+## Query Rewriting
+
+CrewAI implements an intelligent query rewriting mechanism to optimize knowledge retrieval. When an agent needs to search through knowledge sources, the raw task prompt is automatically transformed into a more effective search query.
+
+### How Query Rewriting Works
+
+1. When an agent executes a task with knowledge sources available, the `_get_knowledge_search_query` method is triggered
+2. The agent's LLM is used to transform the original task prompt into an optimized search query
+3. This optimized query is then used to retrieve relevant information from knowledge sources
+
+### Benefits of Query Rewriting
+
+<CardGroup cols={2}>
+  <Card title="Improved Retrieval Accuracy" icon="bullseye-arrow">
+    By focusing on key concepts and removing irrelevant content, query rewriting helps retrieve more relevant information.
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Context Awareness" icon="brain">
+    The rewritten queries are designed to be more specific and context-aware for vector database retrieval.
+  </Card>
+</CardGroup>
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+Query rewriting happens transparently using a system prompt that instructs the LLM to:
+
+- Focus on key words of the intended task
+- Make the query more specific and context-aware
+- Remove irrelevant content like output format instructions
+- Generate only the rewritten query without preamble or postamble
+
+<Tip>
+  This mechanism is fully automatic and requires no configuration from users. The agent's LLM is used to perform the query rewriting, so using a more capable LLM can improve the quality of rewritten queries.
+</Tip>
+
+### Example
+
+```python
+# Original task prompt
+task_prompt = "Answer the following questions about the user's favorite movies: What movie did John watch last week? Format your answer in JSON."
+
+# Behind the scenes, this might be rewritten as:
+rewritten_query = "What movies did John watch last week?"
+```
+
+The rewritten query is more focused on the core information need and removes irrelevant instructions about output formatting.

-### Structured Tools
-
-The `StructuredTool` class wraps functions as tools, providing flexibility and validation while reducing boilerplate. It supports custom schemas and dynamic logic for seamless integration of complex functionalities.
-
-#### Example:
-Using `StructuredTool.from_function`, you can wrap a function that interacts with an external API or system, providing a structured interface. This enables robust validation and consistent execution, making it easier to integrate complex functionalities into your applications as demonstrated in the following example:
-
-```python
-from crewai.tools.structured_tool import CrewStructuredTool
-from pydantic import BaseModel
-
-# Define the schema for the tool's input using Pydantic
-class APICallInput(BaseModel):
-    endpoint: str
-    parameters: dict
-
-# Wrapper function to execute the API call
-def tool_wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
-    # Here, you would typically call the API using the parameters
-    # For demonstration, we'll return a placeholder string
-    return f"Call the API at {kwargs['endpoint']} with parameters {kwargs['parameters']}"
-
-# Create and return the structured tool
-def create_structured_tool():
-    return CrewStructuredTool.from_function(
-        name='Wrapper API',
-        description="A tool to wrap API calls with structured input.",
-        args_schema=APICallInput,
-        func=tool_wrapper,
-    )
-
-# Example usage
-structured_tool = create_structured_tool()
-
-# Execute the tool with structured input
-result = structured_tool._run(**{
-    "endpoint": "https://example.com/api",
-    "parameters": {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}

+
+# Agent Repository
+
+The Agent Repository allows you to store, manage, and reuse agents across your CrewAI projects. This feature streamlines the development process by enabling you to configure agents once and use them in multiple projects.
+
+## How It Works
+
+When you create an agent in the CrewAI interface, it's stored in the Agent Repository. You can then initialize these agents in your code using the `from_repository` parameter.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use an agent from the repository in your CrewAI project, initialize it with the following code:
+
+```python
+from crewai import Agent
+
+# Initialize the agent with its role
+agent = Agent(from_repository="python-job-researcher")
+```
+
+### Creating a Crew with Repository Agents
+
+```python
+from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task
+
+agent = Agent(from_repository="python-job-researcher")
+
+job_search_task = Task(
+    description="Search for recent Python developer job listings online",
+    expected_output="Markdown list of 5 recent Python developer jobs with details.",
+    agent=agent,
+)
+
+crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[job_search_task], verbose=True)
+
+result = crew.kickoff()
+print(result)
+```
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- The `from_repository` value must match the agent's role in a URL-safe format.
+- If you change an agent's role after creation, you must update the `from_repository` value in your code accordingly, or you won't be able to find the agent anymore.
+- Make sure you have permission to use the agent as mentioned in the key points.
+
+## Agent Configuration
+
+When configuring an agent in the repository, you can specify:
+
+1. **Role** - The agent's primary function (e.g., "Python Job Researcher")
+2. **Goal** - What the agent aims to achieve (e.g., "Find Python developer job opportunities")
+3. **Backstory** - Context for the agent's behavior
+4. **Tools** - Available capabilities for the agent to use when performing tasks
+5. **Visibility Controls** - Who can access and use the agent
+
+## Managing Agents
+
+The Agent Repository interface provides functionality to:
+
+- View all available agents
+- Add new agents
+- Edit existing agents
+- Delete agents
+- View agent details including usage examples
+
+By leveraging the Agent Repository, you can build more modular and reusable AI workflows while maintaining a central location for managing your agents.

-        You can create custom tools by subclassing the `BaseTool` class provided by CrewAI or by using the tool decorator. Subclassing involves defining a new class that inherits from `BaseTool`, specifying the name, description, and the `_run` method for operational logic. The tool decorator allows you to create a `Tool` object directly with the required attributes and a functional logic.

+
+        <Steps>
+            <Step title="Install Node.js">
+                - Download and install Node.js from the official website: https://nodejs.org/
+                - Choose the LTS (Long Term Support) version for stability.
+            </Step>
+
+            <Step title="Create a new React project">
+                - Open Command Prompt or PowerShell
+                - Navigate to the directory where you want to create your project
+                - Run the following command to create a new React project:
+
+                    ```bash
+                    npx create-react-app my-crew-app
+                    ```
+                - Change into the project directory:
+                
+                    ```bash
+                    cd my-crew-app
+                    ```
+            </Step>
+
+            <Step title="Install necessary dependencies">
+
+                    ```bash
+                    npm install react-dom
+                    ```
+            </Step>
+
+            <Step title="Create the CrewLead component">
+                - Move the downloaded file `CrewLead.jsx` into the `src` folder of your project,
+            </Step>
+
+            <Step title="Modify your `App.js` to use the `CrewLead` component">
+                    - Open `src/App.js`
+                    - Replace its contents with something like this:
+
+                    ```jsx
+                    import React from 'react';
+                    import CrewLead from './CrewLead';
+
+                    function App() {
+                        return (
+                            <div className="App">
+                                <CrewLead baseUrl="YOUR_API_BASE_URL" bearerToken="YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN" />
+                            </div>
+                        );
+                    }
+
+                    export default App;
+                    ```
+                - Replace `YOUR_API_BASE_URL` and `YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN` with the actual values for your API.
+            </Step>
+
+            <Step title="Start the development server">
+                - In your project directory, run:
+                
+                    ```bash
+                    npm start
+                    ```
+                - This will start the development server, and your default web browser should open automatically to http://localhost:3000, where you'll see your React app running.
+            </Step>
+        </Steps>
+
+        You can then customise the `CrewLead.jsx` to add color, title etc

+
+            <Step title="Configuring the JSON Content">
+                In the JSON Content section, you'll need to provide the following information:
+
+                - **inputs**: A JSON object containing:
+                    - `company`: The name of the company (e.g., "tesla")
+                    - `product_name`: The name of the product (e.g., "crewai")

+                    - `taskWebhookUrl`, `stepWebhookUrl`, `crewWebhookUrl`: URLs for various webhook endpoints (ActivePieces, Zapier, Make.com or another compatible platform)
+            </Step>
+
+            <Step title="Integrating with ActivePieces">
+                In this example we will be using ActivePieces. You can use other platforms such as Zapier and Make.com
+
+                To integrate with ActivePieces:
+
+                1. Set up a new flow in ActivePieces
+                2. Add a trigger (e.g., `Every Day` schedule)

+                    </Frame>
+
+                3. Add an HTTP action step
+                    - Set the action to `Send HTTP request`
+                    - Use `POST` as the method
+                    - Set the URL to your CrewAI Enterprise kickoff endpoint
+                    - Add necessary headers (e.g., `Bearer Token`)

+                        </Frame>
+
+                    - In the body, include the JSON content as configured in step 2

+                        </Frame>
+
+                    - The crew will then kickoff at the pre-defined time.
+            </Step>
+
+            <Step title="Setting Up the Webhook">
+                1. Create a new flow in ActivePieces and name it

+                    </Frame>
+
+                2. Add a webhook step as the trigger:
+                    - Select `Catch Webhook` as the trigger type
+                    - This will generate a unique URL that will receive HTTP requests and trigger your flow

+    <Accordion title="How to generate images using Dall-E">
+        CrewAI supports integration with OpenAI's DALL-E, allowing your AI agents to generate images as part of their tasks. This guide will walk you through how to set up and use the DALL-E tool in your CrewAI projects.
+
+        **Prerequisites**
+            - crewAI installed (latest version)
+            - OpenAI API key with access to DALL-E
+
+        **Setting Up the DALL-E Tool**
+            To use the DALL-E tool in your CrewAI project, follow these steps:
+            <Steps>
+                <Step title="Import the DALL-E tool">
+
+                    ```python
+                    from crewai_tools import DallETool
+                    ```
+                </Step>
+
+                <Step title="Add the DALL-E tool to your agent configuration">
+
+                    ```python
+                    @agent
+                    def researcher(self) -> Agent:
+                        return Agent(
+                            config=self.agents_config['researcher'],
+                            tools=[SerperDevTool(), DallETool()],  # Add DallETool to the list of tools
+                            allow_delegation=False,
+                            verbose=True
+                        )
+                    ```
+                </Step>
+            </Steps>
+
+        **Using the DALL-E Tool**
+
+        Once you've added the DALL-E tool to your agent, it can generate images based on text prompts. 
+        The tool will return a URL to the generated image, which can be used in the agent's output or passed to other agents for further processing.
+
+        Example usage within a task:
+            ```YAML
+            role: >
+                LinkedIn Profile Senior Data Researcher
+            goal: >
+                Uncover detailed LinkedIn profiles based on provided name {name} and domain {domain}
+                Generate a Dall-e image based on domain {domain}
+            backstory: >
+                You're a seasoned researcher with a knack for uncovering the most relevant LinkedIn profiles.
+                Known for your ability to navigate LinkedIn efficiently, you excel at gathering and presenting
+                professional information clearly and concisely.
+            ```
+
+        The agent with the DALL-E tool will be able to generate the image and provide a URL in its response. You can then download the image.
+        <Frame>
+            <img src="/images/enterprise/dall-e-image.png" alt="DALL-E Image" />
+        </Frame>
+
+        **Best Practices**
+
+        1. Be specific in your image generation prompts to get the best results.
+        2. Remember that image generation can take some time, so factor this into your task planning.
+        3. Always comply with OpenAI's usage policies when generating images.
+
+        **Troubleshooting**
+        1. Ensure your OpenAI API key has access to DALL-E.
+        2. Check that you're using the latest version of crewAI and crewai-tools.
+        3. Verify that the DALL-E tool is correctly added to the agent's tool list.

+
+    <Accordion title="How to use Annotations in crew.py">
+        This guide explains how to use annotations to properly reference **agents**, **tasks**, and other components in the `crew.py` file.
+
+        **Introduction**
+
+        Annotations in the framework are used to decorate classes and methods, providing metadata and functionality to various components of your crew. 
+        These annotations help in organizing and structuring your code, making it more readable and maintainable.
+
+        **Available Annotations**
+
+        The CrewAI framework provides the following annotations:
+
+            - `@CrewBase`: Used to decorate the main crew class.
+            - `@agent`: Decorates methods that define and return Agent objects.
+            - `@task`: Decorates methods that define and return Task objects.
+            - `@crew`: Decorates the method that creates and returns the Crew object.
+            - `@llm`: Decorates methods that initialize and return Language Model objects.
+            - `@tool`: Decorates methods that initialize and return Tool objects.
+            - `@callback`: (Not shown in the example, but available) Used for defining callback methods.
+            - `@output_json`: (Not shown in the example, but available) Used for methods that output JSON data.
+            - `@output_pydantic`: (Not shown in the example, but available) Used for methods that output Pydantic models.
+            - `@cache_handler`: (Not shown in the example, but available) Used for defining cache handling methods.
+
+        **Usage Examples**
+
+        Let's go through examples of how to use these annotations based on the provided LinkedinProfileCrew class:
+
+        **1. Crew Base Class**
+            ```python
+            @CrewBase
+            class LinkedinProfileCrew():
+                """LinkedinProfile crew"""
+                agents_config = 'config/agents.yaml'
+                tasks_config = 'config/tasks.yaml'
+            ```
+
+            The `@CrewBase` annotation is used to decorate the main crew class. 
+            This class typically contains configurations and methods for creating agents, tasks, and the crew itself.
+
+        **2. Tool Definition**
+            ```python
+            @tool
+                def myLinkedInProfileTool(self):
+                    return LinkedInProfileTool()
+                ```
+
+            The `@tool` annotation is used to decorate methods that return tool objects. These tools can be used by agents to perform specific tasks.
+
+        **3. LLM Definition**
+            ```python
+            @llm
+            def groq_llm(self):
+                api_key = os.getenv('api_key')
+                return ChatGroq(api_key=api_key, temperature=0, model_name="mixtral-8x7b-32768")
+            ```
+
+            The `@llm` annotation is used to decorate methods that initialize and return Language Model objects. These LLMs are used by agents for natural language processing tasks.
+
+        **4. Agent Definition**
+            ```python
+            @agent
+            def researcher(self) -> Agent:
+                return Agent(
+                    config=self.agents_config['researcher']
+                )
+            ```
+
+            The `@agent` annotation is used to decorate methods that define and return Agent objects. 
+
+        **5. Task Definition**
+            ```python
+            @task
+            def research_task(self) -> Task:
+                return Task(
+                    config=self.tasks_config['research_linkedin_task'],
+                    agent=self.researcher()
+                )
+            ```
+
+            The `@task` annotation is used to decorate methods that define and return Task objects. These methods specify the task configuration and the agent responsible for the task.
+
+        **6. Crew Creation**
+            ```python
+            @crew
+            def crew(self) -> Crew:
+                """Creates the LinkedinProfile crew"""
+                return Crew(
+                    agents=self.agents,
+                            tasks=self.tasks,
+                            process=Process.sequential,
+                            verbose=True
+                )
+            ``` 
+
+            The `@crew` annotation is used to decorate the method that creates and returns the `Crew` object. This method assembles all the components (agents and tasks) into a functional crew.
+
+        **YAML Configuration**
+
+        The agent configurations are typically stored in a YAML file. Here's an example of how the `agents.yaml` file might look for the researcher agent:
+
+            ```yaml
+            researcher:
+                role: >
+                    LinkedIn Profile Senior Data Researcher
+                goal: >
+                    Uncover detailed LinkedIn profiles based on provided name {name} and domain {domain}
+                    Generate a Dall-E image based on domain {domain}
+                backstory: >
+                    You're a seasoned researcher with a knack for uncovering the most relevant      LinkedIn profiles.
+                    Known for your ability to navigate LinkedIn efficiently, you excel at            gathering and presenting
+                    professional information clearly and concisely.
+                allow_delegation: False
+                verbose: True
+                llm: groq_llm
+                tools:
+                    - myLinkedInProfileTool
+                    - mySerperDevTool
+                    - myDallETool
+            ```
+
+        This YAML configuration corresponds to the researcher agent defined in the `LinkedinProfileCrew` class. The configuration specifies the agent's role, goal, backstory, and other properties such as the LLM and tools it uses.
+
+        Note how the `llm` and `tools` in the YAML file correspond to the methods decorated with `@llm` and `@tool` in the Python class. This connection allows for a flexible and modular design where you can easily update agent configurations without changing the core code.
+
+        **Best Practices**
+            - **Consistent Naming**: Use clear and consistent naming conventions for your methods. For example, agent methods could be named after their roles (e.g., researcher, reporting_analyst).
+            - **Environment Variables**: Use environment variables for sensitive information like API keys.
+            - **Flexibility**: Design your crew to be flexible by allowing easy addition or removal of agents and tasks.
+            - **YAML-Code Correspondence**: Ensure that the names and structures in your YAML files correspond correctly to the decorated methods in your Python code.
+
+        By following these guidelines and properly using annotations, you can create well-structured and maintainable crews using the CrewAI framework.
