+## Adding LiteAgent to Flows
+
+LiteAgents can be seamlessly integrated into your flows, providing a lightweight alternative to full Crews when you need simpler, focused task execution. Here's an example of how to use a LiteAgent within a flow to perform market research:
+
+```python
+from typing import List, cast
+from crewai_tools.tools.website_search.website_search_tool import WebsiteSearchTool
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start

+
+# Define a structured output format
+class MarketAnalysis(BaseModel):
+    key_trends: List[str] = Field(description="List of identified market trends")
+    market_size: str = Field(description="Estimated market size")
+    competitors: List[str] = Field(description="Major competitors in the space")
+
+# Define flow state
+class MarketResearchState(BaseModel):
+    product: str = ""
+    analysis: MarketAnalysis | None = None
+

+            return
+
+        print("\nMarket Analysis Results")
+        print("=====================")
+
+        print("\nKey Market Trends:")
+        for trend in analysis.key_trends:
+            print(f"- {trend}")
+
+        print(f"\nMarket Size: {analysis.market_size}")
+
+        print("\nMajor Competitors:")
+        for competitor in analysis.competitors:
+            print(f"- {competitor}")
+
+# Usage example
+flow = MarketResearchFlow()
+result = flow.kickoff(inputs={"product": "AI-powered chatbots"})
+```
+
+This example demonstrates several key features of using LiteAgents in flows:
+
+1. **Structured Output**: Using Pydantic models to define the expected output format (`MarketAnalysis`) ensures type safety and structured data throughout the flow.
+
+2. **State Management**: The flow state (`MarketResearchState`) maintains context between steps and stores both inputs and outputs.
+
+3. **Tool Integration**: LiteAgents can use tools (like `WebsiteSearchTool`) to enhance their capabilities.

+title: LiteAgent
+description: A lightweight, single-purpose agent for simple autonomous tasks within the CrewAI framework.
+icon: feather
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+A `LiteAgent` is a streamlined version of CrewAI's Agent, designed for simpler, standalone tasks that don't require the full complexity of a crew-based workflow. It's perfect for quick automations, single-purpose tasks, or when you need a lightweight solution.
+
+<Tip>
+  Think of a LiteAgent as a specialized worker that excels at individual tasks.
+  While regular Agents are team players in a crew, LiteAgents are solo
+  performers optimized for specific operations.
+</Tip>
+
+## LiteAgent Attributes
+
+| Attribute                        | Parameter         | Type                   | Description                                                     |
+| :------------------------------- | :---------------- | :--------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Role**                         | `role`            | `str`                  | Defines the agent's function and expertise.                     |
+| **Goal**                         | `goal`            | `str`                  | The specific objective that guides the agent's actions.         |
+| **Backstory**                    | `backstory`       | `str`                  | Provides context and personality to the agent.                  |
+| **LLM** _(optional)_             | `llm`             | `Union[str, LLM, Any]` | Language model powering the agent. Defaults to "gpt-4".         |
+| **Tools** _(optional)_           | `tools`           | `List[BaseTool]`       | Capabilities available to the agent. Defaults to an empty list. |
+| **Verbose** _(optional)_         | `verbose`         | `bool`                 | Enable detailed execution logs. Default is False.               |
+| **Response Format** _(optional)_ | `response_format` | `Type[BaseModel]`      | Pydantic model for structured output. Optional.                 |
+
+## Creating a LiteAgent
+
+Here's a simple example of creating and using a standalone LiteAgent:
+
+```python
+from typing import List, cast
+
+from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
+
+from crewai.lite_agent import LiteAgent
+
+
+# Define a structured output format
+class MovieReview(BaseModel):
+    title: str = Field(description="The title of the movie")
+    rating: float = Field(description="Rating out of 10")
+    pros: List[str] = Field(description="List of positive aspects")
+    cons: List[str] = Field(description="List of negative aspects")
+
+
+# Create a LiteAgent
+critic = LiteAgent(
+    role="Movie Critic",
+    goal="Provide insightful movie reviews",
+    backstory="You are an experienced film critic known for balanced, thoughtful reviews.",
+    tools=[SerperDevTool()],
+    verbose=True,
+    response_format=MovieReview,
+)
+
+# Use the agent
+query = """
+Review the movie 'Inception'. Include:
+1. Your rating out of 10
+2. Key positive aspects
+3. Areas that could be improved
+"""
+
+result = critic.kickoff(query)
+
+
+# Access the structured output
+review = cast(MovieReview, result.pydantic)
+print(f"\nMovie Review: {review.title}")
+print(f"Rating: {review.rating}/10")
+print("\nPros:")
+for pro in review.pros:
+    print(f"- {pro}")
+print("\nCons:")
+for con in review.cons:
+    print(f"- {con}")
+
+```
+
+This example demonstrates the core features of a LiteAgent:
+
+- Structured output using Pydantic models
+- Tool integration with WebSearchTool
+- Simple execution with `kickoff()`
+- Easy access to both raw and structured results
+
+## Using LiteAgent in a Flow
+
+For more complex scenarios, you can integrate LiteAgents into a Flow. Here's an example of a market research flow:
+
+````python
+from typing import List
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, start, listen
+from crewai.lite_agent import LiteAgent
+from crewai.tools import WebSearchTool
+
+# Define a structured output format
+class MarketAnalysis(BaseModel):
+    key_trends: List[str] = Field(description="List of identified market trends")
+    market_size: str = Field(description="Estimated market size")
+    competitors: List[str] = Field(description="Major competitors in the space")
+
+# Define flow state
+class MarketResearchState(BaseModel):
+    product: str = ""
+    analysis: MarketAnalysis = None
+
+# Create a flow class
+class MarketResearchFlow(Flow[MarketResearchState]):
+    @start()
+    def initialize_research(self, product: str):
+        print(f"Starting market research for {product}")
+        self.state.product = product
+
+    @listen(initialize_research)
+    async def analyze_market(self):
+        # Create a LiteAgent for market research
+        analyst = LiteAgent(
+            role="Market Research Analyst",
+            goal=f"Analyze the market for {self.state.product}",
+            backstory="You are an experienced market analyst with expertise in "
+                     "identifying market trends and opportunities.",
+            tools=[WebSearchTool()],
+            verbose=True,
+            response_format=MarketAnalysis
+        )
+
+        # Define the research query
+        query = f"""
+        Research the market for {self.state.product}. Include:
+        1. Key market trends
+        2. Market size
+        3. Major competitors
+
+        Format your response according to the specified structure.
+        """
+
+        # Execute the analysis
+        result = await analyst.kickoff_async(query)
+        self.state.analysis = result.pydantic
+        return result.pydantic
+
+    @listen(analyze_market)
+    def present_results(self):
+        analysis = self.state.analysis
+        print("\nMarket Analysis Results")
+        print("=====================")
+
+        print("\nKey Market Trends:")
+        for trend in analysis.key_trends:
+            print(f"- {trend}")
+
+        print(f"\nMarket Size: {analysis.market_size}")
+
+        print("\nMajor Competitors:")
+        for competitor in analysis.competitors:
+            print(f"- {competitor}")
+
+# Usage example
+import asyncio
+
+async def run_flow():
+    flow = MarketResearchFlow()
+    result = await flow.kickoff(inputs={"product": "AI-powered chatbots"})
+    return result
+
+# Run the flow
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    asyncio.run(run_flow())
+
+## Key Features
+
+### 1. Simplified Setup
+Unlike regular Agents, LiteAgents are designed for quick setup and standalone operation. They don't require crew configuration or task management.
+
+### 2. Structured Output
+LiteAgents support Pydantic models for response formatting, making it easy to get structured, type-safe data from your agent's operations.
+
+### 3. Tool Integration
+Just like regular Agents, LiteAgents can use tools to enhance their capabilities:
+```python
+from crewai.tools import SerperDevTool, CalculatorTool
+
+agent = LiteAgent(
+    role="Research Assistant",
+    goal="Find and analyze information",
+    tools=[SerperDevTool(), CalculatorTool()],
+    verbose=True
+)
+````
+
+### 4. Async Support
+
+LiteAgents support asynchronous execution through the `kickoff_async` method, making them suitable for non-blocking operations in your application.
+
+## Response Formatting
+
+LiteAgents support structured output through Pydantic models using the `response_format` parameter. This feature ensures type safety and consistent output structure, making it easier to work with agent responses in your application.
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```python
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
+
+class SearchResult(BaseModel):
+    title: str = Field(description="The title of the found content")
+    summary: str = Field(description="A brief summary of the content")
+    relevance_score: float = Field(description="Relevance score from 0 to 1")
+
+agent = LiteAgent(
+    role="Search Specialist",
+    goal="Find and summarize relevant information",
+    response_format=SearchResult
+)
+
+result = await agent.kickoff_async("Find information about quantum computing")
+print(f"Title: {result.pydantic.title}")
+print(f"Summary: {result.pydantic.summary}")
+print(f"Relevance: {result.pydantic.relevance_score}")
+```
+
+### Handling Responses
+
+When using `response_format`, the agent's response will be available in two forms:
+
+1. **Raw Response**: Access the unstructured string response
+
+   ```python
+   result = await agent.kickoff_async("Analyze the market")
+   print(result.raw)  # Original LLM response
+   ```
+
+2. **Structured Response**: Access the parsed Pydantic model
+   ```python
+   print(result.pydantic)  # Parsed response as Pydantic model
+   print(result.pydantic.dict())  # Convert to dictionary
+   ```
