# Arize Phoenix Integration
This guide demonstrates how to integrate **Arize Phoenix** with **CrewAI** using OpenTelemetry via the [OpenInference](https://github.com/openinference/openinference) SDK. By the end of this guide, you will be able to trace your CrewAI agents and easily debug your agents.
> **What is Arize Phoenix?** [Arize Phoenix](https://phoenix.arize.com) is an LLM observability platform that provides tracing and evaluation for AI applications.
[![Watch a Video Demo of Our Integration with Phoenix](https://storage.googleapis.com/arize-assets/fixtures/setup_crewai.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc5q3l6F7Ww)
## Get Started
We'll walk through a simple example of using CrewAI and integrating it with Arize Phoenix via OpenTelemetry using OpenInference.
You can also access this guide on [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Arize-ai/phoenix/blob/main/tutorials/tracing/crewai_tracing_tutorial.ipynb).
### Step 1: Install Dependencies
```bash
pip install openinference-instrumentation-crewai crewai crewai-tools arize-phoenix-otel
```
### Step 2: Set Up Environment Variables
Setup Phoenix Cloud API keys and configure OpenTelemetry to send traces to Phoenix. Phoenix Cloud is a hosted version of Arize Phoenix, but it is not required to use this integration.
You can get your free Serper API key [here](https://serper.dev/).
```python
import os
from getpass import getpass
# Get your Phoenix Cloud credentials
PHOENIX_API_KEY = getpass("🔑 Enter your Phoenix Cloud API Key: ")
# Get API keys for services
OPENAI_API_KEY = getpass("🔑 Enter your OpenAI API key: ")
SERPER_API_KEY = getpass("🔑 Enter your Serper API key: ")
# Set environment variables
os.environ["PHOENIX_CLIENT_HEADERS"] = f"api_key={PHOENIX_API_KEY}"
os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "https://app.phoenix.arize.com" # Phoenix Cloud, change this to your own endpoint if you are using a self-hosted instance
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = OPENAI_API_KEY
os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = SERPER_API_KEY
```
### Step 3: Initialize OpenTelemetry with Phoenix
Initialize the OpenInference OpenTelemetry instrumentation SDK to start capturing traces and send them to Phoenix.
```python
from phoenix.otel import register
tracer_provider = register(
project_name="crewai-tracing-demo",
auto_instrument=True,
)
```
### Step 4: Create a CrewAI Application
We'll create a CrewAI application where two agents collaborate to research and write a blog post about AI advancements.
```python
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
from openinference.instrumentation.crewai import CrewAIInstrumentor
from phoenix.otel import register
# setup monitoring for your crew
tracer_provider = register(
endpoint="http://localhost:6006/v1/traces")
CrewAIInstrumentor().instrument(skip_dep_check=True, tracer_provider=tracer_provider)
search_tool = SerperDevTool()
# Define your agents with roles and goals
researcher = Agent(
role="Senior Research Analyst",
goal="Uncover cutting-edge developments in AI and data science",
backstory="""You work at a leading tech think tank.
Your expertise lies in identifying emerging trends.
You have a knack for dissecting complex data and presenting actionable insights.""",
verbose=True,
allow_delegation=False,
# You can pass an optional llm attribute specifying what model you wanna use.
# llm=ChatOpenAI(model_name="gpt-3.5", temperature=0.7),
tools=[search_tool],
)
writer = Agent(
role="Tech Content Strategist",
goal="Craft compelling content on tech advancements",
backstory="""You are a renowned Content Strategist, known for your insightful and engaging articles.
You transform complex concepts into compelling narratives.""",
verbose=True,
allow_delegation=True,
)
# Create tasks for your agents
task1 = Task(
description="""Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the latest advancements in AI in 2024.
Identify key trends, breakthrough technologies, and potential industry impacts.""",
expected_output="Full analysis report in bullet points",
agent=researcher,
)
task2 = Task(
description="""Using the insights provided, develop an engaging blog
post that highlights the most significant AI advancements.
Your post should be informative yet accessible, catering to a tech-savvy audience.
Make it sound cool, avoid complex words so it doesn't sound like AI.""",
expected_output="Full blog post of at least 4 paragraphs",
agent=writer,
)
# Instantiate your crew with a sequential process
crew = Crew(
agents=[researcher, writer], tasks=[task1, task2], verbose=1, process=Process.sequential
)
# Get your crew to work!
result = crew.kickoff()
print("######################")
print(result)
```
### Step 5: View Traces in Phoenix
After running the agent, you can view the traces generated by your CrewAI application in Phoenix. You should see detailed steps of the agent interactions and LLM calls, which can help you debug and optimize your AI agents.
Log into your Phoenix Cloud account and navigate to the project you specified in the `project_name` parameter. You'll see a timeline view of your trace with all the agent interactions, tool usages, and LLM calls.

Check this Google Colab Notebook for a quick reference - [Notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ZKIZWsmgQQ46n8TH9zLsT1negKkJA6K8?usp=sharing)
## Viewing Your Traces
After running your CrewAI application:
![Example trace in Maxim showing agent interactions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maximhq/maxim-docs/master/images/Screenshot2025-05-14at12.10.58PM.png)
1. Log in to your [Maxim Dashboard](https://getmaxim.ai/dashboard)
2. Navigate to your repository
3. View detailed agent traces, including:
- Agent conversations
- Tool usage patterns
- Performance metrics
- Cost analytics
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
- **No traces appearing**: Ensure your API key and repository ID are correc
- Ensure you've **called `instrument_crewai()`** ***before*** running your crew. This initializes logging hooks correctly.
- Set `debug=True` in your `instrument_crewai()` call to surface any internal errors:
```python
instrument_crewai(logger, debug=True)
```
- Configure your agents with `verbose=True` to capture detailed logs:
```python
agent = CrewAgent(..., verbose=True)
```
- Double-check that `instrument_crewai()` is called **before** creating or executing agents. This might be obvious, but it's a common oversight.
### Support
If you encounter any issues:
- Check the [Maxim Documentation](https://getmaxim.ai/docs)
- Maxim Github [Link](https://github.com/maximhq)

# Opik Overview
With [Comet Opik](https://www.comet.com/docs/opik/), debug, evaluate, and monitor your LLM applications, RAG systems, and agentic workflows with comprehensive tracing, automated evaluations, and production-ready dashboards.
<Frame caption="Opik Agent Dashboard">
<img src="/images/opik-crewai-dashboard.png" alt="Opik agent monitoring example with CrewAI" />
</Frame>
Opik provides comprehensive support for every stage of your CrewAI application development:
- **Log Traces and Spans**: Automatically track LLM calls and application logic to debug and analyze development and production systems. Manually or programmatically annotate, view, and compare responses across projects.
- **Evaluate Your LLM Application's Performance**: Evaluate against a custom test set and run built-in evaluation metrics or define your own metrics in the SDK or UI.
- **Test Within Your CI/CD Pipeline**: Establish reliable performance baselines with Opik's LLM unit tests, built on PyTest. Run online evaluations for continuous monitoring in production.
- **Monitor & Analyze Production Data**: Understand your models' performance on unseen data in production and generate datasets for new dev iterations.
## Setup
Comet provides a hosted version of the Opik platform, or you can run the platform locally.
To use the hosted version, simply [create a free Comet account](https://www.comet.com/signup?utm_medium=github&utm_source=crewai_docs) and grab you API Key.
To run the Opik platform locally, see our [installation guide](https://www.comet.com/docs/opik/self-host/overview/) for more information.
For this guide we will use CrewAIs quickstart example.
<Steps>
<Step title="Install required packages">
```shell
pip install crewai crewai-tools opik --upgrade
```
</Step>
<Step title="Configure Opik">
```python
import opik
opik.configure(use_local=False)
```
</Step>
<Step title="Prepare environment">
First, we set up our API keys for our LLM-provider as environment variables:
```python
import os
import getpass
if "OPENAI_API_KEY" not in os.environ:
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter your OpenAI API key: ")
```
</Step>
<Step title="Using CrewAI">
The first step is to create our project. We will use an example from CrewAIs documentation:
```python
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task, Process
class YourCrewName:
def agent_one(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
role="Data Analyst",
goal="Analyze data trends in the market",
backstory="An experienced data analyst with a background in economics",
verbose=True,
)
def agent_two(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
role="Market Researcher",
goal="Gather information on market dynamics",
backstory="A diligent researcher with a keen eye for detail",
verbose=True,
)
def task_one(self) -> Task:
return Task(
name="Collect Data Task",
description="Collect recent market data and identify trends.",
expected_output="A report summarizing key trends in the market.",
agent=self.agent_one(),
)
def task_two(self) -> Task:
return Task(
name="Market Research Task",
description="Research factors affecting market dynamics.",
expected_output="An analysis of factors influencing the market.",
agent=self.agent_two(),
)
def crew(self) -> Crew:
return Crew(
agents=[self.agent_one(), self.agent_two()],
tasks=[self.task_one(), self.task_two()],
process=Process.sequential,
verbose=True,
)
```
Now we can import Opiks tracker and run our crew:
```python
from opik.integrations.crewai import track_crewai
track_crewai(project_name="crewai-integration-demo")
my_crew = YourCrewName().crew()
result = my_crew.kickoff()
print(result)
```
After running your CrewAI application, visit the Opik app to view:
- LLM traces, spans, and their metadata
- Agent interactions and task execution flow
- Performance metrics like latency and token usage
- Evaluation metrics (built-in or custom)
</Step>

<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/main/Portkey-CrewAI.png" alt="Portkey CrewAI Header Image" width="70%" />
## Introduction
Portkey enhances CrewAI with production-readiness features, turning your experimental agent crews into robust systems by providing:
- **Complete observability** of every agent step, tool use, and interaction
- **Built-in reliability** with fallbacks, retries, and load balancing
- **Cost tracking and optimization** to manage your AI spend
- **Access to 200+ LLMs** through a single integration
- **Guardrails** to keep agent behavior safe and compliant
- **Version-controlled prompts** for consistent agent performance
### Installation & Setup
<Steps>
<Step title="Install the required packages">
```bash
pip install -U crewai portkey-ai
```
</Step>
<Step title="Generate API Key" icon="lock">
Create a Portkey API key with optional budget/rate limits from the [Portkey dashboard](https://app.portkey.ai/). You can also attach configurations for reliability, caching, and more to this key. More on this later.
</Step>
<Step title="Configure CrewAI with Portkey">
The integration is simple - you just need to update the LLM configuration in your CrewAI setup:
```python
from crewai import LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
# Create an LLM instance with Portkey integration
gpt_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy", # We are using a Virtual key, so this is a placeholder
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
virtual_key="YOUR_LLM_VIRTUAL_KEY",
trace_id="unique-trace-id", # Optional, for request tracing
)
)
#Use them in your Crew Agents like this:
@agent
def lead_market_analyst(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config['lead_market_analyst'],
verbose=True,
memory=False,
llm=gpt_llm
)
```
<Info>
**What are Virtual Keys?** Virtual keys in Portkey securely store your LLM provider API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) in an encrypted vault. They allow for easier key rotation and budget management. [Learn more about virtual keys here](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys).
</Info>
</Step>
</Steps>
## Production Features
### 1. Enhanced Observability
Portkey provides comprehensive observability for your CrewAI agents, helping you understand exactly what's happening during each execution.
<Tabs>
<Tab title="Traces">
<Frame>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/refs/heads/main/CrewAI%20Product%2011.1.webp"/>
</Frame>
Traces provide a hierarchical view of your crew's execution, showing the sequence of LLM calls, tool invocations, and state transitions.
```python
# Add trace_id to enable hierarchical tracing in Portkey
portkey_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy",
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
virtual_key="YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY",
trace_id="unique-session-id" # Add unique trace ID
)
)
```
</Tab>
<Tab title="Logs">
<Frame>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/refs/heads/main/CrewAI%20Portkey%20Docs%20Metadata.png"/>
</Frame>
Portkey logs every interaction with LLMs, including:
- Complete request and response payloads
- Latency and token usage metrics
- Cost calculations
- Tool calls and function executions
All logs can be filtered by metadata, trace IDs, models, and more, making it easy to debug specific crew runs.
</Tab>
<Tab title="Metrics & Dashboards">
<Frame>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/refs/heads/main/CrewAI%20Dashboard.png"/>
</Frame>
Portkey provides built-in dashboards that help you:
- Track cost and token usage across all crew runs
- Analyze performance metrics like latency and success rates
- Identify bottlenecks in your agent workflows
- Compare different crew configurations and LLMs
You can filter and segment all metrics by custom metadata to analyze specific crew types, user groups, or use cases.
</Tab>
<Tab title="Metadata Filtering">
<Frame>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/refs/heads/main/Metadata%20Filters%20from%20CrewAI.png" alt="Analytics with metadata filters" />
</Frame>
Add custom metadata to your CrewAI LLM configuration to enable powerful filtering and segmentation:
```python
portkey_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy",
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
virtual_key="YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY",
metadata={
"crew_type": "research_crew",
"environment": "production",
"_user": "user_123", # Special _user field for user analytics
"request_source": "mobile_app"
}
)
)
```
This metadata can be used to filter logs, traces, and metrics on the Portkey dashboard, allowing you to analyze specific crew runs, users, or environments.
</Tab>
</Tabs>
### 2. Reliability - Keep Your Crews Running Smoothly
When running crews in production, things can go wrong - API rate limits, network issues, or provider outages. Portkey's reliability features ensure your agents keep running smoothly even when problems occur.
It's simple to enable fallback in your CrewAI setup by using a Portkey Config:
```python
from crewai import LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
# Create LLM with fallback configuration
portkey_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
max_tokens=1000,
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy",
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
config={
"strategy": {
"mode": "fallback"
},
"targets": [
{
"provider": "openai",
"api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",
"override_params": {"model": "gpt-4o"}
},
{
"provider": "anthropic",
"api_key": "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY",
"override_params": {"model": "claude-3-opus-20240229"}
}
]
}
)
)
# Use this LLM configuration with your agents
```
This configuration will automatically try Claude if the GPT-4o request fails, ensuring your crew can continue operating.
<CardGroup cols="2">
<Card title="Automatic Retries" icon="rotate" href="https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/automatic-retries">
Handles temporary failures automatically. If an LLM call fails, Portkey will retry the same request for the specified number of times - perfect for rate limits or network blips.
</Card>
<Card title="Request Timeouts" icon="clock" href="https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/request-timeouts">
Prevent your agents from hanging. Set timeouts to ensure you get responses (or can fail gracefully) within your required timeframes.
</Card>
<Card title="Conditional Routing" icon="route" href="https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/conditional-routing">
Send different requests to different providers. Route complex reasoning to GPT-4, creative tasks to Claude, and quick responses to Gemini based on your needs.

### 3. Prompting in CrewAI
Portkey's Prompt Engineering Studio helps you create, manage, and optimize the prompts used in your CrewAI agents. Instead of hardcoding prompts or instructions, use Portkey's prompt rendering API to dynamically fetch and apply your versioned prompts.
<Frame caption="Manage prompts in Portkey's Prompt Library">
![Prompt Playground Interface](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/refs/heads/main/CrewAI%20Portkey%20Docs.webp)
</Frame>
<Tabs>
<Tab title="Prompt Playground">
Prompt Playground is a place to compare, test and deploy perfect prompts for your AI application. It's where you experiment with different models, test variables, compare outputs, and refine your prompt engineering strategy before deploying to production. It allows you to:
1. Iteratively develop prompts before using them in your agents
2. Test prompts with different variables and models
3. Compare outputs between different prompt versions
4. Collaborate with team members on prompt development
This visual environment makes it easier to craft effective prompts for each step in your CrewAI agents' workflow.
</Tab>
<Tab title="Using Prompt Templates">
The Prompt Render API retrieves your prompt templates with all parameters configured:
```python
from crewai import Agent, LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL, Portkey
# Initialize Portkey admin client
portkey_admin = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY")
# Retrieve prompt using the render API
prompt_data = portkey_client.prompts.render(
prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
variables={
"agent_role": "Senior Research Scientist",
}
)
backstory_agent_prompt=prompt_data.data.messages[0]["content"]
# Set up LLM with Portkey integration
portkey_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy",
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
virtual_key="YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY"
)
)
# Create agent using the rendered prompt
researcher = Agent(
role="Senior Research Scientist",
goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
backstory=backstory_agent, # Use the rendered prompt
verbose=True,
llm=portkey_llm
)
```
</Tab>
<Tab title="Prompt Versioning">
You can:
- Create multiple versions of the same prompt
- Compare performance between versions
- Roll back to previous versions if needed
- Specify which version to use in your code:
```python
# Use a specific prompt version
prompt_data = portkey_admin.prompts.render(
prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID@version_number",
variables={
"agent_role": "Senior Research Scientist",
"agent_goal": "Discover groundbreaking insights"
}
)
```
</Tab>
<Tab title="Mustache Templating for variables">
Portkey prompts use Mustache-style templating for easy variable substitution:
```
You are a {{agent_role}} with expertise in {{domain}}.
Your mission is to {{agent_goal}} by leveraging your knowledge
and experience in the field.
Always maintain a {{tone}} tone and focus on providing {{focus_area}}.
```
When rendering, simply pass the variables:
```python
prompt_data = portkey_admin.prompts.render(
prompt_id="YOUR_PROMPT_ID",
variables={
"agent_role": "Senior Research Scientist",
"domain": "artificial intelligence",
"agent_goal": "discover groundbreaking insights",
"tone": "professional",

### 4. Guardrails for Safe Crews
Guardrails ensure your CrewAI agents operate safely and respond appropriately in all situations.
**Why Use Guardrails?**
CrewAI agents can experience various failure modes:
- Generating harmful or inappropriate content
- Leaking sensitive information like PII
- Hallucinating incorrect information
- Generating outputs in incorrect formats
Portkey's guardrails add protections for both inputs and outputs.
**Implementing Guardrails**
```python
from crewai import Agent, LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
# Create LLM with guardrails
portkey_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy",
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
virtual_key="YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY",
config={
"input_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-xxx", "guardrails-id-yyy"],
"output_guardrails": ["guardrails-id-zzz"]
}
)
)
# Create agent with guardrailed LLM
researcher = Agent(
role="Senior Research Scientist",
goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
verbose=True,
llm=portkey_llm
)
```
Portkey's guardrails can:
- Detect and redact PII in both inputs and outputs
- Filter harmful or inappropriate content
- Validate response formats against schemas
- Check for hallucinations against ground truth
- Apply custom business logic and rules
<Card title="Learn More About Guardrails" icon="shield-check" href="https://portkey.ai/docs/product/guardrails">

</Card>
### 5. User Tracking with Metadata
Track individual users through your CrewAI agents using Portkey's metadata system.
**What is Metadata in Portkey?**
Metadata allows you to associate custom data with each request, enabling filtering, segmentation, and analytics. The special `_user` field is specifically designed for user tracking.
```python
from crewai import Agent, LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
# Configure LLM with user tracking
portkey_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy",
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
virtual_key="YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY",
metadata={
"_user": "user_123", # Special _user field for user analytics
"user_tier": "premium",
"user_company": "Acme Corp",
"session_id": "abc-123"
}
)
)
# Create agent with tracked LLM
researcher = Agent(
role="Senior Research Scientist",
goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
verbose=True,
llm=portkey_llm
)
```
**Filter Analytics by User**
With metadata in place, you can filter analytics by user and analyze performance metrics on a per-user basis:
<Frame caption="Filter analytics by user">
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/refs/heads/main/Metadata%20Filters%20from%20CrewAI.png"/>
</Frame>
This enables:
- Per-user cost tracking and budgeting
- Personalized user analytics
- Team or organization-level metrics
- Environment-specific monitoring (staging vs. production)

### 6. Caching for Efficient Crews
Implement caching to make your CrewAI agents more efficient and cost-effective:
<Tabs>
<Tab title="Simple Caching">
```python
from crewai import Agent, LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
# Configure LLM with simple caching
portkey_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy",
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
virtual_key="YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY",
config={
"cache": {
"mode": "simple"
}
}
)
)
# Create agent with cached LLM
researcher = Agent(
role="Senior Research Scientist",
goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
verbose=True,
llm=portkey_llm
)
```
Simple caching performs exact matches on input prompts, caching identical requests to avoid redundant model executions.
</Tab>
<Tab title="Semantic Caching">
```python
from crewai import Agent, LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
# Configure LLM with semantic caching
portkey_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy",
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
virtual_key="YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY",
config={
"cache": {
"mode": "semantic"
}
}
)
)
# Create agent with semantically cached LLM
researcher = Agent(
role="Senior Research Scientist",
goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
verbose=True,
llm=portkey_llm
)
```
Semantic caching considers the contextual similarity between input requests, caching responses for semantically similar inputs.
</Tab>
</Tabs>
### 7. Model Interoperability
CrewAI supports multiple LLM providers, and Portkey extends this capability by providing access to over 200 LLMs through a unified interface. You can easily switch between different models without changing your core agent logic:
```python
from crewai import Agent, LLM
from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
# Set up LLMs with different providers
openai_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy",
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
virtual_key="YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY"
)
)
anthropic_llm = LLM(
model="claude-3-5-sonnet-latest",
max_tokens=1000,
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="dummy",
extra_headers=createHeaders(
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
virtual_key="YOUR_ANTHROPIC_VIRTUAL_KEY"
)
)
# Choose which LLM to use for each agent based on your needs
researcher = Agent(
role="Senior Research Scientist",
goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
verbose=True,
llm=openai_llm # Use anthropic_llm for Anthropic
)
```
Portkey provides access to LLMs from providers including:
- OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, etc.)
- Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, etc.)
- Mistral AI (Mistral Large, Mistral Medium, etc.)

## Set Up Enterprise Governance for CrewAI
**Why Enterprise Governance?**
If you are using CrewAI inside your organization, you need to consider several governance aspects:
- **Cost Management**: Controlling and tracking AI spending across teams
- **Access Control**: Managing which teams can use specific models
- **Usage Analytics**: Understanding how AI is being used across the organization
- **Security & Compliance**: Maintaining enterprise security standards
- **Reliability**: Ensuring consistent service across all users
Portkey adds a comprehensive governance layer to address these enterprise needs. Let's implement these controls step by step.
<Steps>
<Step title="Create Virtual Key">
Virtual Keys are Portkey's secure way to manage your LLM provider API keys. They provide essential controls like:
- Budget limits for API usage
- Rate limiting capabilities
- Secure API key storage
To create a virtual key:
Go to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in the Portkey App. Save and copy the virtual key ID
<Frame>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/refs/heads/main/Virtual%20Key%20from%20Portkey%20Docs.png" width="500"/>
</Frame>
<Note>
Save your virtual key ID - you'll need it for the next step.
</Note>
</Step>
<Step title="Create Default Config">
Configs in Portkey define how your requests are routed, with features like advanced routing, fallbacks, and retries.
To create your config:
1. Go to [Configs](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in Portkey dashboard
2. Create new config with:
```json
{
"virtual_key": "YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY_FROM_STEP1",
"override_params": {
"model": "gpt-4o" // Your preferred model name
}
}
```
3. Save and note the Config name for the next step
<Frame>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/refs/heads/main/CrewAI%20Portkey%20Docs%20Config.png" width="500"/>
</Frame>
</Step>
<Step title="Configure Portkey API Key">
Now create a Portkey API key and attach the config you created in Step 2:
1. Go to [API Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/api-keys) in Portkey and Create new API key
2. Select your config from `Step 2`
3. Generate and save your API key
<Frame>
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/refs/heads/main/CrewAI%20API%20Key.png" width="500"/>
</Frame>
</Step>
<Step title="Connect to CrewAI">
After setting up your Portkey API key with the attached config, connect it to your CrewAI agents:
```python
from crewai import Agent, LLM
from portkey_ai import PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
# Configure LLM with your API key
portkey_llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4o",
base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY"
)
# Create agent with Portkey-enabled LLM
researcher = Agent(
role="Senior Research Scientist",
goal="Discover groundbreaking insights about the assigned topic",
backstory="You are an expert researcher with deep domain knowledge.",
verbose=True,
llm=portkey_llm
)
```
</Step>
</Steps>
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion title="Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits">
### Step 1: Implement Budget Controls & Rate Limits
Virtual Keys enable granular control over LLM access at the team/department level. This helps you:
- Set up [budget limits](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/virtual-keys/budget-limits)
- Prevent unexpected usage spikes using Rate limits
- Track departmental spending
#### Setting Up Department-Specific Controls:
1. Navigate to [Virtual Keys](https://app.portkey.ai/virtual-keys) in Portkey dashboard
2. Create new Virtual Key for each department with budget limits and rate limits
3. Configure department-specific limits

</Frame>
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Step 2: Define Model Access Rules">
### Step 2: Define Model Access Rules
As your AI usage scales, controlling which teams can access specific models becomes crucial. Portkey Configs provide this control layer with features like:
#### Access Control Features:
- **Model Restrictions**: Limit access to specific models
- **Data Protection**: Implement guardrails for sensitive data
- **Reliability Controls**: Add fallbacks and retry logic
#### Example Configuration:
Here's a basic configuration to route requests to OpenAI, specifically using GPT-4o:
```json
{
"strategy": {
"mode": "single"
},
"targets": [
{
"virtual_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_VIRTUAL_KEY",
"override_params": {
"model": "gpt-4o"
}
}
]
}
```
Create your config on the [Configs page](https://app.portkey.ai/configs) in your Portkey dashboard.
<Note>
Configs can be updated anytime to adjust controls without affecting running applications.
</Note>
</Accordion>

### Step 3: Implement Access Controls
Create User-specific API keys that automatically:
- Track usage per user/team with the help of virtual keys
- Apply appropriate configs to route requests
- Collect relevant metadata to filter logs
- Enforce access permissions
Create API keys through:
- [Portkey App](https://app.portkey.ai/)
- [API Key Management API](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key)
Example using Python SDK:
```python
from portkey_ai import Portkey
portkey = Portkey(api_key="YOUR_ADMIN_API_KEY")
api_key = portkey.api_keys.create(
name="engineering-team",
type="organisation",
workspace_id="YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID",
defaults={
"config_id": "your-config-id",
"metadata": {
"environment": "production",
"department": "engineering"
}
},
scopes=["logs.view", "configs.read"]
)
```
For detailed key management instructions, see our [API Keys documentation](/api-reference/admin-api/control-plane/api-keys/create-api-key).
