66698503b8 Replace .netrc with uv environment variables (#1541)
This commit replaces .netrc with uv environment variables for installing
tools from private repositories. To store credentials, I created a new
and reusable settings file for the CLI in
`$HOME/.config/crewai/settings.json`.

The issue with .netrc files is that they are applied system-wide and are
scoped by hostname, meaning we can't differentiate tool repositories
requests from regular requests to CrewAI's API.

title: Agents
description: Detailed guide on creating and managing agents within the CrewAI framework.
icon: robot
---
## Overview of an Agent
In the CrewAI framework, an `Agent` is an autonomous unit that can:
- Perform specific tasks
- Make decisions based on its role and goal
- Use tools to accomplish objectives
- Communicate and collaborate with other agents
- Maintain memory of interactions
- Delegate tasks when allowed
<Tip>
Think of an agent as a specialized team member with specific skills, expertise, and responsibilities. For example, a `Researcher` agent might excel at gathering and analyzing information, while a `Writer` agent might be better at creating content.
</Tip>
## Agent Attributes
| Attribute | Parameter | Type | Description |
| :-------------------------------------- | :----------------------- | :---------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Role** | `role` | `str` | Defines the agent's function and expertise within the crew. |
| **Goal** | `goal` | `str` | The individual objective that guides the agent's decision-making. |
| **Backstory** | `backstory` | `str` | Provides context and personality to the agent, enriching interactions. |
| **LLM** _(optional)_ | `llm` | `Union[str, LLM, Any]` | Language model that powers the agent. Defaults to the model specified in `OPENAI_MODEL_NAME` or "gpt-4". |
| **Tools** _(optional)_ | `tools` | `List[BaseTool]` | Capabilities or functions available to the agent. Defaults to an empty list. |
| **Function Calling LLM** _(optional)_ | `function_calling_llm` | `Optional[Any]` | Language model for tool calling, overrides crew's LLM if specified. |
| **Max Iterations** _(optional)_ | `max_iter` | `int` | Maximum iterations before the agent must provide its best answer. Default is 20. |
| **Max RPM** _(optional)_ | `max_rpm` | `Optional[int]` | Maximum requests per minute to avoid rate limits. |
| **Max Execution Time** _(optional)_ | `max_execution_time` | `Optional[int]` | Maximum time (in seconds) for task execution. |
| **Memory** _(optional)_ | `memory` | `bool` | Whether the agent should maintain memory of interactions. Default is True. |
| **Verbose** _(optional)_ | `verbose` | `bool` | Enable detailed execution logs for debugging. Default is False. |
| **Allow Delegation** _(optional)_ | `allow_delegation` | `bool` | Allow the agent to delegate tasks to other agents. Default is False. |
| **Step Callback** _(optional)_ | `step_callback` | `Optional[Any]` | Function called after each agent step, overrides crew callback. |
| **Cache** _(optional)_ | `cache` | `bool` | Enable caching for tool usage. Default is True. |
| **System Template** _(optional)_ | `system_template` | `Optional[str]` | Custom system prompt template for the agent. |
| **Prompt Template** _(optional)_ | `prompt_template` | `Optional[str]` | Custom prompt template for the agent. |
| **Response Template** _(optional)_ | `response_template` | `Optional[str]` | Custom response template for the agent. |
| **Allow Code Execution** _(optional)_ | `allow_code_execution` | `Optional[bool]` | Enable code execution for the agent. Default is False. |
| **Max Retry Limit** _(optional)_ | `max_retry_limit` | `int` | Maximum number of retries when an error occurs. Default is 2. |
| **Respect Context Window** _(optional)_ | `respect_context_window` | `bool` | Keep messages under context window size by summarizing. Default is True. |
| **Code Execution Mode** _(optional)_ | `code_execution_mode` | `Literal["safe", "unsafe"]` | Mode for code execution: 'safe' (using Docker) or 'unsafe' (direct). Default is 'safe'. |
| **Embedder Config** _(optional)_ | `embedder_config` | `Optional[Dict[str, Any]]` | Configuration for the embedder used by the agent. |
| **Knowledge Sources** _(optional)_ | `knowledge_sources` | `Optional[List[BaseKnowledgeSource]]` | Knowledge sources available to the agent. |
| **Use System Prompt** _(optional)_ | `use_system_prompt` | `Optional[bool]` | Whether to use system prompt (for o1 model support). Default is True. |
## Creating Agents
There are two ways to create agents 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 agents. We strongly recommend using this approach in your CrewAI projects.
After creating your CrewAI project as outlined in the [Installation](/installation) section, navigate to the `src/latest_ai_development/config/agents.yaml` file and modify the template to match your requirements.
<Note>
Variables in your YAML files (like `{topic}`) will be replaced with values from your inputs when running the crew:
```python Code
crew.kickoff(inputs={'topic': 'AI Agents'})
```
</Note>
Here's an example of how to configure agents using YAML:
```yaml agents.yaml
# src/latest_ai_development/config/agents.yaml
researcher:
role: >
{topic} Senior Data Researcher
goal: >
Uncover cutting-edge developments in {topic}
backstory: >
You're a seasoned researcher with a knack for uncovering the latest
developments in {topic}. Known for your ability to find the most relevant
information and present it in a clear and concise manner.
reporting_analyst:
role: >
{topic} Reporting Analyst
goal: >
Create detailed reports based on {topic} data analysis and research findings
backstory: >
You're a meticulous analyst with a keen eye for detail. You're known for
your ability to turn complex data into clear and concise reports, making
it easy for others to understand and act on the information you provide.
```
To use this YAML configuration in your code, create a crew class that inherits from `CrewBase`:
```python Code
# src/latest_ai_development/crew.py
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process
from crewai.project import CrewBase, agent, crew
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
@CrewBase
class LatestAiDevelopmentCrew():
"""LatestAiDevelopment crew"""
@agent
def researcher(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config['researcher'],
verbose=True,
tools=[SerperDevTool()]
)
@agent
def reporting_analyst(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config['reporting_analyst'],
verbose=True
)
```
<Note>
The names you use in your YAML files (`agents.yaml`) should match the method names in your Python code.
</Note>
### Direct Code Definition
You can create agents directly in code by instantiating the `Agent` class. Here's a comprehensive example showing all available parameters:
```python Code
from crewai import Agent
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
# Create an agent with all available parameters
agent = Agent(
role="Senior Data Scientist",
goal="Analyze and interpret complex datasets to provide actionable insights",
backstory="With over 10 years of experience in data science and machine learning, "
"you excel at finding patterns in complex datasets.",
llm="gpt-4", # Default: OPENAI_MODEL_NAME or "gpt-4"
function_calling_llm=None, # Optional: Separate LLM for tool calling
memory=True, # Default: True
verbose=False, # Default: False
allow_delegation=False, # Default: False
max_iter=20, # Default: 20 iterations
max_rpm=None, # Optional: Rate limit for API calls
max_execution_time=None, # Optional: Maximum execution time in seconds
max_retry_limit=2, # Default: 2 retries on error
allow_code_execution=False, # Default: False
code_execution_mode="safe", # Default: "safe" (options: "safe", "unsafe")
respect_context_window=True, # Default: True
use_system_prompt=True, # Default: True
tools=[SerperDevTool()], # Optional: List of tools
knowledge_sources=None, # Optional: List of knowledge sources
embedder_config=None, # Optional: Custom embedder configuration
system_template=None, # Optional: Custom system prompt template
prompt_template=None, # Optional: Custom prompt template
response_template=None, # Optional: Custom response template
step_callback=None, # Optional: Callback function for monitoring
)
```
Let's break down some key parameter combinations for common use cases:
#### Basic Research Agent
```python Code
research_agent = Agent(
role="Research Analyst",
goal="Find and summarize information about specific topics",
backstory="You are an experienced researcher with attention to detail",
tools=[SerperDevTool()],
verbose=True # Enable logging for debugging
)
```
#### Code Development Agent
```python Code
dev_agent = Agent(
role="Senior Python Developer",
goal="Write and debug Python code",
backstory="Expert Python developer with 10 years of experience",
allow_code_execution=True,
code_execution_mode="safe", # Uses Docker for safety
max_execution_time=300, # 5-minute timeout
max_retry_limit=3 # More retries for complex code tasks
)
```
#### Long-Running Analysis Agent
```python Code
analysis_agent = Agent(
role="Data Analyst",
goal="Perform deep analysis of large datasets",
backstory="Specialized in big data analysis and pattern recognition",
memory=True,
respect_context_window=True,
max_rpm=10, # Limit API calls
function_calling_llm="gpt-4o-mini" # Cheaper model for tool calls
)
```
#### Custom Template Agent
```python Code
custom_agent = Agent(
role="Customer Service Representative",
goal="Assist customers with their inquiries",
backstory="Experienced in customer support with a focus on satisfaction",
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|>""",
)
```
### Parameter Details
#### Critical Parameters
- `role`, `goal`, and `backstory` are required and shape the agent's behavior
- `llm` determines the language model used (default: OpenAI's GPT-4)
#### Memory and Context
- `memory`: Enable to maintain conversation history
- `respect_context_window`: Prevents token limit issues
- `knowledge_sources`: Add domain-specific knowledge bases
#### Execution Control
- `max_iter`: Maximum attempts before giving best answer
- `max_execution_time`: Timeout in seconds
- `max_rpm`: Rate limiting for API calls
- `max_retry_limit`: Retries on error
#### Code Execution
- `allow_code_execution`: Must be True to run code
- `code_execution_mode`:
- `"safe"`: Uses Docker (recommended for production)
- `"unsafe"`: Direct execution (use only in trusted environments)
#### Templates
- `system_template`: Defines agent's core behavior
- `prompt_template`: Structures input format
- `response_template`: Formats agent responses
<Note>
When using custom templates, you can use variables like `{role}`, `{goal}`, and `{input}` in your templates. These will be automatically populated during execution.
</Note>
## Agent Tools
Agents can be equipped with various tools to enhance their capabilities. CrewAI supports tools from:
- [CrewAI Toolkit](https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewai-tools)
- [LangChain Tools](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools)
Here's how to add tools to an agent:
```python Code
from crewai import Agent
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool, WikipediaTools
# Create tools
search_tool = SerperDevTool()
wiki_tool = WikipediaTools()
# Add tools to agent
researcher = Agent(
role="AI Technology Researcher",
goal="Research the latest AI developments",
tools=[search_tool, wiki_tool],
verbose=True
)
```
## Agent Memory and Context
Agents can maintain memory of their interactions and use context from previous tasks. This is particularly useful for complex workflows where information needs to be retained across multiple tasks.
```python Code
from crewai import Agent
analyst = Agent(
role="Data Analyst",
goal="Analyze and remember complex data patterns",
memory=True, # Enable memory
verbose=True
)
```
<Note>
When `memory` is enabled, the agent will maintain context across multiple interactions, improving its ability to handle complex, multi-step tasks.
</Note>
## Important Considerations and Best Practices
### Security and Code Execution
- When using `allow_code_execution`, be cautious with user input and always validate it
- Use `code_execution_mode: "safe"` (Docker) in production environments
- Consider setting appropriate `max_execution_time` limits to prevent infinite loops
### Performance Optimization
- Use `respect_context_window: true` to prevent token limit issues
- Set appropriate `max_rpm` to avoid rate limiting
- Enable `cache: true` to improve performance for repetitive tasks
- Adjust `max_iter` and `max_retry_limit` based on task complexity
### Memory and Context Management
- Use `memory: true` for tasks requiring historical context
- Leverage `knowledge_sources` for domain-specific information
- Configure `embedder_config` when using custom embedding models
- Use custom templates (`system_template`, `prompt_template`, `response_template`) for fine-grained control over agent behavior
### Agent Collaboration
- Enable `allow_delegation: true` when agents need to work together
- Use `step_callback` to monitor and log agent interactions
- Consider using different LLMs for different purposes:
- Main `llm` for complex reasoning
- `function_calling_llm` for efficient tool usage
### Model Compatibility
- Set `use_system_prompt: false` for older models that don't support system messages
- Ensure your chosen `llm` supports the features you need (like function calling)
## Troubleshooting Common Issues
1. **Rate Limiting**: If you're hitting API rate limits:
- Implement appropriate `max_rpm`
- Use caching for repetitive operations
- Consider batching requests
2. **Context Window Errors**: If you're exceeding context limits:
- Enable `respect_context_window`
- Use more efficient prompts
- Clear agent memory periodically
3. **Code Execution Issues**: If code execution fails:
- Verify Docker is installed for safe mode
- Check execution permissions
- Review code sandbox settings
4. **Memory Issues**: If agent responses seem inconsistent:
- Verify memory is enabled
- Check knowledge source configuration
- Review conversation history management
Remember that agents are most effective when configured according to their specific use case. Take time to understand your requirements and adjust these parameters accordingly.

icon: screen-users
---
## Collaboration Fundamentals
Collaboration in CrewAI is fundamental, enabling agents to combine their skills, share information, and assist each other in task execution, embodying a truly cooperative ecosystem.
- **Information Sharing**: Ensures all agents are well-informed and can contribute effectively by sharing data and findings.
- **Task Assistance**: Allows agents to seek help from peers with the required expertise for specific tasks.
- **Resource Allocation**: Optimizes task execution through the efficient distribution and sharing of resources among agents.
## Enhanced Attributes for Improved Collaboration
The `Crew` class has been enriched with several attributes to support advanced functionalities:
| Feature | Description |

## Delegation (Dividing to Conquer)
Delegation enhances functionality by allowing agents to intelligently assign tasks or seek help, thereby amplifying the crew's overall capability.
## Implementing Collaboration and Delegation
Setting up a crew involves defining the roles and capabilities of each agent. CrewAI seamlessly manages their interactions, ensuring efficient collaboration and delegation, with enhanced customization and monitoring features to adapt to various operational needs.
## Example Scenario
Consider a crew with a researcher agent tasked with data gathering and a writer agent responsible for compiling reports. The integration of advanced language model management and process flow attributes allows for more sophisticated interactions, such as the writer delegating complex research tasks to the researcher or querying specific information, thereby facilitating a seamless workflow.
## Conclusion
The integration of advanced attributes and functionalities into the CrewAI framework significantly enriches the agent collaboration ecosystem. These enhancements not only simplify interactions but also offer unprecedented flexibility and control, paving the way for sophisticated AI-driven solutions capable of tackling complex tasks through intelligent collaboration and delegation.

title: Flows
description: Learn how to create and manage AI workflows using CrewAI Flows.
icon: arrow-progress
---
## Introduction
CrewAI Flows is a powerful feature designed to streamline the creation and management of AI workflows. Flows allow developers to combine and coordinate coding tasks and Crews efficiently, providing a robust framework for building sophisticated AI automations.
Flows allow you to create structured, event-driven workflows. They provide a seamless way to connect multiple tasks, manage state, and control the flow of execution in your AI applications. With Flows, you can easily design and implement multi-step processes that leverage the full potential of CrewAI's capabilities.
1. **Simplified Workflow Creation**: Easily chain together multiple Crews and tasks to create complex AI workflows.
2. **State Management**: Flows make it super easy to manage and share state between different tasks in your workflow.
3. **Event-Driven Architecture**: Built on an event-driven model, allowing for dynamic and responsive workflows.
4. **Flexible Control Flow**: Implement conditional logic, loops, and branching within your workflows.
## Getting Started
Let's create a simple Flow where you will use OpenAI to generate a random city in one task and then use that city to generate a fun fact in another task.
```python Code
from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from litellm import completion
class ExampleFlow(Flow):
model = "gpt-4o-mini"
@start()
def generate_city(self):
print("Starting flow")
response = completion(
model=self.model,
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Return the name of a random city in the world.",
},
],
)
random_city = response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
print(f"Random City: {random_city}")
return random_city
@listen(generate_city)
def generate_fun_fact(self, random_city):
response = completion(
model=self.model,
messages=[
{
"role": "user",
"content": f"Tell me a fun fact about {random_city}",
},
],
)
fun_fact = response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
return fun_fact
flow = ExampleFlow()
result = flow.kickoff()
print(f"Generated fun fact: {result}")
```
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.
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 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.
### @listen()
The `@listen()` decorator is used to mark a method as a listener for the output of another task in the Flow. The method decorated with `@listen()` will be executed when the specified task emits an output. The method can access the output of the task it is listening to as an argument.
#### Usage
The `@listen()` decorator can be used in several ways:
1. **Listening to a Method by Name**: You can pass the name of the method you want to listen to as a string. When that method completes, the listener method will be triggered.
```python Code
@listen("generate_city")
def generate_fun_fact(self, random_city):
# Implementation
```
2. **Listening to a Method Directly**: You can pass the method itself. When that method completes, the listener method will be triggered.
```python Code
@listen(generate_city)
def generate_fun_fact(self, random_city):
# Implementation
```
### Flow Output
Accessing and handling the output of a Flow is essential for integrating your AI workflows into larger applications or systems. CrewAI Flows provide straightforward mechanisms to retrieve the final output, access intermediate results, and manage the overall state of your Flow.
#### Retrieving the Final Output
When you run a Flow, the final output is determined by the last method that completes. The `kickoff()` method returns the output of this final method.
Here's how you can access the final output:
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
class OutputExampleFlow(Flow):
@start()
def first_method(self):
return "Output from first_method"
@listen(first_method)
def second_method(self, first_output):
return f"Second method received: {first_output}"
flow = OutputExampleFlow()
final_output = flow.kickoff()
print("---- Final Output ----")
print(final_output)
````
``` text Output
---- Final Output ----
Second method received: Output from first_method
````
</CodeGroup>
In this example, the `second_method` is the last method to complete, so its output will be the final output of the Flow.
The `kickoff()` method will return the final output, which is then printed to the console.
#### Accessing and Updating State
In addition to retrieving the final output, you can also access and update the state within your Flow. The state can be used to store and share data between different methods in the Flow. After the Flow has run, you can access the state to retrieve any information that was added or updated during the execution.
Here's an example of how to update and access the state:
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
from pydantic import BaseModel
class ExampleState(BaseModel):
counter: int = 0
message: str = ""
class StateExampleFlow(Flow[ExampleState]):
@start()
def first_method(self):
self.state.message = "Hello from first_method"
self.state.counter += 1
@listen(first_method)
def second_method(self):
self.state.message += " - updated by second_method"
self.state.counter += 1
return self.state.message
flow = StateExampleFlow()
final_output = flow.kickoff()
print(f"Final Output: {final_output}")
print("Final State:")
print(flow.state)
```
```text Output
Final Output: Hello from first_method - updated by second_method
Final State:
counter=2 message='Hello from first_method - updated by second_method'
```
</CodeGroup>
In this example, the state is updated by both `first_method` and `second_method`.
After the Flow has run, you can access the final state to see the updates made by these methods.
By ensuring that the final method's output is returned and providing access to the state, CrewAI Flows make it easy to integrate the results of your AI workflows into larger applications or systems,
while also maintaining and accessing the state throughout the Flow's execution.
## Flow State Management
Managing state effectively is crucial for building reliable and maintainable AI workflows. CrewAI Flows provides robust mechanisms for both unstructured and structured state management,
allowing developers to choose the approach that best fits their application's needs.
### Unstructured State Management
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.
```python Code
from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
class UntructuredExampleFlow(Flow):
@start()
def first_method(self):
self.state.message = "Hello from structured flow"
self.state.counter = 0
@listen(first_method)
def second_method(self):
self.state.counter += 1
self.state.message += " - updated"
@listen(second_method)
def third_method(self):
self.state.counter += 1
self.state.message += " - updated again"
print(f"State after third_method: {self.state}")
flow = UntructuredExampleFlow()
flow.kickoff()
```
**Key Points:**
- **Flexibility:** You can dynamically add attributes to `self.state` without predefined constraints.
- **Simplicity:** Ideal for straightforward workflows where state structure is minimal or varies significantly.
### Structured State Management
Structured state management leverages predefined schemas to ensure consistency and type safety across the workflow.
By using models like Pydantic's `BaseModel`, developers can define the exact shape of the state, enabling better validation and auto-completion in development environments.
```python Code
from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
from pydantic import BaseModel
class ExampleState(BaseModel):
counter: int = 0
message: str = ""
class StructuredExampleFlow(Flow[ExampleState]):
@start()
def first_method(self):
self.state.message = "Hello from structured flow"
@listen(first_method)
def second_method(self):
self.state.counter += 1
self.state.message += " - updated"
@listen(second_method)
def third_method(self):
self.state.counter += 1
self.state.message += " - updated again"
print(f"State after third_method: {self.state}")
flow = StructuredExampleFlow()
flow.kickoff()
```
**Key Points:**
- **Defined Schema:** `ExampleState` clearly outlines the state structure, enhancing code readability and maintainability.
- **Type Safety:** Leveraging Pydantic ensures that state attributes adhere to the specified types, reducing runtime errors.
- **Auto-Completion:** IDEs can provide better auto-completion and error checking based on the defined state model.
### Choosing Between Unstructured and Structured State Management
- **Use Unstructured State Management when:**
- The workflow's state is simple or highly dynamic.
- Flexibility is prioritized over strict state definitions.
- Rapid prototyping is required without the overhead of defining schemas.
- **Use Structured State Management when:**
- The workflow requires a well-defined and consistent state structure.
- Type safety and validation are important for your application's reliability.
- You want to leverage IDE features like auto-completion and type checking for better developer experience.
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 Control
### Conditional Logic: `or`
The `or_` function in Flows allows you to listen to multiple methods and trigger the listener method when any of the specified methods emit an output.
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, or_, start
class OrExampleFlow(Flow):
@start()
def start_method(self):
return "Hello from the start method"
@listen(start_method)
def second_method(self):
return "Hello from the second method"
@listen(or_(start_method, second_method))
def logger(self, result):
print(f"Logger: {result}")
flow = OrExampleFlow()
flow.kickoff()
```
```text Output
Logger: Hello from the start method
Logger: Hello from the second method
```
</CodeGroup>
When you run this Flow, the `logger` method will be triggered by the output of either the `start_method` or the `second_method`.
The `or_` function is used to listen to multiple methods and trigger the listener method when any of the specified methods emit an output.
### Conditional Logic: `and`
The `and_` function in Flows allows you to listen to multiple methods and trigger the listener method only when all the specified methods emit an output.
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, and_, listen, start
class AndExampleFlow(Flow):
@start()
def start_method(self):
self.state["greeting"] = "Hello from the start method"
@listen(start_method)
def second_method(self):
self.state["joke"] = "What do computers eat? Microchips."
@listen(and_(start_method, second_method))
def logger(self):
print("---- Logger ----")
print(self.state)
flow = AndExampleFlow()
flow.kickoff()
```
```text Output
---- Logger ----
{'greeting': 'Hello from the start method', 'joke': 'What do computers eat? Microchips.'}
```
</CodeGroup>
When you run this Flow, the `logger` method will be triggered only when both the `start_method` and the `second_method` emit an output.
The `and_` function is used to listen to multiple methods and trigger the listener method only when all the specified methods emit an output.
### Router
The `@router()` decorator in Flows allows you to define conditional routing logic based on the output of a method.
You can specify different routes based on the output of the method, allowing you to control the flow of execution dynamically.
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
import random
from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, router, start
from pydantic import BaseModel
class ExampleState(BaseModel):
success_flag: bool = False
class RouterFlow(Flow[ExampleState]):
@start()
def start_method(self):
print("Starting the structured flow")
random_boolean = random.choice([True, False])
self.state.success_flag = random_boolean
@router(start_method)
def second_method(self):
if self.state.success_flag:
return "success"
else:
return "failed"
@listen("success")
def third_method(self):
print("Third method running")
@listen("failed")
def fourth_method(self):
print("Fourth method running")
flow = RouterFlow()
flow.kickoff()
```
```text Output
Starting the structured flow
Third method running
Fourth method running
```
</CodeGroup>
In the above example, the `start_method` generates a random boolean value and sets it in the state.
The `second_method` uses the `@router()` decorator to define conditional routing logic based on the value of the boolean.
If the boolean is `True`, the method returns `"success"`, and if it is `False`, the method returns `"failed"`.
The `third_method` and `fourth_method` listen to the output of the `second_method` and execute based on the returned value.
When you run this Flow, the output will change based on the random boolean value generated by the `start_method`.
## Adding Crews to Flows
Creating a flow with multiple crews in CrewAI is straightforward.
You can generate a new CrewAI project that includes all the scaffolding needed to create a flow with multiple crews by running the following command:
```bash
crewai create flow name_of_flow
```
This command will generate a new CrewAI project with the necessary folder structure. The generated project includes a prebuilt crew called `poem_crew` that is already working. You can use this crew as a template by copying, pasting, and editing it to create other crews.
### Folder Structure
After running the `crewai create flow name_of_flow` command, you will see a folder structure similar to the following:
| Directory/File | Description |
| :--------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `name_of_flow/` | Root directory for the flow. |
| ├── `crews/` | Contains directories for specific crews. |
| │ └── `poem_crew/` | Directory for the "poem_crew" with its configurations and scripts. |
| │ ├── `config/` | Configuration files directory for the "poem_crew". |
| │ │ ├── `agents.yaml` | YAML file defining the agents for "poem_crew". |
| │ │ └── `tasks.yaml` | YAML file defining the tasks for "poem_crew". |
| │ ├── `poem_crew.py` | Script for "poem_crew" functionality. |
| ├── `tools/` | Directory for additional tools used in the flow. |
| │ └── `custom_tool.py` | Custom tool implementation. |
| ├── `main.py` | Main script for running the flow. |
| ├── `README.md` | Project description and instructions. |
| ├── `pyproject.toml` | Configuration file for project dependencies and settings. |
| └── `.gitignore` | Specifies files and directories to ignore in version control. |
### Building Your Crews
In the `crews` folder, you can define multiple crews. Each crew will have its own folder containing configuration files and the crew definition file. For example, the `poem_crew` folder contains:
- `config/agents.yaml`: Defines the agents for the crew.
- `config/tasks.yaml`: Defines the tasks for the crew.
- `poem_crew.py`: Contains the crew definition, including agents, tasks, and the crew itself.
You can copy, paste, and edit the `poem_crew` to create other crews.
### Connecting Crews in `main.py`
The `main.py` file is where you create your flow and connect the crews together. You can define your flow by using the `Flow` class and the decorators `@start` and `@listen` to specify the flow of execution.
Here's an example of how you can connect the `poem_crew` in the `main.py` file:
```python Code
#!/usr/bin/env python
from random import randint
from pydantic import BaseModel
from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
from .crews.poem_crew.poem_crew import PoemCrew
class PoemState(BaseModel):
sentence_count: int = 1
poem: str = ""
class PoemFlow(Flow[PoemState]):
@start()
def generate_sentence_count(self):
print("Generating sentence count")
self.state.sentence_count = randint(1, 5)
@listen(generate_sentence_count)
def generate_poem(self):
print("Generating poem")
result = PoemCrew().crew().kickoff(inputs={"sentence_count": self.state.sentence_count})
print("Poem generated", result.raw)
self.state.poem = result.raw
@listen(generate_poem)
def save_poem(self):
print("Saving poem")
with open("poem.txt", "w") as f:
f.write(self.state.poem)
def kickoff():
poem_flow = PoemFlow()
poem_flow.kickoff()
def plot():
poem_flow = PoemFlow()
poem_flow.plot()
if __name__ == "__main__":
kickoff()
```
In this example, the `PoemFlow` class defines a flow that generates a sentence count, uses the `PoemCrew` to generate a poem, and then saves the poem to a file. The flow is kicked off by calling the `kickoff()` method.
### Running the Flow
(Optional) Before running the flow, you can install the dependencies by running:
```bash
crewai install
```
Once all of the dependencies are installed, you need to activate the virtual environment by running:
```bash
source .venv/bin/activate
```
After activating the virtual environment, you can run the flow by executing one of the following commands:
```bash
crewai flow kickoff
```
or
```bash
uv run kickoff
```
The flow will execute, and you should see the output in the console.
## Plot Flows
Visualizing your AI workflows can provide valuable insights into the structure and execution paths of your flows. CrewAI offers a powerful visualization tool that allows you to generate interactive plots of your flows, making it easier to understand and optimize your AI workflows.
### What are Plots?
Plots in CrewAI are graphical representations of your AI workflows. They display the various tasks, their connections, and the flow of data between them. This visualization helps in understanding the sequence of operations, identifying bottlenecks, and ensuring that the workflow logic aligns with your expectations.
### How to Generate a Plot
CrewAI provides two convenient methods to generate plots of your flows:
#### Option 1: Using the `plot()` Method
If you are working directly with a flow instance, you can generate a plot by calling the `plot()` method on your flow object. This method will create an HTML file containing the interactive plot of your flow.
```python Code
# Assuming you have a flow instance
flow.plot("my_flow_plot")
```
This will generate a file named `my_flow_plot.html` in your current directory. You can open this file in a web browser to view the interactive plot.
#### Option 2: Using the Command Line
If you are working within a structured CrewAI project, you can generate a plot using the command line. This is particularly useful for larger projects where you want to visualize the entire flow setup.
```bash
crewai flow plot
```
This command will generate an HTML file with the plot of your flow, similar to the `plot()` method. The file will be saved in your project directory, and you can open it in a web browser to explore the flow.
### Understanding the Plot
The generated plot will display nodes representing the tasks in your flow, with directed edges indicating the flow of execution. The plot is interactive, allowing you to zoom in and out, and hover over nodes to see additional details.
By visualizing your flows, you can gain a clearer understanding of the workflow's structure, making it easier to debug, optimize, and communicate your AI processes to others.
### Conclusion
Plotting your flows is a powerful feature of CrewAI that enhances your ability to design and manage complex AI workflows. Whether you choose to use the `plot()` method or the command line, generating plots will provide you with a visual representation of your workflows, aiding in both development and presentation.
## Next Steps
If you're interested in exploring additional examples of flows, we have a variety of recommendations in our examples repository. Here are four specific flow examples, each showcasing unique use cases to help you match your current problem type to a specific example:
1. **Email Auto Responder Flow**: This example demonstrates an infinite loop where a background job continually runs to automate email responses. It's a great use case for tasks that need to be performed repeatedly without manual intervention. [View Example](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/email_auto_responder_flow)
2. **Lead Score Flow**: This flow showcases adding human-in-the-loop feedback and handling different conditional branches using the router. It's an excellent example of how to incorporate dynamic decision-making and human oversight into your workflows. [View Example](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/lead-score-flow)
3. **Write a Book Flow**: This example excels at chaining multiple crews together, where the output of one crew is used by another. Specifically, one crew outlines an entire book, and another crew generates chapters based on the outline. Eventually, everything is connected to produce a complete book. This flow is perfect for complex, multi-step processes that require coordination between different tasks. [View Example](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/write_a_book_with_flows)
4. **Meeting Assistant Flow**: This flow demonstrates how to broadcast one event to trigger multiple follow-up actions. For instance, after a meeting is completed, the flow can update a Trello board, send a Slack message, and save the results. It's a great example of handling multiple outcomes from a single event, making it ideal for comprehensive task management and notification systems. [View Example](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/meeting_assistant_flow)

# Using Knowledge in CrewAI
## What is Knowledge?
Knowledge in CrewAI is a powerful system that allows AI agents to access and utilize external information sources during their tasks. Think of it as giving your agents a reference library they can consult while working.
<Info>
Key benefits of using Knowledge:
- Enhance agents with domain-specific information
- Support decisions with real-world data
- Maintain context across conversations
- Ground responses in factual information
</Info>
## Supported Knowledge Sources
CrewAI supports various types of knowledge sources out of the box:
<CardGroup cols={2}>
<Card title="Text Sources" icon="text">
- Raw strings
- Text files (.txt)
- PDF documents
</Card>
<Card title="Structured Data" icon="table">
- CSV files
- Excel spreadsheets
- JSON documents
</Card>
</CardGroup>
## Quick Start
Here's a simple example using string-based knowledge:
```python
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai.knowledge import StringKnowledgeSource
# 1. Create a knowledge source
product_info = StringKnowledgeSource(
content="""Our product X1000 has the following features:
- 10-hour battery life
- Water-resistant
- Available in black and silver
Price: $299.99""",
metadata={"category": "product"}
)
# 2. Create an agent with knowledge
sales_agent = Agent(
role="Sales Representative",
goal="Accurately answer customer questions about products",
backstory="Expert in product features and customer service",
knowledge_sources=[product_info] # Attach knowledge to agent
)
# 3. Create a task
answer_task = Task(
description="Answer: What colors is the X1000 available in and how much does it cost?",
agent=sales_agent
)
# 4. Create and run the crew
crew = Crew(
agents=[sales_agent],
tasks=[answer_task]
)
result = crew.kickoff()
```
## Knowledge Configuration
### Collection Names
Knowledge sources are organized into collections for better management:
```python
# Create knowledge sources with specific collections
tech_specs = StringKnowledgeSource(
content="Technical specifications...",
collection_name="product_tech_specs"
)
pricing_info = StringKnowledgeSource(
content="Pricing information...",
collection_name="product_pricing"
)
```
### Metadata and Filtering
Add metadata to organize and filter knowledge:
```python
knowledge_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
content="Product details...",
metadata={
"category": "electronics",
"product_line": "premium",
"last_updated": "2024-03"
}
)
```
### Chunking Configuration
Control how your content is split for processing:
```python
knowledge_source = PDFKnowledgeSource(
file_path="product_manual.pdf",
chunk_size=2000, # Characters per chunk
chunk_overlap=200 # Overlap between chunks
)
```
## Advanced Usage
### Custom Knowledge Sources
Create your own knowledge source by extending the base class:
```python
from crewai.knowledge.source import BaseKnowledgeSource
class APIKnowledgeSource(BaseKnowledgeSource):
def __init__(self, api_endpoint: str, **kwargs):
super().__init__(**kwargs)
self.api_endpoint = api_endpoint
def load_content(self):
# Implement API data fetching
response = requests.get(self.api_endpoint)
return response.json()
def add(self):
content = self.load_content()
# Process and store content
self.save_documents({"source": "api"})
```
### Embedder Configuration
Customize the embedding process:
```python
crew = Crew(
agents=[agent],
tasks=[task],
knowledge_sources=[source],
embedder={
"provider": "ollama",
"config": {"model": "nomic-embed-text:latest"},
}
)
```
### Referencing Sources
You can reference knowledge sources by their collection name or metadata.
* Add a directory to your crew project called `knowledge`:
* File paths in knowledge can be referenced relative to the `knowledge` directory.
Example:
A file inside the `knowledge` directory called `example.txt` can be referenced as `example.txt`.
```python
source = TextFileKnowledgeSource(
file_path="example.txt", # or /example.txt
collection_name="example"
)
crew = Crew(
agents=[agent],
tasks=[task],
knowledge_sources=[source],
)
```

title: 'LLMs'
description: 'A comprehensive guide to configuring and using Large Language Models (LLMs) in your CrewAI projects'
icon: 'microchip-ai'
---
<Note>
CrewAI integrates with multiple LLM providers through LiteLLM, giving you the flexibility to choose the right model for your specific use case. This guide will help you understand how to configure and use different LLM providers in your CrewAI projects.
</Note>
## What are LLMs?
Large Language Models (LLMs) are the core intelligence behind CrewAI agents. They enable agents to understand context, make decisions, and generate human-like responses. Here's what you need to know:
<CardGroup cols={2}>
<Card title="LLM Basics" icon="brain">
Large Language Models are AI systems trained on vast amounts of text data. They power the intelligence of your CrewAI agents, enabling them to understand and generate human-like text.
</Card>
<Card title="Context Window" icon="window">
The context window determines how much text an LLM can process at once. Larger windows (e.g., 128K tokens) allow for more context but may be more expensive and slower.
</Card>
<Card title="Temperature" icon="temperature-three-quarters">
Temperature (0.0 to 1.0) controls response randomness. Lower values (e.g., 0.2) produce more focused, deterministic outputs, while higher values (e.g., 0.8) increase creativity and variability.
</Card>
<Card title="Provider Selection" icon="server">
Each LLM provider (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) offers different models with varying capabilities, pricing, and features. Choose based on your needs for accuracy, speed, and cost.
</Card>
</CardGroup>

title: Memory
description: Leveraging memory systems in the CrewAI framework to enhance agent capabilities.
icon: database
---
## 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. |
| **User Memory** | Stores user-specific information and preferences, enhancing personalization and user experience. |
## 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,
)
```
## Integrating Mem0 for Enhanced User Memory
[Mem0](https://mem0.ai/) is a self-improving memory layer for LLM applications, enabling personalized AI experiences.
To include user-specific memory you can get your API key [here](https://app.mem0.ai/dashboard/api-keys) and refer the [docs](https://docs.mem0.ai/platform/quickstart#4-1-create-memories) for adding user preferences.
```python Code
import os
from crewai import Crew, Process
from mem0 import MemoryClient
# Set environment variables for Mem0
os.environ["MEM0_API_KEY"] = "m0-xx"
# Step 1: Record preferences based on past conversation or user input
client = MemoryClient()
messages = [
{"role": "user", "content": "Hi there! I'm planning a vacation and could use some advice."},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "Hello! I'd be happy to help with your vacation planning. What kind of destination do you prefer?"},
{"role": "user", "content": "I am more of a beach person than a mountain person."},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "That's interesting. Do you like hotels or Airbnb?"},
{"role": "user", "content": "I like Airbnb more."},
]
client.add(messages, user_id="john")
# Step 2: Create a Crew with User Memory
crew = Crew(
agents=[...],
tasks=[...],
verbose=True,
process=Process.sequential,
memory=True,
memory_config={
"provider": "mem0",
"config": {"user_id": "john"},
},
)
```
## Additional Embedding Providers
### Using OpenAI embeddings (already default)
```python Code
from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process

**Note:** Ensure `my_agents` and `my_tasks` are defined prior to creating a `Crew` object, and for the hierarchical process, either `manager_llm` or `manager_agent` is also required.
## Sequential Process
This method mirrors dynamic team workflows, progressing through tasks in a thoughtful and systematic manner. Task execution follows the predefined order in the task list, with the output of one task serving as context for the next.
To customize task context, utilize the `context` parameter in the `Task` class to specify outputs that should be used as context for subsequent tasks.
## Hierarchical Process
Emulates a corporate hierarchy, CrewAI allows specifying a custom manager agent or automatically creates one, requiring the specification of a manager language model (`manager_llm`). This agent oversees task execution, including planning, delegation, and validation. Tasks are not pre-assigned; the manager allocates tasks to agents based on their capabilities, reviews outputs, and assesses task completion.
## Process Class: Detailed Overview
The `Process` class is implemented as an enumeration (`Enum`), ensuring type safety and restricting process values to the defined types (`sequential`, `hierarchical`). The consensual process is planned for future inclusion, emphasizing our commitment to continuous development and innovation.
## Conclusion
The structured collaboration facilitated by processes within CrewAI is crucial for enabling systematic teamwork among agents. This documentation has been updated to reflect the latest features, enhancements, and the planned integration of the Consensual Process, ensuring users have access to the most current and comprehensive information.

title: Tasks
description: Detailed guide on managing and creating tasks within the CrewAI framework.
icon: list-check
---
## Overview of a Task
In the CrewAI framework, a `Task` is a specific assignment completed by an `Agent`.
Tasks 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 Execution Flow
Tasks can be executed in two ways:
- **Sequential**: Tasks are executed in the order they are defined
- **Hierarchical**: Tasks are assigned to agents based on their roles and expertise
The execution flow is defined when creating the crew:
```python Code
crew = Crew(
agents=[agent1, agent2],
tasks=[task1, task2],
process=Process.sequential # or Process.hierarchical
)
```
## Task Attributes
| Attribute | Parameters | Type | Description |
| :------------------------------- | :---------------- | :---------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Description** | `description` | `str` | A clear, concise statement of what the task entails. |
| **Expected Output** | `expected_output` | `str` | A detailed description of what the task's completion looks like. |
| **Name** _(optional)_ | `name` | `Optional[str]` | A name identifier for the task. |
| **Agent** _(optional)_ | `agent` | `Optional[BaseAgent]` | The agent responsible for executing the task. |
| **Tools** _(optional)_ | `tools` | `List[BaseTool]` | The tools/resources the agent is limited to use for this task. |
| **Context** _(optional)_ | `context` | `Optional[List["Task"]]` | Other tasks whose outputs will be used as context for this task. |
| **Async Execution** _(optional)_ | `async_execution` | `Optional[bool]` | Whether the task should be executed asynchronously. Defaults to False. |
| **Config** _(optional)_ | `config` | `Optional[Dict[str, Any]]` | Task-specific configuration parameters. |
| **Output File** _(optional)_ | `output_file` | `Optional[str]` | File path for storing the task output. |
| **Output JSON** _(optional)_ | `output_json` | `Optional[Type[BaseModel]]` | A Pydantic model to structure the JSON output. |
| **Output Pydantic** _(optional)_ | `output_pydantic` | `Optional[Type[BaseModel]]` | A Pydantic model for task output. |
| **Callback** _(optional)_ | `callback` | `Optional[Any]` | Function/object to be executed after task completion. |
## Creating Tasks
There are two ways to create tasks 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 tasks. We strongly recommend using this approach to define tasks in your CrewAI projects.
After creating your CrewAI project as outlined in the [Installation](/installation) section, navigate to the `src/latest_ai_development/config/tasks.yaml` file and modify the template to match your specific task requirements.
<Note>
Variables in your YAML files (like `{topic}`) will be replaced with values from your inputs when running the crew:
```python Code
crew.kickoff(inputs={'topic': 'AI Agents'})
```
</Note>
Here's an example of how to configure tasks using YAML:
```yaml tasks.yaml
research_task:
description: >
Conduct a thorough research about {topic}
Make sure you find any interesting and relevant information given
the current year is 2024.
expected_output: >
A list with 10 bullet points of the most relevant information about {topic}
agent: researcher
reporting_task:
description: >
Review the context you got and expand each topic into a full section for a report.
Make sure the report is detailed and contains any and all relevant information.
expected_output: >
A fully fledge reports with the mains topics, each with a full section of information.
Formatted as markdown without '```'
agent: reporting_analyst
output_file: report.md
```
To use this YAML configuration in your code, create a crew class that inherits from `CrewBase`:
```python crew.py
# src/latest_ai_development/crew.py
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
from crewai.project import CrewBase, agent, crew, task
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
@CrewBase
class LatestAiDevelopmentCrew():
"""LatestAiDevelopment crew"""
@agent
def researcher(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config['researcher'],
verbose=True,
tools=[SerperDevTool()]
)
@agent
def reporting_analyst(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config['reporting_analyst'],
verbose=True
)
@task
def research_task(self) -> Task:
return Task(
config=self.tasks_config['research_task']
)
@task
def reporting_task(self) -> Task:
return Task(
config=self.tasks_config['reporting_task']
)
@crew
def crew(self) -> Crew:
return Crew(
agents=[
self.researcher(),
self.reporting_analyst()
],
tasks=[
self.research_task(),
self.reporting_task()
],
process=Process.sequential
)
```
<Note>
The names you use in your YAML files (`agents.yaml` and `tasks.yaml`) should match the method names in your Python code.
</Note>
### Direct Code Definition (Alternative)
Alternatively, you can define tasks directly in your code without using YAML configuration:
```python task.py
from crewai import Task
research_task = Task(
description="""
Conduct a thorough research about AI Agents.
Make sure you find any interesting and relevant information given
the current year is 2024.
""",
expected_output="""
A list with 10 bullet points of the most relevant information about AI Agents
""",
agent=researcher
)
reporting_task = Task(
description="""
Review the context you got and expand each topic into a full section for a report.
Make sure the report is detailed and contains any and all relevant information.
""",
expected_output="""
A fully fledge reports with the mains topics, each with a full section of information.
Formatted as markdown without '```'
""",
agent=reporting_analyst,
output_file="report.md"
)
```
<Tip>
Directly specify an `agent` for assignment or let the `hierarchical` CrewAI's process decide based on roles, availability, etc.
</Tip>
## Task Output
Understanding task outputs is crucial for building effective AI workflows. CrewAI provides a structured way to handle task results through the `TaskOutput` class, which supports multiple output formats and can be easily passed between tasks.
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}")
```
## Task Dependencies and Context
Tasks can depend on the output of other tasks using the `context` attribute. For example:
```python Code
research_task = Task(
description="Research the latest developments in AI",
expected_output="A list of recent AI developments",
agent=researcher
)
analysis_task = Task(
description="Analyze the research findings and identify key trends",
expected_output="Analysis report of AI trends",
agent=analyst,
context=[research_task] # This task will wait for research_task to complete
)
```
## Getting Structured Consistent Outputs from Tasks
When you need to ensure that a task outputs a structured and consistent format, you can use the `output_pydantic` or `output_json` properties on a task. These properties allow you to define the expected output structure, making it easier to parse and utilize the results in your application.
<Note>
It's also important to note that the output of the final task of a crew becomes the final output of the actual crew itself.
</Note>
### Using `output_pydantic`
The `output_pydantic` property allows you to define a Pydantic model that the task output should conform to. This ensures that the output is not only structured but also validated according to the Pydantic model.
Heres an example demonstrating how to use output_pydantic:
```python Code
import json
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
from pydantic import BaseModel
class Blog(BaseModel):
title: str
content: str
blog_agent = Agent(
role="Blog Content Generator Agent",
goal="Generate a blog title and content",
backstory="""You are an expert content creator, skilled in crafting engaging and informative blog posts.""",
verbose=False,
allow_delegation=False,
llm="gpt-4o",
)
task1 = Task(
description="""Create a blog title and content on a given topic. Make sure the content is under 200 words.""",
expected_output="A compelling blog title and well-written content.",
agent=blog_agent,
output_pydantic=Blog,
)
# Instantiate your crew with a sequential process
crew = Crew(
agents=[blog_agent],
tasks=[task1],
verbose=True,
process=Process.sequential,
)
result = crew.kickoff()
# Option 1: Accessing Properties Using Dictionary-Style Indexing
print("Accessing Properties - Option 1")
title = result["title"]
content = result["content"]
print("Title:", title)
print("Content:", content)
# Option 2: Accessing Properties Directly from the Pydantic Model
print("Accessing Properties - Option 2")
title = result.pydantic.title
content = result.pydantic.content
print("Title:", title)
print("Content:", content)
# Option 3: Accessing Properties Using the to_dict() Method
print("Accessing Properties - Option 3")
output_dict = result.to_dict()
title = output_dict["title"]
content = output_dict["content"]
print("Title:", title)
print("Content:", content)
# Option 4: Printing the Entire Blog Object
print("Accessing Properties - Option 5")
print("Blog:", result)
```
In this example:
* A Pydantic model Blog is defined with title and content fields.
* The task task1 uses the output_pydantic property to specify that its output should conform to the Blog model.
* After executing the crew, you can access the structured output in multiple ways as shown.
#### Explanation of Accessing the Output
1. Dictionary-Style Indexing: You can directly access the fields using result["field_name"]. This works because the CrewOutput class implements the __getitem__ method.
2. Directly from Pydantic Model: Access the attributes directly from the result.pydantic object.
3. Using to_dict() Method: Convert the output to a dictionary and access the fields.
4. Printing the Entire Object: Simply print the result object to see the structured output.
### Using `output_json`
The `output_json` property allows you to define the expected output in JSON format. This ensures that the task's output is a valid JSON structure that can be easily parsed and used in your application.
Heres an example demonstrating how to use `output_json`:
```python Code
import json
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
from pydantic import BaseModel
# Define the Pydantic model for the blog
class Blog(BaseModel):
title: str
content: str
# Define the agent
blog_agent = Agent(
role="Blog Content Generator Agent",
goal="Generate a blog title and content",
backstory="""You are an expert content creator, skilled in crafting engaging and informative blog posts.""",
verbose=False,
allow_delegation=False,
llm="gpt-4o",
)
# Define the task with output_json set to the Blog model
task1 = Task(
description="""Create a blog title and content on a given topic. Make sure the content is under 200 words.""",
expected_output="A JSON object with 'title' and 'content' fields.",
agent=blog_agent,
output_json=Blog,
)
# Instantiate the crew with a sequential process
crew = Crew(
agents=[blog_agent],
tasks=[task1],
verbose=True,
process=Process.sequential,
)
# Kickoff the crew to execute the task
result = crew.kickoff()
# Option 1: Accessing Properties Using Dictionary-Style Indexing
print("Accessing Properties - Option 1")
title = result["title"]
content = result["content"]
print("Title:", title)
print("Content:", content)
# Option 2: Printing the Entire Blog Object
print("Accessing Properties - Option 2")
print("Blog:", result)
```
In this example:
* A Pydantic model Blog is defined with title and content fields, which is used to specify the structure of the JSON output.
* The task task1 uses the output_json property to indicate that it expects a JSON output conforming to the Blog model.
* After executing the crew, you can access the structured JSON output in two ways as shown.
#### Explanation of Accessing the Output
1. Accessing Properties Using Dictionary-Style Indexing: You can access the fields directly using result["field_name"]. This is possible because the CrewOutput class implements the __getitem__ method, allowing you to treat the output like a dictionary. In this option, we're retrieving the title and content from the result.
2. Printing the Entire Blog Object: By printing result, you get the string representation of the CrewOutput object. Since the __str__ method is implemented to return the JSON output, this will display the entire output as a formatted string representing the Blog object.
---
By using output_pydantic or output_json, you ensure that your tasks produce outputs in a consistent and structured format, making it easier to process and utilize the data within your application or across multiple tasks.
## 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="Research the latest developments in AI",
expected_output="A list of recent AI developments",
async_execution=True,
agent=research_agent,
tools=[search_tool]
)
research_ops_task = Task(
description="Research the latest developments in AI Ops",
expected_output="A list of recent AI Ops developments",
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.

title: Testing
description: Learn how to test your CrewAI Crew and evaluate their performance.
icon: vial
---
## Introduction
Testing is a crucial part of the development process, and it is essential to ensure that your crew is performing as expected. With crewAI, you can easily test your crew and evaluate its performance using the built-in testing capabilities.
### Using the Testing Feature
We added the CLI command `crewai test` to make it easy to test your crew. This command will run your crew for a specified number of iterations and provide detailed performance metrics. The parameters are `n_iterations` and `model`, which are optional and default to 2 and `gpt-4o-mini` respectively. For now, the only provider available is OpenAI.
```bash
crewai test
```
If you want to run more iterations or use a different model, you can specify the parameters like this:
```bash
crewai test --n_iterations 5 --model gpt-4o
```
or using the short forms:
```bash
crewai test -n 5 -m gpt-4o
```
When you run the `crewai test` command, the crew will be executed for the specified number of iterations, and the performance metrics will be displayed at the end of the run.
A table of scores at the end will show the performance of the crew in terms of the following metrics:
<center>**Tasks Scores (1-10 Higher is better)**</center>
| Tasks/Crew/Agents | Run 1 | Run 2 | Avg. Total | Agents | Additional Info |
|:------------------|:-----:|:-----:|:----------:|:------------------------------:|:---------------------------------|
| Task 1 | 9.0 | 9.5 | **9.2** | Professional Insights | |
| | | | | Researcher | |
| Task 2 | 9.0 | 10.0 | **9.5** | Company Profile Investigator | |
| Task 3 | 9.0 | 9.0 | **9.0** | Automation Insights | |
| | | | | Specialist | |
| Task 4 | 9.0 | 9.0 | **9.0** | Final Report Compiler | Automation Insights Specialist |
| Crew | 9.00 | 9.38 | **9.2** | | |
| Execution Time (s) | 126 | 145 | **135** | | |
The example above shows the test results for two runs of the crew with two tasks, with the average total score for each task and the crew as a whole.

## Creating your own Tools
<Tip>
Developers can craft `custom tools` tailored for their agents needs or
utilize pre-built options.
</Tip>
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.

## 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.
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
# Example: Creating an agent with all attributes
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
)
```
## 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
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
!!! note "Extend your Third Party Agents like LlamaIndex, Langchain, Autogen or fully custom agents using the the crewai's BaseAgent class."
BaseAgent includes attributes and methods required to integrate with your crews to run and delegate tasks to other agents within your own crew.
CrewAI is a universal multi-agent framework that allows for all agents to work together to automate tasks and solve problems.
```py
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 `Crew` class has been enriched with several attributes to support advanced functionalities:
- **Language Model Management (`manager_llm`, `function_calling_llm`)**: Manages language models for executing tasks and tools, facilitating sophisticated agent-tool interactions. Note that while `manager_llm` is mandatory for hierarchical processes to ensure proper execution flow, `function_calling_llm` is optional, with a default value provided for streamlined tool interaction.
- **Custom Manager Agent (`manager_agent`)**: Allows specifying a custom agent as the manager instead of using the default manager provided by CrewAI.
- **Process Flow (`process`)**: Defines the execution logic (e.g., sequential, hierarchical) to streamline task distribution and execution.
- **Verbose Logging (`verbose`)**: Offers detailed logging capabilities for monitoring and debugging purposes. It supports both integer and boolean types to indicate the verbosity level. For example, setting `verbose` to 1 might enable basic logging, whereas setting it to True enables more detailed logs.
- **Rate Limiting (`max_rpm`)**: Ensures efficient utilization of resources by limiting requests per minute. Guidelines for setting `max_rpm` should consider the complexity of tasks and the expected load on resources.
- **Internationalization / Customization Support (`language`, `prompt_file`)**: Facilitates full customization of the inner prompts, enhancing global usability. Supported languages and the process for utilizing the `prompt_file` attribute for customization should be clearly documented. [Example of file](https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewAI/blob/main/src/crewai/translations/en.json)
- **Execution and Output Handling (`full_output`)**: Distinguishes between full and final outputs for nuanced control over task results. Examples showcasing the difference in outputs can aid in understanding the practical implications of this attribute.
- **Callback and Telemetry (`step_callback`, `task_callback`)**: Integrates callbacks for step-wise and task-level execution monitoring, alongside telemetry for performance analytics. The purpose and usage of `task_callback` alongside `step_callback` for granular monitoring should be clearly explained.
- **Crew Sharing (`share_crew`)**: Enables sharing of crew information with CrewAI for continuous improvement and training models. The privacy implications and benefits of this feature, including how it contributes to model improvement, should be outlined.
- **Usage Metrics (`usage_metrics`)**: Stores all metrics for the language model (LLM) usage during all tasks' execution, providing insights into operational efficiency and areas for improvement. Detailed information on accessing and interpreting these metrics for performance analysis should be provided.
- **Memory Usage (`memory`)**: Indicates whether the crew should use memory to store memories of its execution, enhancing task execution and agent learning.
- **Embedder Configuration (`embedder`)**: Specifies the configuration for the embedder to be used by the crew for understanding and generating language. This attribute supports customization of the language model provider.
- **Cache Management (`cache`)**: Determines whether the crew should use a cache to store the results of tool executions, optimizing performance.
- **Output Logging (`output_log_file`)**: Specifies the file path for logging the output of the crew's execution.
- **Planning Mode (`planning`)**: Allows crews to plan their actions before executing tasks by setting `planning=True` when creating the `Crew` instance. This feature enhances coordination and efficiency.
- **Replay Feature**: Introduces a new CLI for listing tasks from the last run and replaying from a specific task, enhancing task management and troubleshooting.
## Delegation: Dividing to Conquer
Delegation enhances functionality by allowing agents to intelligently assign tasks or seek help, thereby amplifying the crew's overall capability.
## Implementing Collaboration and Delegation
Setting up a crew involves defining the roles and capabilities of each agent. CrewAI seamlessly manages their interactions, ensuring efficient collaboration and delegation, with enhanced customization and monitoring features to adapt to various operational needs.
## Example Scenario
Consider a crew with a researcher agent tasked with data gathering and a writer agent responsible for compiling reports. The integration of advanced language model management and process flow attributes allows for more sophisticated interactions, such as the writer delegating complex research tasks to the researcher or querying specific information, thereby facilitating a seamless workflow.
## Conclusion
The integration of advanced attributes and functionalities into the CrewAI framework significantly enriches the agent collaboration ecosystem. These enhancements not only simplify interactions but also offer unprecedented flexibility and control, paving the way for sophisticated AI-driven solutions capable of tackling complex tasks through intelligent collaboration and delegation.

- [Best Practices](#best-practices)
- [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
## 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
agent = Agent(llm="gpt-4o", ...)
```
### 3. LLM Instance
List of [more providers](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers).
```python
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
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
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 | The name of the model to use (e.g., "gpt-4", "gpt-3.5-turbo", "ollama/llama3.1", [more providers](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers)) |
| `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) to stop generation |
| `max_tokens` | int | Maximum number of tokens to generate |
| `presence_penalty` | float | Penalizes new tokens based on their presence in the text so far |
| `frequency_penalty` | float | Penalizes new tokens based on their frequency in the text so far |
| `logit_bias` | Dict[int, float] | Modifies likelihood of specified tokens appearing in the completion |
| `response_format` | Dict[str, Any] | Specifies the format of the response (e.g., {"type": "json_object"}) |
| `seed` | int | Sets a random seed for deterministic results |
| `logprobs` | bool | Whether to return log probabilities of the output tokens |
| `top_logprobs` | int | Number of most likely tokens to return the log probabilities for |
| `base_url` | str | The base URL for the API endpoint |
| `api_version` | str | The version of the API to use |
| `api_key` | str | Your API key for authentication |
Example:
```python
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, ...)
```
## 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
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
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.

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 using the EmbedChain package.
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
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
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",

title: crewAI Pipelines
description: Understanding and utilizing pipelines in the crewAI framework for efficient multi-stage task processing.
---
## What is a Pipeline?
A pipeline in crewAI represents a structured workflow that allows for the sequential or parallel execution of multiple crews. It provides a way to organize complex processes involving multiple stages, where the output of one stage can serve as input for subsequent stages.
## Key Terminology
Understanding the following terms is crucial for working effectively with pipelines:
- **Stage**: A distinct part of the pipeline, which can be either sequential (a single crew) or parallel (multiple crews executing concurrently).
- **Kickoff**: A specific execution of the pipeline for a given set of inputs, representing a single instance of processing through the pipeline.
- **Branch**: Parallel executions within a stage (e.g., concurrent crew operations).
- **Trace**: The journey of an individual input through the entire pipeline, capturing the path and transformations it undergoes.
Example pipeline structure:
```
crew1 >> [crew2, crew3] >> crew4
```
This represents a pipeline with three stages:
1. A sequential stage (crew1)
2. A parallel stage with two branches (crew2 and crew3 executing concurrently)
3. Another sequential stage (crew4)
Each input creates its own kickoff, flowing through all stages of the pipeline. Multiple kickoffs can be processed concurrently, each following the defined pipeline structure.
## Pipeline Attributes
| Attribute | Parameters | Description |
| :--------- | :---------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Stages** | `stages` | A list of `PipelineStage` (crews, lists of crews, or routers) representing the stages to be executed in sequence. |
## Creating a Pipeline
When creating a pipeline, you define a series of stages, each consisting of either a single crew or a list of crews for parallel execution. The pipeline ensures that each stage is executed in order, with the output of one stage feeding into the next.
### Example: Assembling a Pipeline
```python
from crewai import Crew, Process, Pipeline
# Define your crews
research_crew = Crew(
agents=[researcher],
tasks=[research_task],
process=Process.sequential
)
analysis_crew = Crew(
agents=[analyst],
tasks=[analysis_task],
process=Process.sequential
)
writing_crew = Crew(
agents=[writer],
tasks=[writing_task],
process=Process.sequential
)
# Assemble the pipeline
my_pipeline = Pipeline(
stages=[research_crew, analysis_crew, writing_crew]
)
```
## Pipeline Methods
| Method | Description |
| :--------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **kickoff** | Executes the pipeline, processing all stages and returning the results. This method initiates one or more kickoffs through the pipeline, handling the flow of data between stages. |
| **process_runs** | Runs the pipeline for each input provided, handling the flow and transformation of data between stages. |
## Pipeline Output
!!! note "Understanding Pipeline Outputs"
The output of a pipeline in the crewAI framework is encapsulated within the `PipelineKickoffResult` class. This class provides a structured way to access the results of the pipeline's execution, including various formats such as raw strings, JSON, and Pydantic models.
### Pipeline Output Attributes
| Attribute | Parameters | Type | Description |
| :-------------- | :------------ | :------------------------ | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **ID** | `id` | `UUID4` | A unique identifier for the pipeline output. |
| **Run Results** | `run_results` | `List[PipelineRunResult]` | A list of `PipelineRunResult` objects, each representing the output of a single run through the pipeline. |
### Pipeline Output Methods
| Method/Property | Description |
| :----------------- | :----------------------------------------------------- |
| **add_run_result** | Adds a `PipelineRunResult` to the list of run results. |
### Pipeline Run Result Attributes
| Attribute | Parameters | Type | Description |
| :---------------- | :-------------- | :------------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **ID** | `id` | `UUID4` | A unique identifier for the run result. |
| **Raw** | `raw` | `str` | The raw output of the final stage in the pipeline kickoff. |
| **Pydantic** | `pydantic` | `Any` | A Pydantic model object representing the structured output of the final stage, if applicable. |
| **JSON Dict** | `json_dict` | `Union[Dict[str, Any], None]` | A dictionary representing the JSON output of the final stage, if applicable. |
| **Token Usage** | `token_usage` | `Dict[str, UsageMetrics]` | A summary of token usage across all stages of the pipeline kickoff. |
| **Trace** | `trace` | `List[Any]` | A trace of the journey of inputs through the pipeline kickoff. |
| **Crews Outputs** | `crews_outputs` | `List[CrewOutput]` | A list of `CrewOutput` objects, representing the outputs from each crew in the pipeline kickoff. |
### Pipeline Run Result Methods and Properties
| Method/Property | Description |
| :-------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **json** | Returns the JSON string representation of the run result if the output format of the final task is JSON. |
| **to_dict** | Converts the JSON and Pydantic outputs to a dictionary. |
| **str** | Returns the string representation of the run result, prioritizing Pydantic, then JSON, then raw. |
### Accessing Pipeline Outputs
Once a pipeline has been executed, its output can be accessed through the `PipelineOutput` object returned by the `process_runs` method. The `PipelineOutput` class provides access to individual `PipelineRunResult` objects, each representing a single run through the pipeline.
#### Example
```python
# Define input data for the pipeline
input_data = [{"initial_query": "Latest advancements in AI"}, {"initial_query": "Future of robotics"}]
# Execute the pipeline
pipeline_output = await my_pipeline.process_runs(input_data)
# Access the results
for run_result in pipeline_output.run_results:
print(f"Run ID: {run_result.id}")
print(f"Final Raw Output: {run_result.raw}")
if run_result.json_dict:
print(f"JSON Output: {json.dumps(run_result.json_dict, indent=2)}")
if run_result.pydantic:
print(f"Pydantic Output: {run_result.pydantic}")
print(f"Token Usage: {run_result.token_usage}")
print(f"Trace: {run_result.trace}")
print("Crew Outputs:")
for crew_output in run_result.crews_outputs:
print(f" Crew: {crew_output.raw}")
print("\n")
```
This example demonstrates how to access and work with the pipeline output, including individual run results and their associated data.
## Using Pipelines
Pipelines are particularly useful for complex workflows that involve multiple stages of processing, analysis, or content generation. They allow you to:
1. **Sequence Operations**: Execute crews in a specific order, ensuring that the output of one crew is available as input to the next.
2. **Parallel Processing**: Run multiple crews concurrently within a stage for increased efficiency.
3. **Manage Complex Workflows**: Break down large tasks into smaller, manageable steps executed by specialized crews.
### Example: Running a Pipeline
```python
# Define input data for the pipeline
input_data = [{"initial_query": "Latest advancements in AI"}]
# Execute the pipeline, initiating a run for each input
results = await my_pipeline.process_runs(input_data)
# Access the results
for result in results:
print(f"Final Output: {result.raw}")
print(f"Token Usage: {result.token_usage}")
print(f"Trace: {result.trace}") # Shows the path of the input through all stages
```
## Advanced Features
### Parallel Execution within Stages
You can define parallel execution within a stage by providing a list of crews, creating multiple branches:
```python
parallel_analysis_crew = Crew(agents=[financial_analyst], tasks=[financial_analysis_task])
market_analysis_crew = Crew(agents=[market_analyst], tasks=[market_analysis_task])
my_pipeline = Pipeline(
stages=[
research_crew,
[parallel_analysis_crew, market_analysis_crew], # Parallel execution (branching)
writing_crew
]
)
```
### Routers in Pipelines
Routers are a powerful feature in crewAI pipelines that allow for dynamic decision-making and branching within your workflow. They enable you to direct the flow of execution based on specific conditions or criteria, making your pipelines more flexible and adaptive.
#### What is a Router?
A router in crewAI is a special component that can be included as a stage in your pipeline. It evaluates the input data and determines which path the execution should take next. This allows for conditional branching in your pipeline, where different crews or sub-pipelines can be executed based on the router's decision.
#### Key Components of a Router
1. **Routes**: A dictionary of named routes, each associated with a condition and a pipeline to execute if the condition is met.
2. **Default Route**: A fallback pipeline that is executed if none of the defined route conditions are met.
#### Creating a Router
Here's an example of how to create a router:
```python
from crewai import Router, Route, Pipeline, Crew, Agent, Task
# Define your agents
classifier = Agent(name="Classifier", role="Email Classifier")
urgent_handler = Agent(name="Urgent Handler", role="Urgent Email Processor")
normal_handler = Agent(name="Normal Handler", role="Normal Email Processor")
# Define your tasks
classify_task = Task(description="Classify the email based on its content and metadata.")
urgent_task = Task(description="Process and respond to urgent email quickly.")
normal_task = Task(description="Process and respond to normal email thoroughly.")
# Define your crews
classification_crew = Crew(agents=[classifier], tasks=[classify_task]) # classify email between high and low urgency 1-10
urgent_crew = Crew(agents=[urgent_handler], tasks=[urgent_task])
normal_crew = Crew(agents=[normal_handler], tasks=[normal_task])
# Create pipelines for different urgency levels
urgent_pipeline = Pipeline(stages=[urgent_crew])
normal_pipeline = Pipeline(stages=[normal_crew])
# Create a router
email_router = Router(
routes={
"high_urgency": Route(
condition=lambda x: x.get("urgency_score", 0) > 7,
pipeline=urgent_pipeline
),
"low_urgency": Route(
condition=lambda x: x.get("urgency_score", 0) <= 7,
pipeline=normal_pipeline
)
},
default=Pipeline(stages=[normal_pipeline]) # Default to just normal if no urgency score
)
# Use the router in a main pipeline
main_pipeline = Pipeline(stages=[classification_crew, email_router])
inputs = [{"email": "..."}, {"email": "..."}] # List of email data
main_pipeline.kickoff(inputs=inputs)
```
In this example, the router decides between an urgent pipeline and a normal pipeline based on the urgency score of the email. If the urgency score is greater than 7, it routes to the urgent pipeline; otherwise, it uses the normal pipeline. If the input doesn't include an urgency score, it defaults to just the classification crew.
#### Benefits of Using Routers
1. **Dynamic Workflow**: Adapt your pipeline's behavior based on input characteristics or intermediate results.
2. **Efficiency**: Route urgent tasks to quicker processes, reserving more thorough pipelines for less time-sensitive inputs.
3. **Flexibility**: Easily modify or extend your pipeline's logic without changing the core structure.
4. **Scalability**: Handle a wide range of email types and urgency levels with a single pipeline structure.
### Error Handling and Validation
The `Pipeline` class includes validation mechanisms to ensure the robustness of the pipeline structure:
- Validates that stages contain only Crew instances or lists of Crew instances.
- Prevents double nesting of stages to maintain a clear structure.

title: crewAI Tasks
description: Detailed guide on managing and creating tasks within the crewAI framework, reflecting the latest codebase updates.
---
## Overview of a Task
!!! note "What is a Task?"
In the crewAI framework, tasks are specific assignments completed by agents. 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. |

## Creating a Task
Creating a task involves defining its scope, responsible agent, and any additional attributes for flexibility:
```python
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',
)
```
!!! note "Task Assignment"
Directly specify an `agent` for assignment or let the `hierarchical` CrewAI's process decide based on roles, availability, etc.
## Task Output
!!! note "Understanding Task Outputs"
The output of a task in the 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

| :-------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **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
# 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
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
# ...
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
#...
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
# ...
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
# ...
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
# ...
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.

title: crewAI Testing
description: Learn how to test your crewAI Crew and evaluate their performance.
---
## Introduction
Testing is a crucial part of the development process, and it is essential to ensure that your crew is performing as expected. With crewAI, you can easily test your crew and evaluate its performance using the built-in testing capabilities.
### Using the Testing Feature
We added the CLI command `crewai test` to make it easy to test your crew. This command will run your crew for a specified number of iterations and provide detailed performance metrics. The parameters are `n_iterations` and `model`, which are optional and default to 2 and `gpt-4o-mini` respectively. For now, the only provider available is OpenAI.
```bash
crewai test
```
If you want to run more iterations or use a different model, you can specify the parameters like this:
```bash
crewai test --n_iterations 5 --model gpt-4o
```
or using the short forms:
```bash
crewai test -n 5 -m gpt-4o
```
When you run the `crewai test` command, the crew will be executed for the specified number of iterations, and the performance metrics will be displayed at the end of the run.
A table of scores at the end will show the performance of the crew in terms of the following metrics:
```
Tasks Scores
(1-10 Higher is better)
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┯━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Tasks/Crew/Agents │ Run 1 │ Run 2 │ Avg. Total │ Agents │ ┃

## Introduction
CrewAI tools empower agents with capabilities ranging from web searching and data analysis to collaboration and delegating tasks among coworkers. This documentation outlines how to create, integrate, and leverage these tools within the CrewAI framework, including a new focus on collaboration tools.
## What is a Tool?
!!! note "Definition"
A tool in CrewAI is a skill or function that agents can utilize to perform various actions. This includes tools from the [crewAI Toolkit](https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewai-tools) and [LangChain Tools](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools), enabling everything from simple searches to complex interactions and effective teamwork among agents.
## Key Characteristics of Tools
- **Utility**: Crafted for tasks such as web searching, data analysis, content generation, and agent collaboration.
- **Integration**: Boosts agent capabilities by seamlessly integrating tools into their workflow.
- **Customizability**: Provides the flexibility to develop custom tools or utilize existing ones, catering to the specific needs of agents.
- **Error Handling**: Incorporates robust error handling mechanisms to ensure smooth operation.
- **Caching Mechanism**: Features intelligent caching to optimize performance and reduce redundant operations.
## Using crewAI Tools
To enhance your agents' capabilities with crewAI tools, begin by installing our extra tools package:
```bash
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
Here's an example demonstrating their use:
```python
import os
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

)
# Set up API keys
os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Key" # serper.dev API key
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
# Instantiate tools
docs_tool = DirectoryReadTool(directory='./blog-posts')
file_tool = FileReadTool()
search_tool = SerperDevTool()
web_rag_tool = WebsiteSearchTool()
# Create agents
researcher = Agent(
role='Market Research Analyst',
goal='Provide up-to-date market analysis of the AI industry',
backstory='An expert analyst with a keen eye for market trends.',
tools=[search_tool, web_rag_tool],
verbose=True
)
writer = Agent(
role='Content Writer',

expected_output='A summary of the top 3 trending developments in the AI industry with a unique perspective on their significance.',
agent=researcher
)
write = Task(
description='Write an engaging blog post about the AI industry, based on the research analysts summary. Draw inspiration from the latest blog posts in the directory.',
expected_output='A 4-paragraph blog post formatted in markdown with engaging, informative, and accessible content, avoiding complex jargon.',
agent=writer,
output_file='blog-posts/new_post.md' # The final blog post will be saved here
)
# Assemble a crew with planning enabled
crew = Crew(
agents=[researcher, writer],
tasks=[research, write],
verbose=True,
planning=True, # Enable planning feature
)
# Execute tasks
crew.kickoff()
```
## Available crewAI Tools
- **Error Handling**: All tools are built with error handling capabilities, allowing agents to gracefully manage exceptions and continue their tasks.
- **Caching Mechanism**: All tools support caching, enabling agents to efficiently reuse previously obtained results, reducing the load on external resources and speeding up the execution time. You can also define finer control over the caching mechanism using the `cache_function` attribute on the tool.

## Creating your own Tools
!!! example "Custom Tool Creation"
Developers can craft custom tools tailored for their agents needs or utilize pre-built options:
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
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
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
!!! note "Caching"
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.
```python
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.

# Creating a CrewAI Pipeline Project
Welcome to the comprehensive guide for creating a new CrewAI pipeline project. This document will walk you through the steps to create, customize, and run your CrewAI pipeline project, ensuring you have everything you need to get started.
To learn more about CrewAI pipelines, visit the [CrewAI documentation](https://docs.crewai.com/core-concepts/Pipeline/).
## Prerequisites
Before getting started with CrewAI pipelines, make sure that you have installed CrewAI via pip:
```shell
$ pip install crewai crewai-tools
```
The same prerequisites for virtual environments and Code IDEs apply as in regular CrewAI projects.
## Creating a New Pipeline Project
To create a new CrewAI pipeline project, you have two options:
1. For a basic pipeline template:
```shell
$ crewai create pipeline <project_name>
```
2. For a pipeline example that includes a router:
```shell
$ crewai create pipeline --router <project_name>
```
These commands will create a new project folder with the following structure:
```
<project_name>/
├── README.md
├── poetry.lock
├── pyproject.toml
├── src/
│ └── <project_name>/
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── main.py
│ ├── crews/
│ │ ├── crew1/
│ │ │ ├── crew1.py
│ │ │ └── config/
│ │ │ ├── agents.yaml
│ │ │ └── tasks.yaml
│ │ ├── crew2/
│ │ │ ├── crew2.py
│ │ │ └── config/
│ │ │ ├── agents.yaml
│ │ │ └── tasks.yaml
│ ├── pipelines/
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ ├── pipeline1.py
│ │ └── pipeline2.py
│ └── tools/
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── custom_tool.py
└── tests/
```
## Customizing Your Pipeline Project
To customize your pipeline project, you can:
1. Modify the crew files in `src/<project_name>/crews/` to define your agents and tasks for each crew.
2. Modify the pipeline files in `src/<project_name>/pipelines/` to define your pipeline structure.
3. Modify `src/<project_name>/main.py` to set up and run your pipelines.
4. Add your environment variables into the `.env` file.
## Example 1: Defining a Two-Stage Sequential Pipeline
Here's an example of how to define a pipeline with sequential stages in `src/<project_name>/pipelines/pipeline.py`:
```python
from crewai import Pipeline
from crewai.project import PipelineBase
from ..crews.research_crew.research_crew import ResearchCrew
from ..crews.write_x_crew.write_x_crew import WriteXCrew
@PipelineBase
class SequentialPipeline:
def __init__(self):
# Initialize crews
self.research_crew = ResearchCrew().crew()
self.write_x_crew = WriteXCrew().crew()
def create_pipeline(self):
return Pipeline(
stages=[
self.research_crew,
self.write_x_crew
]
)
async def kickoff(self, inputs):
pipeline = self.create_pipeline()
results = await pipeline.kickoff(inputs)
return results
```
## Example 2: Defining a Two-Stage Pipeline with Parallel Execution
```python
from crewai import Pipeline
from crewai.project import PipelineBase
from ..crews.research_crew.research_crew import ResearchCrew
from ..crews.write_x_crew.write_x_crew import WriteXCrew
from ..crews.write_linkedin_crew.write_linkedin_crew import WriteLinkedInCrew
@PipelineBase
class ParallelExecutionPipeline:
def __init__(self):
# Initialize crews
self.research_crew = ResearchCrew().crew()
self.write_x_crew = WriteXCrew().crew()
self.write_linkedin_crew = WriteLinkedInCrew().crew()
def create_pipeline(self):
return Pipeline(
stages=[
self.research_crew,
[self.write_x_crew, self.write_linkedin_crew] # Parallel execution
]
)
async def kickoff(self, inputs):
pipeline = self.create_pipeline()
results = await pipeline.kickoff(inputs)
return results
```
### Annotations
The main annotation you'll use for pipelines is `@PipelineBase`. This annotation is used to decorate your pipeline classes, similar to how `@CrewBase` is used for crews.
## Installing Dependencies
To install the dependencies for your project, use Poetry:
```shell
$ cd <project_name>
$ crewai install
```
## Running Your Pipeline Project
To run your pipeline project, use the following command:
```shell
$ crewai run
```
This will initialize your pipeline and begin task execution as defined in your `main.py` file.
## Deploying Your Pipeline Project
Pipelines can be deployed in the same way as regular CrewAI projects. The easiest way is through [CrewAI+](https://www.crewai.com/crewaiplus), where you can deploy your pipeline in a few clicks.
Remember, when working with pipelines, you're orchestrating multiple crews to work together in a sequence or parallel fashion. This allows for more complex workflows and information processing tasks.

# Starting Your CrewAI Project
Welcome to the ultimate guide for starting a new CrewAI project. This document will walk you through the steps to create, customize, and run your CrewAI project, ensuring you have everything you need to get started.
Before we start, there are a couple of things to note:
1. CrewAI is a Python package and requires Python >=3.10 and <=3.13 to run.
2. The preferred way of setting up CrewAI is using the `crewai create crew` command. This will create a new project folder and install a skeleton template for you to work on.
## Prerequisites
Before getting started with CrewAI, make sure that you have installed it via pip:
```shell
$ pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
## Creating a New Project
In this example, we will be using poetry as our virtual environment manager.
To create a new CrewAI project, run the following CLI command:
```shell
$ crewai create crew <project_name>
```
This command will create a new project folder with the following structure:
```shell
my_project/
├── .gitignore
├── pyproject.toml
├── README.md
└── src/
└── my_project/
├── __init__.py
├── main.py
├── crew.py
├── tools/
│ ├── custom_tool.py
│ └── __init__.py
└── config/
├── agents.yaml
└── tasks.yaml
```
You can now start developing your project by editing the files in the `src/my_project` folder. The `main.py` file is the entry point of your project, and the `crew.py` file is where you define your agents and tasks.
## Customizing Your Project
To customize your project, you can:
- Modify `src/my_project/config/agents.yaml` to define your agents.
- Modify `src/my_project/config/tasks.yaml` to define your tasks.
- Modify `src/my_project/crew.py` to add your own logic, tools, and specific arguments.
- Modify `src/my_project/main.py` to add custom inputs for your agents and tasks.
- Add your environment variables into the `.env` file.
### Example: Defining Agents and Tasks
#### agents.yaml
```yaml
researcher:
role: >
Job Candidate Researcher
goal: >
Find potential candidates for the job
backstory: >
You are adept at finding the right candidates by exploring various online
resources. Your skill in identifying suitable candidates ensures the best
match for job positions.
```
#### tasks.yaml
```yaml
research_candidates_task:
description: >
Conduct thorough research to find potential candidates for the specified job.
Utilize various online resources and databases to gather a comprehensive list of potential candidates.
Ensure that the candidates meet the job requirements provided.
Job Requirements:
{job_requirements}
expected_output: >
A list of 10 potential candidates with their contact information and brief profiles highlighting their suitability.
agent: researcher # THIS NEEDS TO MATCH THE AGENT NAME IN THE AGENTS.YAML FILE AND THE AGENT DEFINED IN THE crew.py FILE
context: # THESE NEED TO MATCH THE TASK NAMES DEFINED ABOVE AND THE TASKS.YAML FILE AND THE TASK DEFINED IN THE crew.py FILE
- researcher
```
### Referencing Variables:
Your defined functions with the same name will be used. For example, you can reference the agent for specific tasks from `tasks.yaml` file. Ensure your annotated agent and function name are the same; otherwise, your task won't recognize the reference properly.
#### Example References
`agents.yaml`
```yaml
email_summarizer:
role: >
Email Summarizer
goal: >
Summarize emails into a concise and clear summary
backstory: >
You will create a 5 bullet point summary of the report
llm: mixtal_llm
```
`tasks.yaml`
```yaml
email_summarizer_task:
description: >
Summarize the email into a 5 bullet point summary
expected_output: >
A 5 bullet point summary of the email
agent: email_summarizer
context:
- reporting_task
- research_task
```
Use the annotations to properly reference the agent and task in the `crew.py` file.
### Annotations include:
* `@agent`
* `@task`
* `@crew`
* `@tool`
* `@callback`
* `@output_json`
* `@output_pydantic`
* `@cache_handler`
`crew.py`
```python
# ...
@agent
def email_summarizer(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config["email_summarizer"],
)
@task
def email_summarizer_task(self) -> Task:
return Task(
config=self.tasks_config["email_summarizer_task"],
)
# ...
```
## Installing Dependencies
To install the dependencies for your project, you can use Poetry. First, navigate to your project directory:
```shell
$ cd my_project
$ crewai install
```
This will install the dependencies specified in the `pyproject.toml` file.
## Interpolating Variables
Any variable interpolated in your `agents.yaml` and `tasks.yaml` files like `{variable}` will be replaced by the value of the variable in the `main.py` file.
#### tasks.yaml
```yaml
research_task:

---
# Initial Support to Bring Your Own Prompts in CrewAI
CrewAI now supports the ability to bring your own prompts, enabling extensive customization and internationalization. This feature allows users to tailor the inner workings of their agents to better suit specific needs, including support for multiple languages.
## Internationalization and Customization Support
### Custom Prompts with `prompt_file`
The `prompt_file` attribute facilitates full customization of the agent prompts, enhancing the global usability of CrewAI. Users can specify their prompt templates, ensuring that the agents communicate in a manner that aligns with specific project requirements or language preferences.
#### Example of a Custom Prompt File
The custom prompts can be defined in a JSON file, similar to the example provided [here](https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewAI/blob/main/src/crewai/translations/en.json).
### Supported Languages
CrewAI's custom prompt support includes internationalization, allowing prompts to be written in different languages. This is particularly useful for global teams or projects that require multilingual support.
## How to Use the `prompt_file` Attribute
To utilize the `prompt_file` attribute, include it in your crew definition. Below is an example demonstrating how to set up agents and tasks with custom prompts.
### Example
```python
import os
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
# Define your agents
researcher = Agent(
role="Researcher",
goal="Make the best research and analysis on content about AI and AI agents",
backstory="You're an expert researcher, specialized in technology, software engineering, AI and startups. You work as a freelancer and is now working on doing research and analysis for a new customer.",
allow_delegation=False,
)
writer = Agent(
role="Senior Writer",
goal="Write the best content about AI and AI agents.",
backstory="You're a senior writer, specialized in technology, software engineering, AI and startups. You work as a freelancer and are now working on writing content for a new customer.",
allow_delegation=False,
)
# Define your tasks
tasks = [
Task(
description="Say Hi",
expected_output="The word: Hi",
agent=researcher,
)
]
# Instantiate your crew with custom prompts
crew = Crew(
agents=[researcher],
tasks=tasks,
prompt_file="prompt.json", # Path to your custom prompt file
)
# Get your crew to work!
crew.kickoff()
```
## Advanced Customization Features
### `language` Attribute
In addition to `prompt_file`, the `language` attribute can be used to specify the language for the agent's prompts. This ensures that the prompts are generated in the desired language, further enhancing the internationalization capabilities of CrewAI.
### Creating Custom Prompt Files
Custom prompt files should be structured in JSON format and include all necessary prompt templates. Below is a simplified example of a prompt JSON file:
```json
{
"system": "You are a system template.",
"prompt": "Here is your prompt template.",
"response": "Here is your response template."
}
```
### Benefits of Custom Prompts
- **Enhanced Flexibility**: Tailor agent communication to specific project needs.
- **Improved Usability**: Supports multiple languages, making it suitable for global projects.
- **Consistency**: Ensures uniform prompt structures across different agents and tasks.
By incorporating these updates, CrewAI provides users with the ability to fully customize and internationalize their agent prompts, making the platform more versatile and user-friendly.

title: Customizing Agents in CrewAI
description: A comprehensive guide to tailoring agents for specific roles, tasks, and advanced customizations within the CrewAI framework.
---
## Customizable Attributes
Crafting an efficient CrewAI team hinges on the ability to dynamically tailor your AI agents to meet the unique requirements of any project. This section covers the foundational attributes you can customize.
### Key Attributes for Customization
- **Role**: Specifies the agent's job within the crew, such as 'Analyst' or 'Customer Service Rep'.
- **Goal**: Defines what the agent aims to achieve, in alignment with its role and the overarching objectives of the crew.
- **Backstory**: Provides depth to the agent's persona, enriching its motivations and engagements within the crew.
- **Tools** *(Optional)*: Represents the capabilities or methods the agent uses to perform tasks, from simple functions to intricate integrations.
- **Cache** *(Optional)*: Determines whether the agent should use a cache for tool usage.
- **Max RPM**: Sets the maximum number of requests per minute (`max_rpm`). This attribute is optional and can be set to `None` for no limit, allowing for unlimited queries to external services if needed.
- **Verbose** *(Optional)*: Enables detailed logging of an agent's actions, useful for debugging and optimization. Specifically, it provides insights into agent execution processes, aiding in the optimization of performance.
- **Allow Delegation** *(Optional)*: `allow_delegation` controls whether the agent is allowed to delegate tasks to other agents. This attribute is now set to `False` by default.
- **Max Iter** *(Optional)*: The `max_iter` attribute allows users to define the maximum number of iterations an agent can perform for a single task, preventing infinite loops or excessively long executions. The default value is set to 25, providing a balance between thoroughness and efficiency.
- **Max Execution Time** *(Optional)*: `max_execution_time` Sets the maximum execution time for an agent to complete a task.
- **System Template** *(Optional)*: `system_template` defines the system format for the agent.
- **Prompt Template** *(Optional)*: `prompt_template` defines the prompt format for the agent.
- **Response Template** *(Optional)*: `response_template` defines the response format for the agent.
- **Use System Prompt** *(Optional)*: `use_system_prompt` controls whether the agent will use a system prompt for task execution. Agents can now operate without system prompts.
- **Respect Context Window**: `respect_context_window` renames the sliding context window attribute and enables it by default to maintain context size.
- **Max Retry Limit**: `max_retry_limit` defines the maximum number of retries for an agent to execute a task when an error occurs.
## Advanced Customization Options
Beyond the basic attributes, CrewAI allows for deeper customization to enhance an agent's behavior and capabilities significantly.
### Language Model Customization
Agents can be customized with specific language models (`llm`) and function-calling language models (`function_calling_llm`), offering advanced control over their processing and decision-making abilities. It's important to note that setting the `function_calling_llm` allows for overriding the default crew function-calling language model, providing a greater degree of customization.
## Performance and Debugging Settings
Adjusting an agent's performance and monitoring its operations are crucial for efficient task execution.
### Verbose Mode and RPM Limit
- **Verbose Mode**: Enables detailed logging of an agent's actions, useful for debugging and optimization. Specifically, it provides insights into agent execution processes, aiding in the optimization of performance.
- **RPM Limit**: Sets the maximum number of requests per minute (`max_rpm`). This attribute is optional and can be set to `None` for no limit, allowing for unlimited queries to external services if needed.
### Maximum Iterations for Task Execution
The `max_iter` attribute allows users to define the maximum number of iterations an agent can perform for a single task, preventing infinite loops or excessively long executions. The default value is set to 25, providing a balance between thoroughness and efficiency. Once the agent approaches this number, it will try its best to give a good answer.
## Customizing Agents and Tools
Agents are customized by defining their attributes and tools during initialization. Tools are critical for an agent's functionality, enabling them to perform specialized tasks. The `tools` attribute should be an array of tools the agent can utilize, and it's initialized as an empty list by default. Tools can be added or modified post-agent initialization to adapt to new requirements.
```shell
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
### Example: Assigning Tools to an Agent
```python
import os
from crewai import Agent
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
# Set API keys for tool initialization
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
# Initialize a search tool
search_tool = SerperDevTool()
# Initialize the agent with advanced options
agent = Agent(
role='Research Analyst',
goal='Provide up-to-date market analysis',
backstory='An expert analyst with a keen eye for market trends.',
tools=[search_tool],
memory=True, # Enable memory
verbose=True,
max_rpm=None, # No limit on requests per minute
max_iter=25, # Default value for maximum iterations
)
```
## Delegation and Autonomy
Controlling an agent's ability to delegate tasks or ask questions is vital for tailoring its autonomy and collaborative dynamics within the CrewAI framework. By default, the `allow_delegation` attribute is now set to `False`, disabling agents to seek assistance or delegate tasks as needed. This default behavior can be changed to promote collaborative problem-solving and efficiency within the CrewAI ecosystem. If needed, delegation can be enabled to suit specific operational requirements.
### Example: Disabling Delegation for an Agent
```python
agent = Agent(
role='Content Writer',
goal='Write engaging content on market trends',
backstory='A seasoned writer with expertise in market analysis.',
allow_delegation=True # Enabling delegation
)
```
## Conclusion
Customizing agents in CrewAI by setting their roles, goals, backstories, and tools, alongside advanced options like language model customization, memory, performance settings, and delegation preferences, equips a nuanced and capable AI team ready for complex challenges.

title: Forcing Tool Output as Result
description: Learn how to force tool output as the result in an Agent's task in CrewAI.
---
## Introduction
In CrewAI, you can force the output of a tool as the result of an agent's task. This feature is useful when you want to ensure that the tool output is captured and returned as the task result, avoiding any agent modification during the task execution.
## Forcing Tool Output as Result
To force the tool output as the result of an agent's task, you need to set the `result_as_answer` parameter to `True` when adding a tool to the agent. This parameter ensures that the tool output is captured and returned as the task result, without any modifications by the agent.
Here's an example of how to force the tool output as the result of an agent's task:
```python
# ...
from crewai.agent import Agent
from my_tool import MyCustomTool
# Create a coding agent with the custom tool
coding_agent = Agent(
role="Data Scientist",
goal="Produce amazing reports on AI",
backstory="You work with data and AI",
tools=[MyCustomTool(result_as_answer=True)],
)
# Assuming the tool's execution and result population occurs within the system
task_result = coding_agent.execute_task(task)
```
## Workflow in Action
1. **Task Execution**: The agent executes the task using the tool provided.
2. **Tool Output**: The tool generates the output, which is captured as the task result.
3. **Agent Interaction**: The agent may reflect and take learnings from the tool but the output is not modified.
4. **Result Return**: The tool output is returned as the task result without any modifications.

title: Replay Tasks from Latest Crew Kickoff
description: Replay tasks from the latest crew.kickoff(...)
---
## Introduction
CrewAI provides the ability to replay from a task specified from the latest crew kickoff. This feature is particularly useful when you've finished a kickoff and may want to retry certain tasks or don't need to refetch data over and your agents already have the context saved from the kickoff execution so you just need to replay the tasks you want to.
## Note:
You must run `crew.kickoff()` before you can replay a task. Currently, only the latest kickoff is supported, so if you use `kickoff_for_each`, it will only allow you to replay from the most recent crew run.
Here's an example of how to replay from a task:
### Replaying from Specific Task Using the CLI
To use the replay 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 commands:
To view the latest kickoff task_ids use:
```shell
crewai log-tasks-outputs
```
Once you have your `task_id` to replay, use:
```shell
crewai replay -t <task_id>
```
**Note:** Ensure `crewai` is installed and configured correctly in your development environment.
### Replaying from a Task Programmatically
To replay from a task programmatically, use the following steps:
1. Specify the `task_id` and input parameters for the replay process.
2. Execute the replay command within a try-except block to handle potential errors.
```python
def replay():
"""
Replay the crew execution from a specific task.
"""
task_id = '<task_id>'
inputs = {"topic": "CrewAI Training"} # This is optional; you can pass in the inputs you want to replay; otherwise, it uses the previous kickoff's inputs.
try:
YourCrewName_Crew().crew().replay(task_id=task_id, inputs=inputs)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
raise Exception(f"An error occurred while replaying the crew: {e}")
except Exception as e:
raise Exception(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}")
```
## Conclusion
With the above enhancements and detailed functionality, replaying specific tasks in CrewAI has been made more efficient and robust. Ensure you follow the commands and steps precisely to make the most of these features.

title: Before and After Kickoff Hooks
description: Learn how to use before and after kickoff hooks in CrewAI
---
CrewAI provides hooks that allow you to execute code before and after a crew's kickoff. These hooks are useful for preprocessing inputs or post-processing results.
## Before Kickoff Hook
The before kickoff hook is executed before the crew starts its tasks. It receives the input dictionary and can modify it before passing it to the crew. You can use this hook to set up your environment, load necessary data, or preprocess your inputs. This is useful in scenarios where the input data might need enrichment or validation before being processed by the crew.
Here's an example of defining a before kickoff function in your `crew.py`:
```python
from crewai import CrewBase, before_kickoff
@CrewBase
class MyCrew:
@before_kickoff
def prepare_data(self, inputs):
# Preprocess or modify inputs
inputs['processed'] = True
return inputs
#...
```
In this example, the prepare_data function modifies the inputs by adding a new key-value pair indicating that the inputs have been processed.
## After Kickoff Hook
The after kickoff hook is executed after the crew has completed its tasks. It receives the result object, which contains the outputs of the crew's execution. This hook is ideal for post-processing results, such as logging, data transformation, or further analysis.
Here's how you can define an after kickoff function in your `crew.py`:
```python
from crewai import CrewBase, after_kickoff
@CrewBase
class MyCrew:
@after_kickoff
def log_results(self, result):
# Log or modify the results
print("Crew execution completed with result:", result)
return result
# ...
```
In the `log_results` function, the results of the crew execution are simply printed out. You can extend this to perform more complex operations such as sending notifications or integrating with other services.
## Utilizing Both Hooks
Both hooks can be used together to provide a comprehensive setup and teardown process for your crew's execution. They are particularly useful in maintaining clean code architecture by separating concerns and enhancing the modularity of your CrewAI implementations.
## Conclusion
Before and after kickoff hooks in CrewAI offer powerful ways to interact with the lifecycle of a crew's execution. By understanding and utilizing these hooks, you can greatly enhance the robustness and flexibility of your AI agents.

## Code Execution Process
When an agent with code execution enabled encounters a task requiring programming:
1. The agent analyzes the task and determines that code execution is necessary.
2. It formulates the Python code needed to solve the problem.
3. The code is sent to the internal code execution tool (`CodeInterpreterTool`).
4. The tool executes the code in a controlled environment and returns the result.
5. The agent interprets the result and incorporates it into its response or uses it for further problem-solving.

## Customizable Attributes
Crafting an efficient CrewAI team hinges on the ability to dynamically tailor your AI agents to meet the unique requirements of any project. This section covers the foundational attributes you can customize.
### Key Attributes for Customization
| Attribute | Description |
|:-----------------------|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **Role** | Specifies the agent's job within the crew, such as 'Analyst' or 'Customer Service Rep'. |
| **Goal** | Defines the agents objectives, aligned with its role and the crews overarching mission. |
| **Backstory** | Provides depth to the agent's persona, enhancing motivations and engagements within the crew. |
| **Tools** *(Optional)* | Represents the capabilities or methods the agent uses for tasks, from simple functions to complex integrations. |
| **Cache** *(Optional)* | Determines if the agent should use a cache for tool usage. |
| **Max RPM** | Sets the maximum requests per minute (`max_rpm`). Can be set to `None` for unlimited requests to external services. |
| **Verbose** *(Optional)* | Enables detailed logging for debugging and optimization, providing insights into execution processes. |
| **Allow Delegation** *(Optional)* | Controls task delegation to other agents, default is `False`. |
| **Max Iter** *(Optional)* | Limits the maximum number of iterations (`max_iter`) for a task to prevent infinite loops, with a default of 25. |
| **Max Execution Time** *(Optional)* | Sets the maximum time allowed for an agent to complete a task. |
| **System Template** *(Optional)* | Defines the system format for the agent. |
| **Prompt Template** *(Optional)* | Defines the prompt format for the agent. |
| **Response Template** *(Optional)* | Defines the response format for the agent. |
| **Use System Prompt** *(Optional)* | Controls whether the agent will use a system prompt during task execution. |
| **Respect Context Window** | Enables a sliding context window by default, maintaining context size. |
| **Max Retry Limit** | Sets the maximum number of retries (`max_retry_limit`) for an agent in case of errors. |
## Advanced Customization Options
Beyond the basic attributes, CrewAI allows for deeper customization to enhance an agent's behavior and capabilities significantly.
### Language Model Customization
Agents can be customized with specific language models (`llm`) and function-calling language models (`function_calling_llm`), offering advanced control over their processing and decision-making abilities.
It's important to note that setting the `function_calling_llm` allows for overriding the default crew function-calling language model, providing a greater degree of customization.
## Performance and Debugging Settings
Adjusting an agent's performance and monitoring its operations are crucial for efficient task execution.
### Verbose Mode and RPM Limit
- **Verbose Mode**: Enables detailed logging of an agent's actions, useful for debugging and optimization. Specifically, it provides insights into agent execution processes, aiding in the optimization of performance.
- **RPM Limit**: Sets the maximum number of requests per minute (`max_rpm`). This attribute is optional and can be set to `None` for no limit, allowing for unlimited queries to external services if needed.
### Maximum Iterations for Task Execution
The `max_iter` attribute allows users to define the maximum number of iterations an agent can perform for a single task, preventing infinite loops or excessively long executions.
The default value is set to 25, providing a balance between thoroughness and efficiency. Once the agent approaches this number, it will try its best to give a good answer.
## Customizing Agents and Tools
Agents are customized by defining their attributes and tools during initialization. Tools are critical for an agent's functionality, enabling them to perform specialized tasks.
The `tools` attribute should be an array of tools the agent can utilize, and it's initialized as an empty list by default. Tools can be added or modified post-agent initialization to adapt to new requirements.
```shell
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
### Example: Assigning Tools to an Agent
```python Code
import os
from crewai import Agent
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
# Set API keys for tool initialization
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
# Initialize a search tool
search_tool = SerperDevTool()
# Initialize the agent with advanced options
agent = Agent(
role='Research Analyst',
goal='Provide up-to-date market analysis',
backstory='An expert analyst with a keen eye for market trends.',
tools=[search_tool],
memory=True, # Enable memory
verbose=True,
max_rpm=None, # No limit on requests per minute
max_iter=25, # Default value for maximum iterations
)
```
## Delegation and Autonomy
Controlling an agent's ability to delegate tasks or ask questions is vital for tailoring its autonomy and collaborative dynamics within the CrewAI framework. By default,
the `allow_delegation` attribute is now set to `False`, disabling agents to seek assistance or delegate tasks as needed. This default behavior can be changed to promote collaborative problem-solving and
efficiency within the CrewAI ecosystem. If needed, delegation can be enabled to suit specific operational requirements.
### Example: Disabling Delegation for an Agent
```python Code
agent = Agent(
role='Content Writer',
goal='Write engaging content on market trends',
backstory='A seasoned writer with expertise in market analysis.',
allow_delegation=True # Enabling delegation
)
```
## Conclusion
Customizing agents in CrewAI by setting their roles, goals, backstories, and tools, alongside advanced options like language model customization, memory, performance settings, and delegation preferences,
equips a nuanced and capable AI team ready for complex challenges.

## Introduction
In CrewAI, you can force the output of a tool as the result of an agent's task.
This feature is useful when you want to ensure that the tool output is captured and returned as the task result, avoiding any agent modification during the task execution.
## Forcing Tool Output as Result
To force the tool output as the result of an agent's task, you need to set the `result_as_answer` parameter to `True` when adding a tool to the agent.
This parameter ensures that the tool output is captured and returned as the task result, without any modifications by the agent.
Here's an example of how to force the tool output as the result of an agent's task:
```python Code
from crewai.agent import Agent
from my_tool import MyCustomTool
# Create a coding agent with the custom tool
coding_agent = Agent(
role="Data Scientist",
goal="Produce amazing reports on AI",
backstory="You work with data and AI",
tools=[MyCustomTool(result_as_answer=True)],
)
# Assuming the tool's execution and result population occurs within the system
task_result = coding_agent.execute_task(task)
```

title: Connect to any LLM
description: Comprehensive guide on integrating CrewAI with various Large Language Models (LLMs) using LiteLLM, including supported providers and configuration options.
icon: brain-circuit
---
## Connect CrewAI to LLMs
CrewAI uses LiteLLM to connect to a wide variety of Language Models (LLMs). This integration provides extensive versatility, allowing you to use models from numerous providers with a simple, unified interface.
<Note>
By default, CrewAI uses the `gpt-4o-mini` model. This is determined by the `OPENAI_MODEL_NAME` environment variable, which defaults to "gpt-4o-mini" if not set.
You can easily configure your agents to use a different model or provider as described in this guide.
</Note>
## Supported Providers
LiteLLM supports a wide range of providers, including but not limited to:
- OpenAI
- Anthropic
- Google (Vertex AI, Gemini)
- Azure OpenAI
- AWS (Bedrock, SageMaker)
- Cohere
- Hugging Face
- Ollama
- Mistral AI
- Replicate
- Together AI
- AI21
- Cloudflare Workers AI
- DeepInfra
- Groq
- And many more!
For a complete and up-to-date list of supported providers, please refer to the [LiteLLM Providers documentation](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers).
## Changing the LLM
To use a different LLM with your CrewAI agents, you have several options:
<Tabs>
<Tab title="Using a String Identifier">
Pass the model name as a string when initializing the agent:
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
from crewai import Agent
# Using OpenAI's GPT-4
openai_agent = Agent(
role='OpenAI Expert',
goal='Provide insights using GPT-4',
backstory="An AI assistant powered by OpenAI's latest model.",
llm='gpt-4'
)
# Using Anthropic's Claude
claude_agent = Agent(
role='Anthropic Expert',
goal='Analyze data using Claude',
backstory="An AI assistant leveraging Anthropic's language model.",
llm='claude-2'
)
```
</CodeGroup>
</Tab>
<Tab title="Using the LLM Class">
For more detailed configuration, use the LLM class:
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
from crewai import Agent, LLM
llm = LLM(
model="gpt-4",
temperature=0.7,
base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1",
api_key="your-api-key-here"
)
agent = Agent(
role='Customized LLM Expert',
goal='Provide tailored responses',
backstory="An AI assistant with custom LLM settings.",
llm=llm
)
```
</CodeGroup>
</Tab>
</Tabs>
## Configuration Options
When configuring an LLM for your agent, you have access to a wide range of parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|:----------|:-----:|:-------------|
| **model** | `str` | The name of the model to use (e.g., "gpt-4", "claude-2") |
| **temperature** | `float` | Controls randomness in output (0.0 to 1.0) |
| **max_tokens** | `int` | Maximum number of tokens to generate |
| **top_p** | `float` | Controls diversity of output (0.0 to 1.0) |
| **frequency_penalty** | `float` | Penalizes new tokens based on their frequency in the text so far |
| **presence_penalty** | `float` | Penalizes new tokens based on their presence in the text so far |
| **stop** | `str`, `List[str]` | Sequence(s) to stop generation |
| **base_url** | `str` | The base URL for the API endpoint |
| **api_key** | `str` | Your API key for authentication |
For a complete list of parameters and their descriptions, refer to the LLM class documentation.
## 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:
<Tabs>
<Tab title="Using Environment Variables">
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
import os
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"
os.environ["OPENAI_API_BASE"] = "https://api.your-provider.com/v1"
os.environ["OPENAI_MODEL_NAME"] = "your-model-name"
```
</CodeGroup>
</Tab>
<Tab title="Using LLM Class Attributes">
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
llm = LLM(
model="custom-model-name",
api_key="your-api-key",
base_url="https://api.your-provider.com/v1"
)
agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...)
```
</CodeGroup>
</Tab>
</Tabs>
## Using Local Models with Ollama
For local models like those provided by Ollama:
<Steps>
<Step title="Download and install Ollama">
[Click here to download and install Ollama](https://ollama.com/download)
</Step>
<Step title="Pull the desired model">
For example, run `ollama pull llama3.2` to download the model.
</Step>
<Step title="Configure your agent">
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
agent = Agent(
role='Local AI Expert',
goal='Process information using a local model',
backstory="An AI assistant running on local hardware.",
llm=LLM(model="ollama/llama3.2", base_url="http://localhost:11434")
)
```
</CodeGroup>
</Step>
</Steps>
## Changing the Base API URL
You can change the base API URL for any LLM provider by setting the `base_url` parameter:
```python Code
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.

title: Replay Tasks from Latest Crew Kickoff
description: Replay tasks from the latest crew.kickoff(...)
icon: arrow-right
---
## Introduction
CrewAI provides the ability to replay from a task specified from the latest crew kickoff. This feature is particularly useful when you've finished a kickoff and may want to retry certain tasks or don't need to refetch data over and your agents already have the context saved from the kickoff execution so you just need to replay the tasks you want to.
<Note>
You must run `crew.kickoff()` before you can replay a task.
Currently, only the latest kickoff is supported, so if you use `kickoff_for_each`, it will only allow you to replay from the most recent crew run.
</Note>
Here's an example of how to replay from a task:
### Replaying from Specific Task Using the CLI
To use the replay feature, follow these steps:
<Steps>
<Step title="Open your terminal or command prompt.">
</Step>
<Step title="Navigate to the directory where your CrewAI project is located.">
</Step>
<Step title="Run the following commands:">
To view the latest kickoff task_ids use:
```shell
crewai log-tasks-outputs
```
Once you have your `task_id` to replay, use:
```shell
crewai replay -t <task_id>
```
</Step>
</Steps>
<Note>
Ensure `crewai` is installed and configured correctly in your development environment.
</Note>
### Replaying from a Task Programmatically
To replay from a task programmatically, use the following steps:
<Steps>
<Step title="Specify the `task_id` and input parameters for the replay process.">
Specify the `task_id` and input parameters for the replay process.
</Step>
<Step title="Execute the replay command within a try-except block to handle potential errors.">
Execute the replay command within a try-except block to handle potential errors.
<CodeGroup>
```python Code
def replay():
"""
Replay the crew execution from a specific task.
"""
task_id = '<task_id>'
inputs = {"topic": "CrewAI Training"} # This is optional; you can pass in the inputs you want to replay; otherwise, it uses the previous kickoff's inputs.
try:
YourCrewName_Crew().crew().replay(task_id=task_id, inputs=inputs)
except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
raise Exception(f"An error occurred while replaying the crew: {e}")
except Exception as e:
raise Exception(f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}")
```
</CodeGroup>
</Step>
</Steps>
## Conclusion
With the above enhancements and detailed functionality, replaying specific tasks in CrewAI has been made more efficient and robust.
Ensure you follow the commands and steps precisely to make the most of these features.

CrewAI offers a flexible framework for executing tasks in a structured manner, supporting both sequential and hierarchical processes.
This guide outlines how to effectively implement these processes to ensure efficient task execution and project completion.
## Sequential Process Overview
The sequential process ensures tasks are executed one after the other, following a linear progression. This approach is ideal for projects requiring tasks to be completed in a specific order.
The sequential process ensures tasks are executed one after the other, following a linear progression.
This approach is ideal for projects requiring tasks to be completed in a specific order.
### Key Features
- **Linear Task Flow**: Ensures orderly progression by handling tasks in a predetermined sequence.
- **Simplicity**: Best suited for projects with clear, step-by-step tasks.
- **Easy Monitoring**: Facilitates easy tracking of task completion and project progress.
## Implementing the Sequential Process
To use the sequential process, assemble your crew and define tasks in the order they need to be executed.

### Note:
Each task in a sequential process **must** have an agent assigned. Ensure that every `Task` includes an `agent` parameter.
### Workflow in Action
1. **Initial Task**: In a sequential process, the first agent completes their task and signals completion.
2. **Subsequent Tasks**: Agents pick up their tasks based on the process type, with outcomes of preceding tasks or directives guiding their execution.
3. **Completion**: The process concludes once the final task is executed, leading to project completion.

### Task Delegation
In sequential processes, if an agent has `allow_delegation` set to `True`, they can delegate tasks to other agents in the crew. This feature is automatically set up when there are multiple agents in the crew.
In sequential processes, if an agent has `allow_delegation` set to `True`, they can delegate tasks to other agents in the crew.
This feature is automatically set up when there are multiple agents in the crew.
### Asynchronous Execution
Tasks can be executed asynchronously, allowing for parallel processing when appropriate. To create an asynchronous task, set `async_execution=True` when defining the task.
Tasks can be executed asynchronously, allowing for parallel processing when appropriate.
To create an asynchronous task, set `async_execution=True` when defining the task.
### Memory and Caching
CrewAI supports both memory and caching features:
- **Memory**: Enable by setting `memory=True` when creating the Crew. This allows agents to retain information across tasks.
- **Caching**: By default, caching is enabled. Set `cache=False` to disable it.
### Callbacks
You can set callbacks at both the task and step level:
- `task_callback`: Executed after each task completion.
- `step_callback`: Executed after each step in an agent's execution.
### Usage Metrics
CrewAI tracks token usage across all tasks and agents. You can access these metrics after execution.
## Best Practices for Sequential Processes
1. **Order Matters**: Arrange tasks in a logical sequence where each task builds upon the previous one.
2. **Clear Task Descriptions**: Provide detailed descriptions for each task to guide the agents effectively.
3. **Appropriate Agent Selection**: Match agents' skills and roles to the requirements of each task.
4. **Use Context**: Leverage the context from previous tasks to inform subsequent ones.

## Build your first CrewAI Agent
Let's create a simple crew that will help us `research` and `report` on the `latest AI developments` for a given topic or subject.
Before we proceed, make sure you have `crewai` and `crewai-tools` installed.
If you haven't installed them yet, you can do so by following the [installation guide](/installation).
Follow the steps below to get crewing! 🚣‍♂️
<Steps>
<Step title="Create your crew">
Create a new crew project by running the following command in your terminal.
This will create a new directory called `latest-ai-development` with the basic structure for your crew.
<CodeGroup>
```shell Terminal
crewai create crew latest-ai-development
```
</CodeGroup>
</Step>
<Step title="Modify your `agents.yaml` file">
<Tip>
You can also modify the agents as needed to fit your use case or copy and paste as is to your project.
Any variable interpolated in your `agents.yaml` and `tasks.yaml` files like `{topic}` will be replaced by the value of the variable in the `main.py` file.

Make sure the report is detailed and contains any and all relevant information.
expected_output: >
A fully fledge reports with the mains topics, each with a full section of information.
Formatted as markdown without '```'
agent: reporting_analyst
output_file: report.md
```
</Step>
<Step title="Modify your `crew.py` file">
```python crew.py
# src/latest_ai_development/crew.py
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
from crewai.project import CrewBase, agent, crew, task
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
@CrewBase
class LatestAiDevelopmentCrew():
"""LatestAiDevelopment crew"""
@agent
def researcher(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config['researcher'],
verbose=True,
tools=[SerperDevTool()]
)
@agent
def reporting_analyst(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config['reporting_analyst'],
verbose=True
)
@task
def research_task(self) -> Task:
return Task(
config=self.tasks_config['research_task'],
)
@task
def reporting_task(self) -> Task:
return Task(
config=self.tasks_config['reporting_task'],
output_file='output/report.md' # This is the file that will be contain the final report.
)
@crew
def crew(self) -> Crew:
"""Creates the LatestAiDevelopment crew"""
return Crew(
agents=self.agents, # Automatically created by the @agent decorator
tasks=self.tasks, # Automatically created by the @task decorator
process=Process.sequential,
verbose=True,
)
```
</Step>
<Step title="[Optional] Add before and after crew functions">
```python crew.py
# src/latest_ai_development/crew.py
from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
from crewai.project import CrewBase, agent, crew, task, before_kickoff, after_kickoff
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
@CrewBase
class LatestAiDevelopmentCrew():
"""LatestAiDevelopment crew"""
@before_kickoff
def before_kickoff_function(self, inputs):
print(f"Before kickoff function with inputs: {inputs}")
return inputs # You can return the inputs or modify them as needed
@after_kickoff
def after_kickoff_function(self, result):
print(f"After kickoff function with result: {result}")
return result # You can return the result or modify it as needed
# ... remaining code
```
</Step>
<Step title="Feel free to pass custom inputs to your crew">
For example, you can pass the `topic` input to your crew to customize the research and reporting.
```python main.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
# src/latest_ai_development/main.py
import sys
from latest_ai_development.crew import LatestAiDevelopmentCrew
def run():
"""
Run the crew.
"""
inputs = {
'topic': 'AI Agents'
}
LatestAiDevelopmentCrew().crew().kickoff(inputs=inputs)
```
</Step>
<Step title="Set your environment variables">
Before running your crew, make sure you have the following keys set as environment variables in your `.env` file:
- An [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys) (or other LLM API key): `OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...`
- A [Serper.dev](https://serper.dev/) API key: `SERPER_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE`
</Step>
<Step title="Lock and install the dependencies">
Lock the dependencies and install them by using the CLI command but first, navigate to your project directory:
<CodeGroup>
```shell Terminal
cd latest-ai-development
crewai install
```
</CodeGroup>
</Step>
<Step title="Run your crew">
To run your crew, execute the following command in the root of your project:
<CodeGroup>
```bash Terminal
crewai run
```
</CodeGroup>
</Step>
<Step title="View your final report">
You should see the output in the console and the `report.md` file should be created in the root of your project with the final report.
Here's an example of what the report should look like:
<CodeGroup>
```markdown output/report.md
# Comprehensive Report on the Rise and Impact of AI Agents in 2024

</Step>
</Steps>
### Note on Consistency in Naming
The names you use in your YAML files (`agents.yaml` and `tasks.yaml`) should match the method names in your Python code.
For example, you can reference the agent for specific tasks from `tasks.yaml` file.
This naming consistency allows CrewAI to automatically link your configurations with your code; otherwise, your task won't recognize the reference properly.
#### Example References
<Tip>
Note how we use the same name for the agent in the `agents.yaml` (`email_summarizer`) file as the method name in the `crew.py` (`email_summarizer`) file.
</Tip>
```yaml agents.yaml
email_summarizer:
role: >
Email Summarizer
goal: >
Summarize emails into a concise and clear summary
backstory: >
You will create a 5 bullet point summary of the report
llm: mixtal_llm
```
<Tip>
Note how we use the same name for the agent in the `tasks.yaml` (`email_summarizer_task`) file as the method name in the `crew.py` (`email_summarizer_task`) file.
</Tip>
```yaml tasks.yaml
email_summarizer_task:
description: >
Summarize the email into a 5 bullet point summary
expected_output: >
A 5 bullet point summary of the email
agent: email_summarizer
context:
- reporting_task
- research_task
```
Use the annotations to properly reference the agent and task in the `crew.py` file.
### Annotations include:
* `@agent`
* `@task`
* `@crew`
* `@tool`
* `@before_kickoff`
* `@after_kickoff`
* `@callback`
* `@output_json`
* `@output_pydantic`
* `@cache_handler`
```python crew.py
# ...
@agent
def email_summarizer(self) -> Agent:
return Agent(
config=self.agents_config["email_summarizer"],
)
@task
def email_summarizer_task(self) -> Task:
return Task(
config=self.tasks_config["email_summarizer_task"],
)
# ...
```
<Tip>
In addition to the [sequential process](../how-to/sequential-process), you can use the [hierarchical process](../how-to/hierarchical-process),
which automatically assigns a manager to the defined crew to properly coordinate the planning and execution of tasks through delegation and validation of results.
You can learn more about the core concepts [here](/concepts).
</Tip>
### Replay Tasks from Latest Crew Kickoff
CrewAI now includes a replay feature that allows you to list the tasks from the last run and replay from a specific one. To use this feature, run.
```shell
crewai replay <task_id>
```
Replace `<task_id>` with the ID of the task you want to replay.
### Reset Crew Memory
If you need to reset the memory of your crew before running it again, you can do so by calling the reset memory feature:
```shell
crewai reset-memories --all
```
This will clear the crew's memory, allowing for a fresh start.
## Deploying Your Project
The easiest way to deploy your crew is through CrewAI Enterprise, where you can deploy your crew in a few clicks.

# CSVSearchTool
!!! note "Experimental"
We are still working on improving tools, so there might be unexpected behavior or changes in the future.
## Description
This tool is used to perform a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) search within a CSV file's content. It allows users to semantically search for queries in the content of a specified CSV file. This feature is particularly useful for extracting information from large CSV datasets where traditional search methods might be inefficient. All tools with "Search" in their name, including CSVSearchTool, are RAG tools designed for searching different sources of data.
## Installation
Install the crewai_tools package
```shell
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
## Example
```python
from crewai_tools import CSVSearchTool
# Initialize the tool with a specific CSV file. This setup allows the agent to only search the given CSV file.
tool = CSVSearchTool(csv='path/to/your/csvfile.csv')
# OR
# Initialize the tool without a specific CSV file. Agent will need to provide the CSV path at runtime.
tool = CSVSearchTool()
```
## Arguments
- `csv` : The path to the CSV file you want to search. This is a mandatory argument if the tool was initialized without a specific CSV file; otherwise, it is optional.
## Custom model and embeddings
By default, the tool uses OpenAI for both embeddings and summarization. To customize the model, you can use a config dictionary as follows:
```python
tool = CSVSearchTool(
config=dict(
llm=dict(
provider="ollama", # or google, openai, anthropic, llama2, ...
config=dict(
model="llama2",
# temperature=0.5,
# top_p=1,
# stream=true,

# CodeDocsSearchTool
!!! note "Experimental"
We are still working on improving tools, so there might be unexpected behavior or changes in the future.
## Description
The CodeDocsSearchTool is a powerful RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) tool designed for semantic searches within code documentation. It enables users to efficiently find specific information or topics within code documentation. By providing a `docs_url` during initialization, the tool narrows down the search to that particular documentation site. Alternatively, without a specific `docs_url`, it searches across a wide array of code documentation known or discovered throughout its execution, making it versatile for various documentation search needs.
## Installation
To start using the CodeDocsSearchTool, first, install the crewai_tools package via pip:
```
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
## Example
Utilize the CodeDocsSearchTool as follows to conduct searches within code documentation:
```python
from crewai_tools import CodeDocsSearchTool
# To search any code documentation content if the URL is known or discovered during its execution:
tool = CodeDocsSearchTool()
# OR
# To specifically focus your search on a given documentation site by providing its URL:
tool = CodeDocsSearchTool(docs_url='https://docs.example.com/reference')
```
Note: Substitute 'https://docs.example.com/reference' with your target documentation URL and 'How to use search tool' with the search query relevant to your needs.
## Arguments
- `docs_url`: Optional. Specifies the URL of the code documentation to be searched. Providing this during the tool's initialization focuses the search on the specified documentation content.
## Custom model and embeddings
By default, the tool uses OpenAI for both embeddings and summarization. To customize the model, you can use a config dictionary as follows:
```python
tool = CodeDocsSearchTool(
config=dict(
llm=dict(
provider="ollama", # or google, openai, anthropic, llama2, ...
config=dict(
model="llama2",

tool = DirectoryReadTool()
# OR
# Initialize the tool with a specific directory, so the agent can only read the content of the specified directory
tool = DirectoryReadTool(directory='/path/to/your/directory')
```
## Arguments
The DirectoryReadTool requires minimal configuration for use. The essential argument for this tool is as follows:
- `directory`: **Optional**. An argument that specifies the path to the directory whose contents you wish to list. It accepts both absolute and relative paths, guiding the tool to the desired directory for content listing.

## Description
The PGSearchTool is envisioned as a powerful tool for facilitating semantic searches within PostgreSQL database tables. By leveraging advanced Retrieve and Generate (RAG) technology, it aims to provide an efficient means for querying database table content, specifically tailored for PostgreSQL databases. The tool's goal is to simplify the process of finding relevant data through semantic search queries, offering a valuable resource for users needing to conduct advanced queries on extensive datasets within a PostgreSQL environment.
## Installation
The `crewai_tools` package, which will include the PGSearchTool upon its release, can be installed using the following command:
```shell
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
(Note: The PGSearchTool is not yet available in the current version of the `crewai_tools` package. This installation command will be updated once the tool is released.)
## Example Usage
Below is a proposed example showcasing how to use the PGSearchTool for conducting a semantic search on a table within a PostgreSQL database:
```python
from crewai_tools import PGSearchTool
# Initialize the tool with the database URI and the target table name
tool = PGSearchTool(db_uri='postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/mydatabase', table_name='employees')
```
## Arguments
The PGSearchTool is designed to require the following arguments for its operation:
- `db_uri`: A string representing the URI of the PostgreSQL database to be queried. This argument will be mandatory and must include the necessary authentication details and the location of the database.

# SpiderTool
## Description
[Spider](https://spider.cloud/?ref=crewai) is the [fastest](https://github.com/spider-rs/spider/blob/main/benches/BENCHMARKS.md#benchmark-results) open source scraper and crawler that returns LLM-ready data. It converts any website into pure HTML, markdown, metadata or text while enabling you to crawl with custom actions using AI.
## Installation
To use the Spider API you need to download the [Spider SDK](https://pypi.org/project/spider-client/) and the crewai[tools] SDK too:
```python
pip install spider-client 'crewai[tools]'
```
## Example
This example shows you how you can use the Spider tool to enable your agent to scrape and crawl websites. The data returned from the Spider API is already LLM-ready, so no need to do any cleaning there.
```python
from crewai_tools import SpiderTool
def main():
spider_tool = SpiderTool()
searcher = Agent(
role="Web Research Expert",
goal="Find related information from specific URL's",
backstory="An expert web researcher that uses the web extremely well",
tools=[spider_tool],
verbose=True,
)
return_metadata = Task(
description="Scrape https://spider.cloud with a limit of 1 and enable metadata",
expected_output="Metadata and 10 word summary of spider.cloud",
agent=searcher
)
crew = Crew(
agents=[searcher],
tasks=[
return_metadata,
],
verbose=2
)
crew.kickoff()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
## Arguments
- `api_key` (string, optional): Specifies Spider API key. If not specified, it looks for `SPIDER_API_KEY` in environment variables.
- `params` (object, optional): Optional parameters for the request. Defaults to `{"return_format": "markdown"}` to return the website's content in a format that fits LLMs better.
- `request` (string): The request type to perform. Possible values are `http`, `chrome`, and `smart`. Use `smart` to perform an HTTP request by default until JavaScript rendering is needed for the HTML.
- `limit` (int): The maximum number of pages allowed to crawl per website. Remove the value or set it to `0` to crawl all pages.
- `depth` (int): The crawl limit for maximum depth. If `0`, no limit will be applied.
- `cache` (bool): Use HTTP caching for the crawl to speed up repeated runs. Default is `true`.
- `budget` (object): Object that has paths with a counter for limiting the amount of pages example `{"*":1}` for only crawling the root page.
- `locale` (string): The locale to use for request, example `en-US`.
- `cookies` (string): Add HTTP cookies to use for request.
- `stealth` (bool): Use stealth mode for headless chrome request to help prevent being blocked. The default is `true` on chrome.
- `headers` (object): Forward HTTP headers to use for all request. The object is expected to be a map of key value pairs.
- `metadata` (bool): Boolean to store metadata about the pages and content found. This could help improve AI interopt. Defaults to `false` unless you have the website already stored with the configuration enabled.
- `viewport` (object): Configure the viewport for chrome. Defaults to `800x600`.
- `encoding` (string): The type of encoding to use like `UTF-8`, `SHIFT_JIS`, or etc.
- `subdomains` (bool): Allow subdomains to be included. Default is `false`.
- `user_agent` (string): Add a custom HTTP user agent to the request. By default this is set to a random agent.
- `store_data` (bool): Boolean to determine if storage should be used. If set this takes precedence over `storageless`. Defaults to `false`.
- `gpt_config` (object): Use AI to generate actions to perform during the crawl. You can pass an array for the `"prompt"` to chain steps.
- `fingerprint` (bool): Use advanced fingerprint for chrome.
- `storageless` (bool): Boolean to prevent storing any type of data for the request including storage and AI vectors embedding. Defaults to `false` unless you have the website already stored.
- `readability` (bool): Use [readability](https://github.com/mozilla/readability) to pre-process the content for reading. This may drastically improve the content for LLM usage.
`return_format` (string): The format to return the data in. Possible values are `markdown`, `raw`, `text`, and `html2text`. Use `raw` to return the default format of the page like HTML etc.
- `proxy_enabled` (bool): Enable high performance premium proxies for the request to prevent being blocked at the network level.
- `query_selector` (string): The CSS query selector to use when extracting content from the markup.
- `full_resources` (bool): Crawl and download all the resources for a website.
- `request_timeout` (int): The timeout to use for request. Timeouts can be from `5-60`. The default is `30` seconds.
- `run_in_background` (bool): Run the request in the background. Useful if storing data and wanting to trigger crawls to the dashboard. This has no effect if storageless is set.

# TXTSearchTool
!!! note "Experimental"
We are still working on improving tools, so there might be unexpected behavior or changes in the future.
## Description
This tool is used to perform a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) search within the content of a text file. It allows for semantic searching of a query within a specified text file's content, making it an invaluable resource for quickly extracting information or finding specific sections of text based on the query provided.
## Installation
To use the TXTSearchTool, you first need to install the crewai_tools package. This can be done using pip, a package manager for Python. Open your terminal or command prompt and enter the following command:
```shell
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
This command will download and install the TXTSearchTool along with any necessary dependencies.
## Example
The following example demonstrates how to use the TXTSearchTool to search within a text file. This example shows both the initialization of the tool with a specific text file and the subsequent search within that file's content.
```python
from crewai_tools import TXTSearchTool
# Initialize the tool to search within any text file's content the agent learns about during its execution
tool = TXTSearchTool()
# OR
# Initialize the tool with a specific text file, so the agent can search within the given text file's content
tool = TXTSearchTool(txt='path/to/text/file.txt')
```
## Arguments
- `txt` (str): **Optional**. The path to the text file you want to search. This argument is only required if the tool was not initialized with a specific text file; otherwise, the search will be conducted within the initially provided text file.
## Custom model and embeddings

```python
tool = TXTSearchTool(
config=dict(
llm=dict(
provider="ollama", # or google, openai, anthropic, llama2, ...
config=dict(
model="llama2",
# temperature=0.5,
# top_p=1,
# stream=true,
),
),
embedder=dict(
provider="google", # or openai, ollama, ...
config=dict(
model="models/embedding-001",
task_type="retrieval_document",

# `CodeDocsSearchTool`
<Note>
**Experimental**: We are still working on improving tools, so there might be unexpected behavior or changes in the future.
</Note>
## Description
The CodeDocsSearchTool is a powerful RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) tool designed for semantic searches within code documentation.
It enables users to efficiently find specific information or topics within code documentation. By providing a `docs_url` during initialization,
the tool narrows down the search to that particular documentation site. Alternatively, without a specific `docs_url`,
it searches across a wide array of code documentation known or discovered throughout its execution, making it versatile for various documentation search needs.
## Installation
To start using the CodeDocsSearchTool, first, install the crewai_tools package via pip:
```shell
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
## Example
Utilize the CodeDocsSearchTool as follows to conduct searches within code documentation:
```python Code
from crewai_tools import CodeDocsSearchTool
# To search any code documentation content
# if the URL is known or discovered during its execution:
tool = CodeDocsSearchTool()
# OR
# To specifically focus your search on a given documentation site
# by providing its URL:
tool = CodeDocsSearchTool(docs_url='https://docs.example.com/reference')
```
<Note>
Substitute 'https://docs.example.com/reference' with your target documentation URL
and 'How to use search tool' with the search query relevant to your needs.
</Note>
## Arguments
The following parameters can be used to customize the `CodeDocsSearchTool`'s behavior:
| Argument | Type | Description |
|:---------------|:---------|:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| **docs_url** | `string` | _Optional_. Specifies the URL of the code documentation to be searched. |
## Custom model and embeddings
By default, the tool uses OpenAI for both embeddings and summarization. To customize the model, you can use a config dictionary as follows:
```python Code
tool = CodeDocsSearchTool(
config=dict(
llm=dict(
provider="ollama", # or google, openai, anthropic, llama2, ...
