ## Why Choose CrewAI?
 
 - 🧠 **Autonomous Operation**: Agents make intelligent decisions based on their roles and available tools
 - 📝 **Natural Interaction**: Agents communicate and collaborate like human team members
 - 🛠️ **Extensible Design**: Easy to add new tools, roles, and capabilities
 - 🚀 **Production Ready**: Built for reliability and scalability in real-world applications
+- 🔒 **Security-Focused**: Designed with enterprise security requirements in mind
+- 💰 **Cost-Efficient**: Optimized to minimize token usage and API calls
