## CrewAI Security Policy
We are committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the CrewAI ecosystem. This policy explains how to report potential vulnerabilities and what you can expect from us when you do.
### Scope
We welcome reports for vulnerabilities that could impact:
- CrewAI-maintained source code and repositories
- CrewAI-operated infrastructure and services
- Official CrewAI releases, packages, and distributions
Issues affecting clearly unaffiliated third-party services or user-generated content are out of scope, unless you can demonstrate a direct impact on CrewAI systems or customers.
### How to Report
- **Please do not** disclose vulnerabilities via public GitHub issues, pull requests, or social media.
- Email detailed reports to **security@crewai.com** with the subject line `Security Report`.
- If you need to share large files or sensitive artifacts, mention it in your email and we will coordinate a secure transfer method.
### What to Include
Providing comprehensive information enables us to validate the issue quickly:
- **Vulnerability overview** — a concise description and classification (e.g., RCE, privilege escalation)
- **Affected components** — repository, branch, tag, or deployed service along with relevant file paths or endpoints
- **Reproduction steps** — detailed, step-by-step instructions; include logs, screenshots, or screen recordings when helpful
- **Proof-of-concept** — exploit details or code that demonstrates the impact (if available)
- **Impact analysis** — severity assessment, potential exploitation scenarios, and any prerequisites or special configurations
### Our Commitment
- **Acknowledgement:** We aim to acknowledge your report within two business days.
- **Communication:** We will keep you informed about triage results, remediation progress, and planned release timelines.
- **Resolution:** Confirmed vulnerabilities will be prioritized based on severity and fixed as quickly as possible.
- **Recognition:** We currently do not run a bug bounty program; any rewards or recognition are issued at CrewAI's discretion.
### Coordinated Disclosure
We ask that you allow us a reasonable window to investigate and remediate confirmed issues before any public disclosure. We will coordinate publication timelines with you whenever possible.
### Safe Harbor
We will not pursue or support legal action against individuals who, in good faith:
- Follow this policy and refrain from violating any applicable laws
- Avoid privacy violations, data destruction, or service disruption
- Limit testing to systems in scope and respect rate limits and terms of service
If you are unsure whether your testing is covered, please contact us at **security@crewai.com** before proceeding.

### Using Crews and Flows Together
CrewAI's power truly shines when combining Crews with Flows to create sophisticated automation pipelines.
CrewAI flows support logical operators like `or_` and `and_` to combine multiple conditions. This can be used with `@start`, `@listen`, or `@router` decorators to create complex triggering conditions.
- `or_`: Triggers when any of the specified conditions are met.
- `and_`Triggers when all of the specified conditions are met.
Here's how you can orchestrate multiple Crews within a Flow:
```python
from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start, router, or_
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
from pydantic import BaseModel
# Define structured state for precise control
class MarketState(BaseModel):
sentiment: str = "neutral"
confidence: float = 0.0
recommendations: list = []
class AdvancedAnalysisFlow(Flow[MarketState]):
@start()
def fetch_market_data(self):
# Demonstrate low-level control with structured state
self.state.sentiment = "analyzing"
return {"sector": "tech", "timeframe": "1W"} # These parameters match the task description template
@listen(fetch_market_data)
def analyze_with_crew(self, market_data):
# Show crew agency through specialized roles
analyst = Agent(
role="Senior Market Analyst",
goal="Conduct deep market analysis with expert insight",
backstory="You're a veteran analyst known for identifying subtle market patterns"
)
researcher = Agent(
role="Data Researcher",
goal="Gather and validate supporting market data",
backstory="You excel at finding and correlating multiple data sources"
)
analysis_task = Task(
description="Analyze {sector} sector data for the past {timeframe}",
expected_output="Detailed market analysis with confidence score",
agent=analyst
)
research_task = Task(
description="Find supporting data to validate the analysis",
expected_output="Corroborating evidence and potential contradictions",
agent=researcher
)
# Demonstrate crew autonomy
analysis_crew = Crew(
agents=[analyst, researcher],
tasks=[analysis_task, research_task],
process=Process.sequential,
verbose=True
)
return analysis_crew.kickoff(inputs=market_data) # Pass market_data as named inputs
@router(analyze_with_crew)
def determine_next_steps(self):
# Show flow control with conditional routing
if self.state.confidence > 0.8:
return "high_confidence"
elif self.state.confidence > 0.5:
return "medium_confidence"
return "low_confidence"
@listen("high_confidence")
def execute_strategy(self):
# Demonstrate complex decision making
strategy_crew = Crew(
agents=[
Agent(role="Strategy Expert",
goal="Develop optimal market strategy")
],
tasks=[
Task(description="Create detailed strategy based on analysis",
expected_output="Step-by-step action plan")
]
)
return strategy_crew.kickoff()
@listen(or_("medium_confidence", "low_confidence"))
def request_additional_analysis(self):
self.state.recommendations.append("Gather more data")
return "Additional analysis required"
```
This example demonstrates how to:
1. Use Python code for basic data operations
2. Create and execute Crews as steps in your workflow
3. Use Flow decorators to manage the sequence of operations
4. Implement conditional branching based on Crew results
## Connecting Your Crew to a Model
CrewAI supports using various LLMs through a variety of connection options. By default your agents will use the OpenAI API when querying the model. However, there are several other ways to allow your agents to connect to models. For example, you can configure your agents to use a local model via the Ollama tool.
Please refer to the [Connect CrewAI to LLMs](https://docs.crewai.com/how-to/LLM-Connections/) page for details on configuring your agents' connections to models.
Please refer to the [Connect CrewAI to LLMs](https://docs.crewai.com/how-to/LLM-Connections/) page for details on configuring you agents' connections to models.
## How CrewAI Compares
**CrewAI's Advantage**: CrewAI combines autonomous agent intelligence with precise workflow control through its unique Crews and Flows architecture. The framework excels at both high-level orchestration and low-level customization, enabling complex, production-grade systems with granular control.
**CrewAI's Advantage**: CrewAI is built with production in mind. It offers the flexibility of Autogen's conversational agents and the structured process approach of ChatDev, but without the rigidity. CrewAI's processes are designed to be dynamic and adaptable, fitting seamlessly into both development and production workflows.
- **LangGraph**: While LangGraph provides a foundation for building agent workflows, its approach requires significant boilerplate code and complex state management patterns. The framework's tight coupling with LangChain can limit flexibility when implementing custom agent behaviors or integrating with external systems.
- **Autogen**: While Autogen does good in creating conversational agents capable of working together, it lacks an inherent concept of process. In Autogen, orchestrating agents' interactions requires additional programming, which can become complex and cumbersome as the scale of tasks grows.
*P.S. CrewAI demonstrates significant performance advantages over LangGraph, executing 5.76x faster in certain cases like this QA task example ([see comparison](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/Notebooks/CrewAI%20Flows%20%26%20Langgraph/QA%20Agent)) while achieving higher evaluation scores with faster completion times in certain coding tasks, like in this example ([detailed analysis](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/blob/main/Notebooks/CrewAI%20Flows%20%26%20Langgraph/Coding%20Assistant/coding_assistant_eval.ipynb)).*
- **Autogen**: While Autogen excels at creating conversational agents capable of working together, it lacks an inherent concept of process. In Autogen, orchestrating agents' interactions requires additional programming, which can become complex and cumbersome as the scale of tasks grows.
- **ChatDev**: ChatDev introduced the idea of processes into the realm of AI agents, but its implementation is quite rigid. Customizations in ChatDev are limited and not geared towards production environments, which can hinder scalability and flexibility in real-world applications.

## What is an agent?
An agent is an **autonomous unit** programmed to:
<ul>
<li class='leading-3'>Perform tasks</li>
<li class='leading-3'>Make decisions</li>
<li class='leading-3'>Communicate with other agents</li>
</ul>
<Tip>
Think of an agent as a member of a team, with specific skills and a particular job to do. Agents can have different roles like `Researcher`, `Writer`, or `Customer Support`, each contributing to the overall goal of the crew.
</Tip>
## Agent attributes
| Attribute | Parameter | Description |
| :------------------------- | :--------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Role** | `role` | Defines the agent's function within the crew. It determines the kind of tasks the agent is best suited for. |
| **Goal** | `goal` | The individual objective that the agent aims to achieve. It guides the agent's decision-making process. |
| **Backstory** | `backstory`| Provides context to the agent's role and goal, enriching the interaction and collaboration dynamics. |
| **LLM** *(optional)* | `llm` | Represents the language model that will run the agent. It dynamically fetches the model name from the `OPENAI_MODEL_NAME` environment variable, defaulting to "gpt-4" if not specified. |
| **Tools** *(optional)* | `tools` | Set of capabilities or functions that the agent can use to perform tasks. Expected to be instances of custom classes compatible with the agent's execution environment. Tools are initialized with a default value of an empty list. |
| **Function Calling LLM** *(optional)* | `function_calling_llm` | Specifies the language model that will handle the tool calling for this agent, overriding the crew function calling LLM if passed. Default is `None`. |
| **Max Iter** *(optional)* | `max_iter` | Max Iter is the maximum number of iterations the agent can perform before being forced to give its best answer. Default is `25`. |
| **Max RPM** *(optional)* | `max_rpm` | Max RPM is the maximum number of requests per minute the agent can perform to avoid rate limits. It's optional and can be left unspecified, with a default value of `None`. |
| **Max Execution Time** *(optional)* | `max_execution_time` | Max Execution Time is the maximum execution time for an agent to execute a task. It's optional and can be left unspecified, with a default value of `None`, meaning no max execution time. |
| **Verbose** *(optional)* | `verbose` | Setting this to `True` configures the internal logger to provide detailed execution logs, aiding in debugging and monitoring. Default is `False`. |
| **Allow Delegation** *(optional)* | `allow_delegation` | Agents can delegate tasks or questions to one another, ensuring that each task is handled by the most suitable agent. Default is `False`. |
| **Step Callback** *(optional)* | `step_callback` | A function that is called after each step of the agent. This can be used to log the agent's actions or to perform other operations. It will overwrite the crew `step_callback`. |
| **Cache** *(optional)* | `cache` | Indicates if the agent should use a cache for tool usage. Default is `True`. |
| **System Template** *(optional)* | `system_template` | Specifies the system format for the agent. Default is `None`. |

| **Respect Context Window** *(optional)* | `respect_context_window` | Summary strategy to avoid overflowing the context window. Default is `True`. |
| **Code Execution Mode** *(optional)* | `code_execution_mode` | Determines the mode for code execution: 'safe' (using Docker) or 'unsafe' (direct execution on the host machine). Default is `safe`. |
## Creating an agent
<Note>
**Agent interaction**: Agents can interact with each other using CrewAI's built-in delegation and communication mechanisms. This allows for dynamic task management and problem-solving within the crew.
</Note>
To create an agent, you would typically initialize an instance of the `Agent` class with the desired properties. Here's a conceptual example including all attributes:
```python Code example
from crewai import Agent
agent = Agent(
role='Data Analyst',
goal='Extract actionable insights',
backstory="""You're a data analyst at a large company.
You're responsible for analyzing data and providing insights
to the business.
You're currently working on a project to analyze the
performance of our marketing campaigns.""",
tools=[my_tool1, my_tool2], # Optional, defaults to an empty list
llm=my_llm, # Optional
function_calling_llm=my_llm, # Optional
max_iter=15, # Optional
max_rpm=None, # Optional
max_execution_time=None, # Optional
verbose=True, # Optional
allow_delegation=False, # Optional
step_callback=my_intermediate_step_callback, # Optional
cache=True, # Optional
system_template=my_system_template, # Optional
prompt_template=my_prompt_template, # Optional
response_template=my_response_template, # Optional
config=my_config, # Optional
crew=my_crew, # Optional
tools_handler=my_tools_handler, # Optional
cache_handler=my_cache_handler, # Optional
callbacks=[callback1, callback2], # Optional
allow_code_execution=True, # Optional
max_retry_limit=2, # Optional
use_system_prompt=True, # Optional
respect_context_window=True, # Optional
code_execution_mode='safe', # Optional, defaults to 'safe'
)
```
## Setting prompt templates
Prompt templates are used to format the prompt for the agent. You can use to update the system, regular and response templates for the agent. Here's an example of how to set prompt templates:
```python Code example
agent = Agent(
role="{topic} specialist",
goal="Figure {goal} out",
backstory="I am the master of {role}",
system_template="""<|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>
{{ .System }}<|eot_id|>""",
prompt_template="""<|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>
{{ .Prompt }}<|eot_id|>""",
response_template="""<|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
{{ .Response }}<|eot_id|>""",
)
```
## Bring your third-party agents
Extend your third-party agents like LlamaIndex, Langchain, Autogen or fully custom agents using the the CrewAI's `BaseAgent` class.
<Note>
**BaseAgent** includes attributes and methods required to integrate with your crews to run and delegate tasks to other agents within your own crew.
</Note>
CrewAI is a universal multi-agent framework that allows for all agents to work together to automate tasks and solve problems.
```python Code example
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from custom_agent import CustomAgent # You need to build and extend your own agent logic with the CrewAI BaseAgent class then import it here.
from langchain.agents import load_tools
langchain_tools = load_tools(["google-serper"], llm=llm)
agent1 = CustomAgent(
role="agent role",
goal="who is {input}?",
backstory="agent backstory",
verbose=True,
)
task1 = Task(
expected_output="a short biography of {input}",
description="a short biography of {input}",
agent=agent1,
)
agent2 = Agent(
role="agent role",
goal="summarize the short bio for {input} and if needed do more research",
backstory="agent backstory",
verbose=True,
)
task2 = Task(
description="a tldr summary of the short biography",
expected_output="5 bullet point summary of the biography",
agent=agent2,
context=[task1],
)
my_crew = Crew(agents=[agent1, agent2], tasks=[task1, task2])
crew = my_crew.kickoff(inputs={"input": "Mark Twain"})
```
## Conclusion
Agents are the building blocks of the CrewAI framework. By understanding how to define and interact with agents,
you can create sophisticated AI systems that leverage the power of collaborative intelligence. The `code_execution_mode` attribute provides flexibility in how agents execute code, allowing for both secure and direct execution options.

</Tip>
## Creating Crews
There are two ways to create crews in CrewAI: using **YAML configuration (recommended)** or defining them **directly in code**.
### YAML Configuration (Recommended)
Using YAML configuration provides a cleaner, more maintainable way to define crews and is consistent with how agents and tasks are defined in CrewAI projects.
After creating your CrewAI project as outlined in the [Installation](/en/installation) section, you can define your crew in a class that inherits from `CrewBase` and uses decorators to define agents, tasks, and the crew itself.
#### Example Crew Class with Decorators
```python code
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task, Process
from crewai.project import CrewBase, agent, task, crew, before_kickoff, after_kickoff
from crewai.agents.agent_builder.base_agent import BaseAgent
from typing import List
@CrewBase
class YourCrewName:
"""Description of your crew"""
agents: List[BaseAgent]
tasks: List[Task]
# Paths to your YAML configuration files
# To see an example agent and task defined in YAML, checkout the following:
# - Task: https://docs.crewai.com/concepts/tasks#yaml-configuration-recommended
# - Agents: https://docs.crewai.com/concepts/agents#yaml-configuration-recommended
agents_config = 'config/agents.yaml'
tasks_config = 'config/tasks.yaml'
@before_kickoff
def prepare_inputs(self, inputs):
# Modify inputs before the crew starts
inputs['additional_data'] = "Some extra information"
return inputs
@after_kickoff
def process_output(self, output):
# Modify output after the crew finishes
output.raw += "\nProcessed after kickoff."
return output
@agent
def agent_one(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config['agent_one'], # type: ignore[index]
verbose=True
)
@agent
def agent_two(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config['agent_two'], # type: ignore[index]
verbose=True
)
@task
def task_one(self) -> Task:
return Task(
config=self.tasks_config['task_one'] # type: ignore[index]
)
@task
def task_two(self) -> Task:
return Task(
config=self.tasks_config['task_two'] # type: ignore[index]
)
@crew
def crew(self) -> Crew:
return Crew(
agents=self.agents, # Automatically collected by the @agent decorator
tasks=self.tasks, # Automatically collected by the @task decorator.
process=Process.sequential,
verbose=True,
)
```
How to run the above code:
```python code
YourCrewName().crew().kickoff(inputs={"any": "input here"})
```
<Note>
Tasks will be executed in the order they are defined.
</Note>
The `CrewBase` class, along with these decorators, automates the collection of agents and tasks, reducing the need for manual management.
#### Decorators overview from `annotations.py`
CrewAI provides several decorators in the `annotations.py` file that are used to mark methods within your crew class for special handling:
- `@CrewBase`: Marks the class as a crew base class.
- `@agent`: Denotes a method that returns an `Agent` object.
- `@task`: Denotes a method that returns a `Task` object.
- `@crew`: Denotes the method that returns the `Crew` object.
- `@before_kickoff`: (Optional) Marks a method to be executed before the crew starts.
- `@after_kickoff`: (Optional) Marks a method to be executed after the crew finishes.
These decorators help in organizing your crew's structure and automatically collecting agents and tasks without manually listing them.
### Direct Code Definition (Alternative)
Alternatively, you can define the crew directly in code without using YAML configuration files.
```python code
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task, Process
from crewai_tools import YourCustomTool
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,
tools=[YourCustomTool()]
)
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(
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(
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
)
```
How to run the above code:
```python code
YourCrewName().crew().kickoff(inputs={})
```
In this example:
- Agents and tasks are defined directly within the class without decorators.
- We manually create and manage the list of agents and tasks.
- This approach provides more control but can be less maintainable for larger projects.

![Flow Visual image](/images/crewai-flow-1.png)
In the above example, we have created a simple Flow that generates a random city using OpenAI and then generates a fun fact about that city. The Flow consists of two tasks: `generate_city` and `generate_fun_fact`. The `generate_city` task is the starting point of the Flow, and the `generate_fun_fact` task listens for the output of the `generate_city` task.
Each Flow instance automatically receives a unique identifier (UUID) in its state, which helps track and manage flow executions. The state can also store additional data (like the generated city and fun fact) that persists throughout the flow's execution.
When you run the Flow, it will:
1. Generate a unique ID for the flow state
2. Generate a random city and store it in the state
3. Generate a fun fact about that city and store it in the state
4. Print the results to the console
The state's unique ID and stored data can be useful for tracking flow executions and maintaining context between tasks.
When you run the Flow, it will generate a random city and then generate a fun fact about that city. The output will be printed to the console.
**Note:** Ensure you have set up your `.env` file to store your `OPENAI_API_KEY`. This key is necessary for authenticating requests to the OpenAI API.
### @start()
The `@start()` decorator marks entry points for a Flow. You can:
- Declare multiple unconditional starts: `@start()`
- Gate a start on a prior method or router label: `@start("method_or_label")`
- Provide a callable condition to control when a start should fire
All satisfied `@start()` methods will execute (often in parallel) when the Flow begins or resumes.
The `@start()` decorator is used to mark a method as the starting point of a Flow. When a Flow is started, all the methods decorated with `@start()` are executed in parallel. You can have multiple start methods in a Flow, and they will all be executed when the Flow is started.

In unstructured state management, all state is stored in the `state` attribute of the `Flow` class.
This approach offers flexibility, enabling developers to add or modify state attributes on the fly without defining a strict schema.
Even with unstructured states, CrewAI Flows automatically generates and maintains a unique identifier (UUID) for each state instance.
```python Code

By providing both unstructured and structured state management options, CrewAI Flows empowers developers to build AI workflows that are both flexible and robust, catering to a wide range of application requirements.
## Flow Persistence
The @persist decorator enables automatic state persistence in CrewAI Flows, allowing you to maintain flow state across restarts or different workflow executions. This decorator can be applied at either the class level or method level, providing flexibility in how you manage state persistence.
### Class-Level Persistence
When applied at the class level, the @persist decorator automatically persists all flow method states:
```python
@persist # Using SQLiteFlowPersistence by default
class MyFlow(Flow[MyState]):
@start()
def initialize_flow(self):
# This method will automatically have its state persisted
self.state.counter = 1
print("Initialized flow. State ID:", self.state.id)
@listen(initialize_flow)
def next_step(self):
# The state (including self.state.id) is automatically reloaded
self.state.counter += 1
print("Flow state is persisted. Counter:", self.state.counter)
```
### Method-Level Persistence
For more granular control, you can apply @persist to specific methods:
```python
class AnotherFlow(Flow[dict]):
@persist # Persists only this method's state
@start()
def begin(self):
if "runs" not in self.state:
self.state["runs"] = 0
self.state["runs"] += 1
print("Method-level persisted runs:", self.state["runs"])
```
### How It Works
1. **Unique State Identification**
- Each flow state automatically receives a unique UUID
- The ID is preserved across state updates and method calls
- Supports both structured (Pydantic BaseModel) and unstructured (dictionary) states
2. **Default SQLite Backend**
- SQLiteFlowPersistence is the default storage backend
- States are automatically saved to a local SQLite database
- Robust error handling ensures clear messages if database operations fail
3. **Error Handling**
- Comprehensive error messages for database operations
- Automatic state validation during save and load
- Clear feedback when persistence operations encounter issues
### Important Considerations
- **State Types**: Both structured (Pydantic BaseModel) and unstructured (dictionary) states are supported
- **Automatic ID**: The `id` field is automatically added if not present
- **State Recovery**: Failed or restarted flows can automatically reload their previous state
- **Custom Implementation**: You can provide your own FlowPersistence implementation for specialized storage needs
### Technical Advantages
1. **Precise Control Through Low-Level Access**
- Direct access to persistence operations for advanced use cases
- Fine-grained control via method-level persistence decorators
- Built-in state inspection and debugging capabilities
- Full visibility into state changes and persistence operations
2. **Enhanced Reliability**
- Automatic state recovery after system failures or restarts
- Transaction-based state updates for data integrity
- Comprehensive error handling with clear error messages
- Robust validation during state save and load operations
3. **Extensible Architecture**
- Customizable persistence backend through FlowPersistence interface
- Support for specialized storage solutions beyond SQLite
- Compatible with both structured (Pydantic) and unstructured (dict) states
- Seamless integration with existing CrewAI flow patterns
The persistence system's architecture emphasizes technical precision and customization options, allowing developers to maintain full control over state management while benefiting from built-in reliability features.

"""
# Execute the analysis with structured output format
result = await analyst.kickoff_async(query, response_format=MarketAnalysis)
if result.pydantic:
print("result", result.pydantic)
else:
print("result", result)
# Return the analysis to update the state
return {"analysis": result.pydantic}
@listen(analyze_market)
def present_results(self, analysis) -> None:
print("\nMarket Analysis Results")
print("=====================")
if isinstance(analysis, dict):
# If we got a dict with 'analysis' key, extract the actual analysis object
market_analysis = analysis.get("analysis")
else:
market_analysis = analysis
if market_analysis and isinstance(market_analysis, MarketAnalysis):
print("\nKey Market Trends:")
for trend in market_analysis.key_trends:
print(f"- {trend}")
print(f"\nMarket Size: {market_analysis.market_size}")
print("\nMajor Competitors:")
for competitor in market_analysis.competitors:
print(f"- {competitor}")
else:
print("No structured analysis data available.")
print("Raw analysis:", analysis)
# Usage example
async def run_flow():
flow = MarketResearchFlow()
flow.plot("MarketResearchFlowPlot")

This example demonstrates several key features of using Agents 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**: Agents can use tools (like `WebsiteSearchTool`) to enhance their capabilities.

## Running Flows
There are two ways to run a flow:
### Using the Flow API
You can run a flow programmatically by creating an instance of your flow class and calling the `kickoff()` method:
```python
flow = ExampleFlow()
result = flow.kickoff()
```
### Using the CLI
Starting from version 0.103.0, you can run flows using the `crewai run` command:
```shell
crewai run
```
This command automatically detects if your project is a flow (based on the `type = "flow"` setting in your pyproject.toml) and runs it accordingly. This is the recommended way to run flows from the command line.
For backward compatibility, you can also use:
```shell
crewai flow kickoff
```
However, the `crewai run` command is now the preferred method as it works for both crews and flows.

# Large Language Models (LLMs) in CrewAI
Large Language Models (LLMs) are the backbone of intelligent agents in the CrewAI framework. This guide will help you understand, configure, and optimize LLM usage for your CrewAI projects.
## Key Concepts
- **LLM**: Large Language Model, the AI powering agent intelligence
- **Agent**: A CrewAI entity that uses an LLM to perform tasks
- **Provider**: A service that offers LLM capabilities (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, [more providers](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers))
## Configuring LLMs for Agents
CrewAI offers flexible options for setting up LLMs:
### 1. Default Configuration
By default, CrewAI uses the `gpt-4o-mini` model. It uses environment variables if no LLM is specified:
- `OPENAI_MODEL_NAME` (defaults to "gpt-4o-mini" if not set)
- `OPENAI_API_BASE`
- `OPENAI_API_KEY`
### 2. String Identifier
```python Code
agent = Agent(llm="gpt-4o", ...)
```
### 3. LLM Instance
List of [more providers](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers).
```python Code
from crewai import LLM
llm = LLM(model="gpt-4", temperature=0.7)
agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...)
```
### 4. Custom LLM Objects
Pass a custom LLM implementation or object from another library.
## Connecting to OpenAI-Compatible LLMs
You can connect to OpenAI-compatible LLMs using either environment variables or by setting specific attributes on the LLM class:
1. Using environment variables:
```python Code
import os
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"
os.environ["OPENAI_API_BASE"] = "https://api.your-provider.com/v1"
```
2. Using LLM class attributes:
```python Code
from crewai import LLM
llm = LLM(
model="custom-model-name",
api_key="your-api-key",
base_url="https://api.your-provider.com/v1"
)
agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...)
```
## LLM Configuration Options
When configuring an LLM for your agent, you have access to a wide range of parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|:------------------|:---------------:|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **model** | `str` | Name of the model to use (e.g., "gpt-4", "gpt-3.5-turbo", "ollama/llama3.1"). For more options, visit the providers documentation. |
| **timeout** | `float, int` | Maximum time (in seconds) to wait for a response. |
| **temperature** | `float` | Controls randomness in output (0.0 to 1.0). |
| **top_p** | `float` | Controls diversity of output (0.0 to 1.0). |
| **n** | `int` | Number of completions to generate. |
| **stop** | `str, List[str]` | Sequence(s) where generation should stop. |
| **max_tokens** | `int` | Maximum number of tokens to generate. |
| **presence_penalty** | `float` | Penalizes new tokens based on their presence in prior text. |
| **frequency_penalty**| `float` | Penalizes new tokens based on their frequency in prior text. |
| **logit_bias** | `Dict[int, float]`| Modifies likelihood of specified tokens appearing. |
| **response_format** | `Dict[str, Any]` | Specifies the format of the response (e.g., JSON object). |
| **seed** | `int` | Sets a random seed for deterministic results. |
| **logprobs** | `bool` | Returns log probabilities of output tokens if enabled. |
| **top_logprobs** | `int` | Number of most likely tokens for which to return log probabilities. |
| **base_url** | `str` | The base URL for the API endpoint. |
| **api_version** | `str` | Version of the API to use. |
| **api_key** | `str` | Your API key for authentication. |
## OpenAI Example Configuration
```python Code
from crewai import LLM
llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4",
temperature=0.8,
max_tokens=150,
top_p=0.9,
frequency_penalty=0.1,
presence_penalty=0.1,
stop=["END"],
seed=42,
base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1",
api_key="your-api-key-here"
)
agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...)
```
## Cerebras Example Configuration
```python Code
from crewai import LLM
llm = LLM(
model="cerebras/llama-3.1-70b",
base_url="https://api.cerebras.ai/v1",
api_key="your-api-key-here"
)
agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...)
```
## Using Ollama (Local LLMs)
CrewAI supports using Ollama for running open-source models locally:
1. Install Ollama: [ollama.ai](https://ollama.ai/)
2. Run a model: `ollama run llama2`
3. Configure agent:
```python Code
from crewai import LLM
agent = Agent(
llm=LLM(model="ollama/llama3.1", base_url="http://localhost:11434"),
...
)
```
## Changing the Base API URL
You can change the base API URL for any LLM provider by setting the `base_url` parameter:
```python Code
from crewai import LLM
llm = LLM(
model="custom-model-name",
base_url="https://api.your-provider.com/v1",
api_key="your-api-key"
)
agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...)
```
This is particularly useful when working with OpenAI-compatible APIs or when you need to specify a different endpoint for your chosen provider.
## Best Practices
1. **Choose the right model**: Balance capability and cost.
2. **Optimize prompts**: Clear, concise instructions improve output.
3. **Manage tokens**: Monitor and limit token usage for efficiency.
4. **Use appropriate temperature**: Lower for factual tasks, higher for creative ones.
5. **Implement error handling**: Gracefully manage API errors and rate limits.
## Troubleshooting
- **API Errors**: Check your API key, network connection, and rate limits.
- **Unexpected Outputs**: Refine your prompts and adjust temperature or top_p.
- **Performance Issues**: Consider using a more powerful model or optimizing your queries.
- **Timeout Errors**: Increase the `timeout` parameter or optimize your input.

title: Memory
description: Leveraging memory systems in the CrewAI framework to enhance agent capabilities.

## Introduction to Memory Systems in CrewAI
The crewAI framework introduces a sophisticated memory system designed to significantly enhance the capabilities of AI agents.
This system comprises `short-term memory`, `long-term memory`, `entity memory`, and `contextual memory`, each serving a unique purpose in aiding agents to remember,
reason, and learn from past interactions.
## Memory System Components
| Component | Description |
| :------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Short-Term Memory**| Temporarily stores recent interactions and outcomes using `RAG`, enabling agents to recall and utilize information relevant to their current context during the current executions.|
| **Long-Term Memory** | Preserves valuable insights and learnings from past executions, allowing agents to build and refine their knowledge over time. |
| **Entity Memory** | Captures and organizes information about entities (people, places, concepts) encountered during tasks, facilitating deeper understanding and relationship mapping. Uses `RAG` for storing entity information. |
| **Contextual Memory**| Maintains the context of interactions by combining `ShortTermMemory`, `LongTermMemory`, and `EntityMemory`, aiding in the coherence and relevance of agent responses over a sequence of tasks or a conversation. |
## How Memory Systems Empower Agents
1. **Contextual Awareness**: With short-term and contextual memory, agents gain the ability to maintain context over a conversation or task sequence, leading to more coherent and relevant responses.
2. **Experience Accumulation**: Long-term memory allows agents to accumulate experiences, learning from past actions to improve future decision-making and problem-solving.
3. **Entity Understanding**: By maintaining entity memory, agents can recognize and remember key entities, enhancing their ability to process and interact with complex information.
## Implementing Memory in Your Crew
When configuring a crew, you can enable and customize each memory component to suit the crew's objectives and the nature of tasks it will perform.
By default, the memory system is disabled, and you can ensure it is active by setting `memory=True` in the crew configuration.
The memory will use OpenAI embeddings by default, but you can change it by setting `embedder` to a different model.
It's also possible to initialize the memory instance with your own instance.
The 'embedder' only applies to **Short-Term Memory** which uses Chroma for RAG.
The **Long-Term Memory** uses SQLite3 to store task results. Currently, there is no way to override these storage implementations.
The data storage files are saved into a platform-specific location found using the appdirs package,
and the name of the project can be overridden using the **CREWAI_STORAGE_DIR** environment variable.
### Example: Configuring Memory for a Crew
```python Code
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
# Assemble your crew with memory capabilities
my_crew = Crew(
agents=[...],
tasks=[...],
process=Process.sequential,
memory=True,
verbose=True
)
```
### Example: Use Custom Memory Instances e.g FAISS as the VectorDB
```python Code
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
# Assemble your crew with memory capabilities
my_crew = Crew(
agents=[...],
tasks=[...],
process="Process.sequential",
memory=True,
long_term_memory=EnhanceLongTermMemory(
storage=LTMSQLiteStorage(
db_path="/my_data_dir/my_crew1/long_term_memory_storage.db"
)
),
short_term_memory=EnhanceShortTermMemory(
storage=CustomRAGStorage(
crew_name="my_crew",
storage_type="short_term",
data_dir="//my_data_dir",
model=embedder["model"],
dimension=embedder["dimension"],
),
),
entity_memory=EnhanceEntityMemory(
storage=CustomRAGStorage(
crew_name="my_crew",
storage_type="entities",
data_dir="//my_data_dir",
model=embedder["model"],
dimension=embedder["dimension"],
),
),
verbose=True,
)
```
## Additional Embedding Providers
### Using OpenAI embeddings (already default)
```python Code
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
my_crew = Crew(
agents=[...],

memory=True,
verbose=True,
embedder={
"provider": "openai",
"config": {
"model": 'text-embedding-3-small'
}
}
)
```
Alternatively, you can directly pass the OpenAIEmbeddingFunction to the embedder parameter.
Example:
```python Code
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
from chromadb.utils.embedding_functions import OpenAIEmbeddingFunction
my_crew = Crew(
agents=[...],
tasks=[...],
process=Process.sequential,
memory=True,
verbose=True,
embedder=OpenAIEmbeddingFunction(api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"), model_name="text-embedding-3-small"),
)
```
### Using Ollama embeddings
```python Code
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
my_crew = Crew(
agents=[...],
tasks=[...],
process=Process.sequential,
memory=True,
verbose=True,
embedder={
"provider": "ollama",
"config": {
"model": "mxbai-embed-large"
}
}
)
```
### Using Google AI embeddings

my_crew = Crew(
agents=[...],
tasks=[...],
process=Process.sequential,
memory=True,
verbose=True,
embedder={
"provider": "cohere",
"config": {
"api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
"model_name": "<model_name>"
}
}
)
```
### Using HuggingFace embeddings
```python Code
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
my_crew = Crew(
agents=[...],
tasks=[...],
process=Process.sequential,
memory=True,
verbose=True,
embedder={
"provider": "huggingface",
"config": {
"api_url": "<api_url>",
}
}
)
```
### Resetting Memory

---
## Overview of a Task
In the CrewAI framework, a `Task` is a specific assignment completed by an `Agent`.
They provide all necessary details for execution, such as a description, the agent responsible, required tools, and more, facilitating a wide range of action complexities.
Tasks within CrewAI can be collaborative, requiring multiple agents to work together. This is managed through the task properties and orchestrated by the Crew's process, enhancing teamwork and efficiency.
## Task Attributes
| Attribute | Parameters | Type | Description |
| :------------------------------- | :---------------- | :---------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Description** | `description` | `str` | A clear, concise statement of what the task entails. |
| **Agent** | `agent` | `Optional[BaseAgent]` | The agent responsible for the task, assigned either directly or by the crew's process. |
| **Expected Output** | `expected_output` | `str` | A detailed description of what the task's completion looks like. |
| **Tools** _(optional)_ | `tools` | `Optional[List[Any]]` | The functions or capabilities the agent can utilize to perform the task. Defaults to an empty list. |
| **Async Execution** _(optional)_ | `async_execution` | `Optional[bool]` | If set, the task executes asynchronously, allowing progression without waiting for completion. Defaults to False. |
| **Context** _(optional)_ | `context` | `Optional[List["Task"]]` | Specifies tasks whose outputs are used as context for this task. |
| **Config** _(optional)_ | `config` | `Optional[Dict[str, Any]]` | Additional configuration details for the agent executing the task, allowing further customization. Defaults to None. |

| **Output Pydantic** _(optional)_ | `output_pydantic` | `Optional[Type[BaseModel]]` | Outputs a Pydantic model object, requiring an OpenAI client. Only one output format can be set. |
| **Output File** _(optional)_ | `output_file` | `Optional[str]` | Saves the task output to a file. If used with `Output JSON` or `Output Pydantic`, specifies how the output is saved. |
| **Output** _(optional)_ | `output` | `Optional[TaskOutput]` | An instance of `TaskOutput`, containing the raw, JSON, and Pydantic output plus additional details. |
| **Callback** _(optional)_ | `callback` | `Optional[Any]` | A callable that is executed with the task's output upon completion. |
| **Human Input** _(optional)_ | `human_input` | `Optional[bool]` | Indicates if the task should involve human review at the end, useful for tasks needing human oversight. Defaults to False.|
| **Converter Class** _(optional)_ | `converter_cls` | `Optional[Type[Converter]]` | A converter class used to export structured output. Defaults to None. |
## Creating a Task
Creating a task involves defining its scope, responsible agent, and any additional attributes for flexibility:
```python Code
from crewai import Task
task = Task(
description='Find and summarize the latest and most relevant news on AI',
agent=sales_agent,
expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news',
)
```
<Tip>
Directly specify an `agent` for assignment or let the `hierarchical` CrewAI's process decide based on roles, availability, etc.
</Tip>
## Task Output
The output of a task in CrewAI framework is encapsulated within the `TaskOutput` class. This class provides a structured way to access results of a task, including various formats such as raw output, JSON, and Pydantic models.
By default, the `TaskOutput` will only include the `raw` output. A `TaskOutput` will only include the `pydantic` or `json_dict` output if the original `Task` object was configured with `output_pydantic` or `output_json`, respectively.
### Task Output Attributes
| Attribute | Parameters | Type | Description |
| :---------------- | :-------------- | :------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Description** | `description` | `str` | Description of the task. |
| **Summary** | `summary` | `Optional[str]` | Summary of the task, auto-generated from the first 10 words of the description. |
| **Raw** | `raw` | `str` | The raw output of the task. This is the default format for the output. |
| **Pydantic** | `pydantic` | `Optional[BaseModel]` | A Pydantic model object representing the structured output of the task. |
| **JSON Dict** | `json_dict` | `Optional[Dict[str, Any]]` | A dictionary representing the JSON output of the task. |
| **Agent** | `agent` | `str` | The agent that executed the task. |
| **Output Format** | `output_format` | `OutputFormat` | The format of the task output, with options including RAW, JSON, and Pydantic. The default is RAW. |
### Task Methods and Properties
| Method/Property | Description |
| :-------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **json** | Returns the JSON string representation of the task output if the output format is JSON. |
| **to_dict** | Converts the JSON and Pydantic outputs to a dictionary. |
| **str** | Returns the string representation of the task output, prioritizing Pydantic, then JSON, then raw. |
### Accessing Task Outputs
Once a task has been executed, its output can be accessed through the `output` attribute of the `Task` object. The `TaskOutput` class provides various ways to interact with and present this output.
#### Example
```python Code
# Example task
task = Task(
description='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news',
agent=research_agent,
tools=[search_tool]
)
# Execute the crew
crew = Crew(
agents=[research_agent],
tasks=[task],
verbose=True
)
result = crew.kickoff()
# Accessing the task output
task_output = task.output
print(f"Task Description: {task_output.description}")
print(f"Task Summary: {task_output.summary}")
print(f"Raw Output: {task_output.raw}")
if task_output.json_dict:
print(f"JSON Output: {json.dumps(task_output.json_dict, indent=2)}")
if task_output.pydantic:
print(f"Pydantic Output: {task_output.pydantic}")
```
## Integrating Tools with Tasks
Leverage tools from the [CrewAI Toolkit](https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewai-tools) and [LangChain Tools](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools) for enhanced task performance and agent interaction.
## Creating a Task with Tools
```python Code
import os
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Key" # serper.dev API key
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
research_agent = Agent(
role='Researcher',
goal='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
backstory="""You're a researcher at a large company.
You're responsible for analyzing data and providing insights
to the business.""",
verbose=True
)
# to perform a semantic search for a specified query from a text's content across the internet
search_tool = SerperDevTool()
task = Task(
description='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news',
agent=research_agent,
tools=[search_tool]
)
crew = Crew(
agents=[research_agent],
tasks=[task],
verbose=True
)
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)
```
This demonstrates how tasks with specific tools can override an agent's default set for tailored task execution.
## Referring to Other Tasks
In CrewAI, the output of one task is automatically relayed into the next one, but you can specifically define what tasks' output, including multiple, should be used as context for another task.
This is useful when you have a task that depends on the output of another task that is not performed immediately after it. This is done through the `context` attribute of the task:
```python Code
# ...
research_ai_task = Task(
description='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news',
async_execution=True,
agent=research_agent,
tools=[search_tool]
)
research_ops_task = Task(
description='Find and summarize the latest AI Ops news',
expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI Ops news',
async_execution=True,
agent=research_agent,
tools=[search_tool]
)
write_blog_task = Task(
description="Write a full blog post about the importance of AI and its latest news",
expected_output='Full blog post that is 4 paragraphs long',
agent=writer_agent,
context=[research_ai_task, research_ops_task]
)
#...
```
## Asynchronous Execution
You can define a task to be executed asynchronously. This means that the crew will not wait for it to be completed to continue with the next task. This is useful for tasks that take a long time to be completed, or that are not crucial for the next tasks to be performed.
You can then use the `context` attribute to define in a future task that it should wait for the output of the asynchronous task to be completed.
```python Code
#...
list_ideas = Task(
description="List of 5 interesting ideas to explore for an article about AI.",
expected_output="Bullet point list of 5 ideas for an article.",
agent=researcher,
async_execution=True # Will be executed asynchronously
)
list_important_history = Task(
description="Research the history of AI and give me the 5 most important events.",
expected_output="Bullet point list of 5 important events.",
agent=researcher,
async_execution=True # Will be executed asynchronously
)
write_article = Task(
description="Write an article about AI, its history, and interesting ideas.",
expected_output="A 4 paragraph article about AI.",
agent=writer,
context=[list_ideas, list_important_history] # Will wait for the output of the two tasks to be completed
)
#...
```
## Callback Mechanism
The callback function is executed after the task is completed, allowing for actions or notifications to be triggered based on the task's outcome.
```python Code
# ...
def callback_function(output: TaskOutput):
# Do something after the task is completed
# Example: Send an email to the manager
print(f"""
Task completed!
Task: {output.description}
Output: {output.raw}
""")
research_task = Task(
description='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news',
agent=research_agent,
tools=[search_tool],
callback=callback_function
)
#...
```
## Accessing a Specific Task Output
Once a crew finishes running, you can access the output of a specific task by using the `output` attribute of the task object:
```python Code
# ...
task1 = Task(
description='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news',
agent=research_agent,
tools=[search_tool]
)
#...
crew = Crew(
agents=[research_agent],
tasks=[task1, task2, task3],
verbose=True
)
result = crew.kickoff()
# Returns a TaskOutput object with the description and results of the task
print(f"""
Task completed!
Task: {task1.output.description}
Output: {task1.output.raw}
""")
```
## Tool Override Mechanism
Specifying tools in a task allows for dynamic adaptation of agent capabilities, emphasizing CrewAI's flexibility.
## Error Handling and Validation Mechanisms
While creating and executing tasks, certain validation mechanisms are in place to ensure the robustness and reliability of task attributes. These include but are not limited to:
- Ensuring only one output type is set per task to maintain clear output expectations.
- Preventing the manual assignment of the `id` attribute to uphold the integrity of the unique identifier system.
These validations help in maintaining the consistency and reliability of task executions within the crewAI framework.
## Creating Directories when Saving Files
You can now specify if a task should create directories when saving its output to a file. This is particularly useful for organizing outputs and ensuring that file paths are correctly structured.
```python Code
# ...
save_output_task = Task(
description='Save the summarized AI news to a file',
expected_output='File saved successfully',
agent=research_agent,
tools=[file_save_tool],
output_file='outputs/ai_news_summary.txt',
create_directory=True
)
#...
```
## Conclusion
Tasks are the driving force behind the actions of agents in CrewAI.
By properly defining tasks and their outcomes, you set the stage for your AI agents to work effectively, either independently or as a collaborative unit.
Equipping tasks with appropriate tools, understanding the execution process, and following robust validation practices are crucial for maximizing CrewAI's potential,
ensuring agents are effectively prepared for their assignments and that tasks are executed as intended.

## Creating your own Tools
<Tip>
Developers can craft `custom tools` tailored for their agents needs or utilize pre-built options.
</Tip>
To create your own CrewAI tools you will need to install our extra tools package:
```bash
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
Once you do that there are two main ways for one to create a CrewAI tool:
### Subclassing `BaseTool`
```python Code
from crewai_tools import BaseTool
class MyCustomTool(BaseTool):
name: str = "Name of my tool"
description: str = "Clear description for what this tool is useful for, your agent will need this information to use it."
def _run(self, argument: str) -> str:
# Implementation goes here
return "Result from custom tool"
```
### Utilizing the `tool` Decorator
```python Code
from crewai_tools import tool
@tool("Name of my tool")
def my_tool(question: str) -> str:
"""Clear description for what this tool is useful for, your agent will need this information to use it."""
# Function logic here
return "Result from your custom tool"
```
### Custom Caching Mechanism
<Tip>
Tools can optionally implement a `cache_function` to fine-tune caching behavior. This function determines when to cache results based on specific conditions, offering granular control over caching logic.
</Tip>
```python Code
from crewai_tools import tool
@tool
def multiplication_tool(first_number: int, second_number: int) -> str:
"""Useful for when you need to multiply two numbers together."""
return first_number * second_number
def cache_func(args, result):
# In this case, we only cache the result if it's a multiple of 2
cache = result % 2 == 0
return cache
multiplication_tool.cache_function = cache_func
writer1 = Agent(
role="Writer",
goal="You write lessons of math for kids.",
backstory="You're an expert in writing and you love to teach kids but you know nothing of math.",
tools=[multiplication_tool],
allow_delegation=False,
)
#...
```
## Conclusion
Tools are pivotal in extending the capabilities of CrewAI agents, enabling them to undertake a broad spectrum of tasks and collaborate effectively.
When building solutions with CrewAI, leverage both custom and existing tools to empower your agents and enhance the AI ecosystem. Consider utilizing error handling,
caching mechanisms, and the flexibility of tool arguments to optimize your agents' performance and capabilities.

## Introduction
The training feature in CrewAI allows you to train your AI agents using the command-line interface (CLI).
By running the command `crewai train -n <n_iterations>`, you can specify the number of iterations for the training process.
During training, CrewAI utilizes techniques to optimize the performance of your agents along with human feedback.
This helps the agents improve their understanding, decision-making, and problem-solving abilities.
### Training Your Crew Using the CLI
To use the training feature, follow these steps:
1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to the directory where your CrewAI project is located.
3. Run the following command:
```shell
crewai train -n <n_iterations> <filename> (optional)
```
<Tip>
Replace `<n_iterations>` with the desired number of training iterations and `<filename>` with the appropriate filename ending with `.pkl`.
</Tip>
### Training Your Crew Programmatically
To train your crew programmatically, use the following steps:
1. Define the number of iterations for training.
2. Specify the input parameters for the training process.
3. Execute the training command within a try-except block to handle potential errors.
```python Code
n_iterations = 2
inputs = {"topic": "CrewAI Training"}
filename = "your_model.pkl"
try:
YourCrewName_Crew().crew().train(
n_iterations=n_iterations,
inputs=inputs,
filename=filename
)
except Exception as e:
raise Exception(f"An error occurred while training the crew: {e}")
```
### Key Points to Note
- **Positive Integer Requirement:** Ensure that the number of iterations (`n_iterations`) is a positive integer. The code will raise a `ValueError` if this condition is not met.
- **Filename Requirement:** Ensure that the filename ends with `.pkl`. The code will raise a `ValueError` if this condition is not met.
- **Error Handling:** The code handles subprocess errors and unexpected exceptions, providing error messages to the user.
It is important to note that the training process may take some time, depending on the complexity of your agents and will also require your feedback on each iteration.
Once the training is complete, your agents will be equipped with enhanced capabilities and knowledge, ready to tackle complex tasks and provide more consistent and valuable insights.
Remember to regularly update and retrain your agents to ensure they stay up-to-date with the latest information and advancements in the field.
Happy training with CrewAI! 🚀
