 ## Why CrewAI?
 
 The power of AI collaboration has too much to offer.
-CrewAI is designed to enable AI agents to assume roles, share goals, and operate in a cohesive unit - much like a well-oiled crew. Whether you're building a smart assistant platform, an automated customer service ensemble, or a multi-agent research team, CrewAI provides the backbone for sophisticated multi-agent interactions.
+CrewAI is a standalone framework, built from the ground up without dependencies on Langchain or other agent frameworks. It's designed to enable AI agents to assume roles, share goals, and operate in a cohesive unit - much like a well-oiled crew. Whether you're building a smart assistant platform, an automated customer service ensemble, or a multi-agent research team, CrewAI provides the backbone for sophisticated multi-agent interactions.

+
+### Understanding Flows and Crews
+
+CrewAI offers two powerful, complementary approaches that work seamlessly together to build sophisticated AI applications:
+
+1. **Crews**: Teams of AI agents with true autonomy and agency, working together to accomplish complex tasks through role-based collaboration. Crews enable:
+   - Natural, autonomous decision-making between agents
+   - Dynamic task delegation and collaboration
+   - Specialized roles with defined goals and expertise
+   - Flexible problem-solving approaches
+
+2. **Flows**: Production-ready, event-driven workflows that deliver precise control over complex automations. Flows provide:
+   - Fine-grained control over execution paths for real-world scenarios
+   - Secure, consistent state management between tasks
+   - Clean integration of AI agents with production Python code
+   - Conditional branching for complex business logic
+
+The true power of CrewAI emerges when combining Crews and Flows. This synergy allows you to:
+- Build complex, production-grade applications
+- Balance autonomy with precise control
+- Handle sophisticated real-world scenarios
+- Maintain clean, maintainable code structure

+### Using Crews and Flows Together
+
+CrewAI's power truly shines when combining Crews with Flows to create sophisticated automation pipelines. Here's how you can orchestrate multiple Crews within a Flow:
+
+```python
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start, router
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+# Define structured state for precise control
+class MarketState(BaseModel):

+            return "high_confidence"
+        elif self.state.confidence > 0.5:
+            return "medium_confidence"
+        return "low_confidence"
+
+    @listen("high_confidence")
+    def execute_strategy(self):
+        # Demonstrate complex decision making
+        strategy_crew = Crew(
+            agents=[
+                Agent(role="Strategy Expert",
+                      goal="Develop optimal market strategy")
+            ],
+            tasks=[
+                Task(description="Create detailed strategy based on analysis",
+                     expected_output="Step-by-step action plan")
+            ]
+        )
+        return strategy_crew.kickoff()

+    def request_additional_analysis(self):
+        self.state.recommendations.append("Gather more data")
+        return "Additional analysis required"
+```

+This example demonstrates how to:
+1. Use Python code for basic data operations
+2. Create and execute Crews as steps in your workflow
+3. Use Flow decorators to manage the sequence of operations
+4. Implement conditional branching based on Crew results

 ## Connecting Your Crew to a Model
 
 CrewAI supports using various LLMs through a variety of connection options. By default your agents will use the OpenAI API when querying the model. However, there are several other ways to allow your agents to connect to models. For example, you can configure your agents to use a local model via the Ollama tool.

 ## How CrewAI Compares
 
-**CrewAI's Advantage**: CrewAI is built with production in mind. It offers the flexibility of Autogen's conversational agents and the structured process approach of ChatDev, but without the rigidity. CrewAI's processes are designed to be dynamic and adaptable, fitting seamlessly into both development and production workflows.
+**CrewAI's Advantage**: CrewAI combines autonomous agent intelligence with precise workflow control through its unique Crews and Flows architecture. The framework excels at both high-level orchestration and low-level customization, enabling complex, production-grade systems with granular control.
 
-- **Autogen**: While Autogen does good in creating conversational agents capable of working together, it lacks an inherent concept of process. In Autogen, orchestrating agents' interactions requires additional programming, which can become complex and cumbersome as the scale of tasks grows.
+- **LangGraph**: While LangGraph provides a foundation for building agent workflows, its approach requires significant boilerplate code and complex state management patterns. The framework's tight coupling with LangChain can limit flexibility when implementing custom agent behaviors or integrating with external systems.
+
+*P.S. CrewAI demonstrates significant performance advantages over LangGraph, executing 5.76x faster in certain cases like this QA task example ([see comparison](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/Notebooks/CrewAI%20Flows%20%26%20Langgraph/QA%20Agent)) while achieving higher evaluation scores with faster completion times in certain coding tasks, like in this example ([detailed analysis](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/blob/main/Notebooks/CrewAI%20Flows%20%26%20Langgraph/Coding%20Assistant/coding_assistant_eval.ipynb)).*
+
+- **Autogen**: While Autogen excels at creating conversational agents capable of working together, it lacks an inherent concept of process. In Autogen, orchestrating agents' interactions requires additional programming, which can become complex and cumbersome as the scale of tasks grows.
 
 - **ChatDev**: ChatDev introduced the idea of processes into the realm of AI agents, but its implementation is quite rigid. Customizations in ChatDev are limited and not geared towards production environments, which can hinder scalability and flexibility in real-world applications.

+title: 'Event Listeners'
+description: 'Tap into CrewAI events to build custom integrations and monitoring'
+---
+
+# Event Listeners
+
+CrewAI provides a powerful event system that allows you to listen for and react to various events that occur during the execution of your Crew. This feature enables you to build custom integrations, monitoring solutions, logging systems, or any other functionality that needs to be triggered based on CrewAI's internal events.
+
+## How It Works
+
+CrewAI uses an event bus architecture to emit events throughout the execution lifecycle. The event system is built on the following components:
+
+1. **CrewAIEventsBus**: A singleton event bus that manages event registration and emission
+2. **CrewEvent**: Base class for all events in the system
+3. **BaseEventListener**: Abstract base class for creating custom event listeners
+
+When specific actions occur in CrewAI (like a Crew starting execution, an Agent completing a task, or a tool being used), the system emits corresponding events. You can register handlers for these events to execute custom code when they occur.
+
+## Creating a Custom Event Listener
+
+To create a custom event listener, you need to:
+
+1. Create a class that inherits from `BaseEventListener`
+2. Implement the `setup_listeners` method
+3. Register handlers for the events you're interested in
+4. Create an instance of your listener in the appropriate file
+
+Here's a simple example of a custom event listener class:
+
+```python
+from crewai.utilities.events import (
+    CrewKickoffStartedEvent,
+    CrewKickoffCompletedEvent,
+    AgentExecutionCompletedEvent,
+)
+from crewai.utilities.events.base_event_listener import BaseEventListener
+
+class MyCustomListener(BaseEventListener):
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__()
+    
+    def setup_listeners(self, crewai_event_bus):
+        @crewai_event_bus.on(CrewKickoffStartedEvent)
+        def on_crew_started(source, event):
+            print(f"Crew '{event.crew_name}' has started execution!")
+        
+        @crewai_event_bus.on(CrewKickoffCompletedEvent)
+        def on_crew_completed(source, event):
+            print(f"Crew '{event.crew_name}' has completed execution!")
+            print(f"Output: {event.output}")
+        
+        @crewai_event_bus.on(AgentExecutionCompletedEvent)
+        def on_agent_execution_completed(source, event):
+            print(f"Agent '{event.agent.role}' completed task")
+            print(f"Output: {event.output}")
+```
+
+## Properly Registering Your Listener
+
+Simply defining your listener class isn't enough. You need to create an instance of it and ensure it's imported in your application. This ensures that:
+
+1. The event handlers are registered with the event bus
+2. The listener instance remains in memory (not garbage collected)
+3. The listener is active when events are emitted
+
+### Option 1: Import and Instantiate in Your Crew or Flow Implementation
+
+The most important thing is to create an instance of your listener in the file where your Crew or Flow is defined and executed:
+
+#### For Crew-based Applications
+
+Create and import your listener at the top of your Crew implementation file:
+
+```python
+# In your crew.py file
+from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task
+from my_listeners import MyCustomListener
+
+# Create an instance of your listener
+my_listener = MyCustomListener()
+
+class MyCustomCrew:
+    # Your crew implementation...
+    
+    def crew(self):
+        return Crew(
+            agents=[...],
+            tasks=[...],
+            # ...
+        )
+```
+
+#### For Flow-based Applications
+
+Create and import your listener at the top of your Flow implementation file:
+
+```python
+# In your main.py or flow.py file
+from crewai.flow import Flow, listen, start
+from my_listeners import MyCustomListener
+
+# Create an instance of your listener
+my_listener = MyCustomListener()
+
+class MyCustomFlow(Flow):
+    # Your flow implementation...
+    
+    @start()
+    def first_step(self):
+        # ...
+```
+
+This ensures that your listener is loaded and active when your Crew or Flow is executed.
+
+### Option 2: Create a Package for Your Listeners
+
+For a more structured approach, especially if you have multiple listeners:
+
+1. Create a package for your listeners:
+
+```
+my_project/
+  ├── listeners/
+  │   ├── __init__.py
+  │   ├── my_custom_listener.py
+  │   └── another_listener.py
+```
+
+2. In `my_custom_listener.py`, define your listener class and create an instance:
+
+```python
+# my_custom_listener.py
+from crewai.utilities.events.base_event_listener import BaseEventListener
+# ... import events ...
+
+class MyCustomListener(BaseEventListener):
+    # ... implementation ...
+
+# Create an instance of your listener
+my_custom_listener = MyCustomListener()
+```
+
+3. In `__init__.py`, import the listener instances to ensure they're loaded:
+
+```python
+# __init__.py
+from .my_custom_listener import my_custom_listener
+from .another_listener import another_listener
+
+# Optionally export them if you need to access them elsewhere
+__all__ = ['my_custom_listener', 'another_listener']
+```
+
+4. Import your listeners package in your Crew or Flow file:
+
+```python
+# In your crew.py or flow.py file
+import my_project.listeners  # This loads all your listeners
+
+class MyCustomCrew:
+    # Your crew implementation...
+```
+
+This is exactly how CrewAI's built-in `agentops_listener` is registered. In the CrewAI codebase, you'll find:
+
+```python
+# src/crewai/utilities/events/third_party/__init__.py
+from .agentops_listener import agentops_listener
+```
+
+This ensures the `agentops_listener` is loaded when the `crewai.utilities.events` package is imported.
+
+## Available Event Types
+
+CrewAI provides a wide range of events that you can listen for:
+
+### Crew Events
+
+- **CrewKickoffStartedEvent**: Emitted when a Crew starts execution
+- **CrewKickoffCompletedEvent**: Emitted when a Crew completes execution

+- **LLMCallCompletedEvent**: Emitted when an LLM call completes
+- **LLMCallFailedEvent**: Emitted when an LLM call fails
+- **LLMStreamChunkEvent**: Emitted for each chunk received during streaming LLM responses
+
+## Event Handler Structure
+
+Each event handler receives two parameters:
+
+1. **source**: The object that emitted the event
+2. **event**: The event instance, containing event-specific data
+
+The structure of the event object depends on the event type, but all events inherit from `CrewEvent` and include:
+
+- **timestamp**: The time when the event was emitted
+- **type**: A string identifier for the event type
+
+Additional fields vary by event type. For example, `CrewKickoffCompletedEvent` includes `crew_name` and `output` fields.

+                self.session.record(self.tool_event)
+
+        @crewai_event_bus.on(ToolUsageErrorEvent)

+            agentops.ErrorEvent(exception=event.error, trigger_event=self.tool_event)
+```
+
+This listener initializes an AgentOps session when a Crew starts, registers agents with AgentOps, tracks tool usage, and ends the session when the Crew completes.
+
+The AgentOps listener is registered in CrewAI's event system through the import in `src/crewai/utilities/events/third_party/__init__.py`:
+
+```python
+from .agentops_listener import agentops_listener
+```
+
+This ensures the `agentops_listener` is loaded when the `crewai.utilities.events` package is imported.
+
+## Advanced Usage: Scoped Handlers
+
+For temporary event handling (useful for testing or specific operations), you can use the `scoped_handlers` context manager:
+
+```python
+from crewai.utilities.events import crewai_event_bus, CrewKickoffStartedEvent
+
+with crewai_event_bus.scoped_handlers():
+    @crewai_event_bus.on(CrewKickoffStartedEvent)
+    def temp_handler(source, event):
+        print("This handler only exists within this context")
+    
+    # Do something that emits events
+    
+# Outside the context, the temporary handler is removed
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+Event listeners can be used for a variety of purposes:
+
+1. **Logging and Monitoring**: Track the execution of your Crew and log important events
+2. **Analytics**: Collect data about your Crew's performance and behavior
+3. **Debugging**: Set up temporary listeners to debug specific issues
+4. **Integration**: Connect CrewAI with external systems like monitoring platforms, databases, or notification services
+5. **Custom Behavior**: Trigger custom actions based on specific events
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep Handlers Light**: Event handlers should be lightweight and avoid blocking operations
+2. **Error Handling**: Include proper error handling in your event handlers to prevent exceptions from affecting the main execution
+3. **Cleanup**: If your listener allocates resources, ensure they're properly cleaned up
+4. **Selective Listening**: Only listen for events you actually need to handle
+5. **Testing**: Test your event listeners in isolation to ensure they behave as expected
+
+By leveraging CrewAI's event system, you can extend its functionality and integrate it seamlessly with your existing infrastructure.

 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.

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

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

+Knowledge sources automatically chunk content for better processing. 
+You can configure chunking behavior in your knowledge sources:
 
-```python Code
-knowledge_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
-    content="Long content...",
-    chunk_size=4000,     # Characters per chunk (default)
-    chunk_overlap=200    # Overlap between chunks (default)
+```python

+    chunk_overlap=200     # Overlap between chunks (default: 200)
 )
 ```
 
-## Embedder Configuration
+The chunking configuration helps in:
+- Breaking down large documents into manageable pieces
+- Maintaining context through chunk overlap
+- Optimizing retrieval accuracy

+## Security Considerations
+
+When configuring memory storage:
+- Use environment variables for storage paths (e.g., `CREWAI_STORAGE_DIR`)
+- Never hardcode sensitive information like database credentials
+- Consider access permissions for storage directories
+- Use relative paths when possible to maintain portability
+
+Example using environment variables:
+```python
+import os
+from crewai import Crew
+from crewai.memory import LongTermMemory
+from crewai.memory.storage import LTMSQLiteStorage
+
+# Configure storage path using environment variable
+storage_path = os.getenv("CREWAI_STORAGE_DIR", "./storage")
+crew = Crew(
+    memory=True,
+    long_term_memory=LongTermMemory(
+        storage=LTMSQLiteStorage(
+            db_path="{storage_path}/memory.db".format(storage_path=storage_path)
+        )
+    )
+)
+```
+
+## Configuration Examples
+
+### Basic Memory Configuration
+```python
+from crewai import Crew
+from crewai.memory import LongTermMemory
+
+# Simple memory configuration
+crew = Crew(memory=True)  # Uses default storage locations
+```
+
+### Custom Storage Configuration
+```python
+from crewai import Crew
+from crewai.memory import LongTermMemory
+from crewai.memory.storage import LTMSQLiteStorage
+
+# Configure custom storage paths
+crew = Crew(
+    memory=True,
+    long_term_memory=LongTermMemory(

+# Integrate Langfuse with CrewAI
+
+This notebook demonstrates how to integrate **Langfuse** with **CrewAI** using OpenTelemetry via the **OpenLit** SDK. By the end of this notebook, you will be able to trace your CrewAI applications with Langfuse for improved observability and debugging.
+
+> **What is Langfuse?** [Langfuse](https://langfuse.com) is an open-source LLM engineering platform. It provides tracing and monitoring capabilities for LLM applications, helping developers debug, analyze, and optimize their AI systems. Langfuse integrates with various tools and frameworks via native integrations, OpenTelemetry, and APIs/SDKs.
+
+[![Langfuse Overview Video](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3926b288-ff61-4b95-8aa1-45d041c70866)](https://langfuse.com/watch-demo)
+
+## Get Started
+
+We'll walk through a simple example of using CrewAI and integrating it with Langfuse via OpenTelemetry using OpenLit.
+
+### Step 1: Install Dependencies
+
+
+```python
+%pip install langfuse openlit crewai crewai_tools
+```
+
+### Step 2: Set Up Environment Variables
+
+Set your Langfuse API keys and configure OpenTelemetry export settings to send traces to Langfuse. Please refer to the [Langfuse OpenTelemetry Docs](https://langfuse.com/docs/opentelemetry/get-started) for more information on the Langfuse OpenTelemetry endpoint `/api/public/otel` and authentication.
+
+
+```python
+import os
+import base64
+
+LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY="pk-lf-..."
+LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY="sk-lf-..."
+LANGFUSE_AUTH=base64.b64encode(f"{LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY}:{LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY}".encode()).decode()
+
+os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT"] = "https://cloud.langfuse.com/api/public/otel" # EU data region
+# os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT"] = "https://us.cloud.langfuse.com/api/public/otel" # US data region
+os.environ["OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS"] = f"Authorization=Basic {LANGFUSE_AUTH}"
+
+# your openai key
+os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "sk-..."
+```
+
+### Step 3: Initialize OpenLit
+
+Initialize the OpenLit OpenTelemetry instrumentation SDK to start capturing OpenTelemetry traces.
+
+
+```python
+import openlit
+
+openlit.init()
+```
+
+### Step 4: Create a Simple CrewAI Application
+
+We'll create a simple CrewAI application where multiple agents collaborate to answer a user's question.
+
+
+```python
+from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
+
+from crewai_tools import (
+    WebsiteSearchTool
+)
+
+web_rag_tool = WebsiteSearchTool()
+
+writer = Agent(
+        role="Writer",
+        goal="You make math engaging and understandable for young children through poetry",
+        backstory="You're an expert in writing haikus but you know nothing of math.",
+        tools=[web_rag_tool],  
+    )
+
+task = Task(description=("What is {multiplication}?"),
+            expected_output=("Compose a haiku that includes the answer."),
+            agent=writer)
+
+crew = Crew(
+  agents=[writer],
+  tasks=[task],
+  share_crew=False
+)
+```
+
+### Step 5: See Traces in Langfuse
+
+After running the agent, you can view the traces generated by your CrewAI application in [Langfuse](https://cloud.langfuse.com). You should see detailed steps of the LLM interactions, which can help you debug and optimize your AI agent.

-# Installing CrewAI
+CrewAI uses the `uv` as its dependency management and package handling tool. It simplifies project setup and execution, offering a seamless experience.
 
-CrewAI is a flexible and powerful AI framework that enables you to create and manage AI agents, tools, and tasks efficiently. 
-Let's get you set up! 🚀
+If you haven't installed `uv` yet, follow **step 1** to quickly get it set up on your system, else you can skip to **step 2**.
 
 <Steps>
-    <Step title="Install CrewAI">
-        Install CrewAI with all recommended tools using either method:
-        ```shell Terminal
-        pip install 'crewai[tools]'
+    <Step title="Install uv">
+      - **On macOS/Linux:**
+
+        Use `curl` to download the script and execute it with `sh`:
+
+        ```shell
+        curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
         ```
-        or
-        ```shell Terminal
-        pip install crewai crewai-tools
+        If your system doesn't have `curl`, you can use `wget`:
+
+        ```shell
+        wget -qO- https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
         ```
 
-        <Note>
-          Both methods install the core package and additional tools needed for most use cases.
-        </Note>
+      - **On Windows:**
+
+        Use `irm` to download the script and `iex` to execute it:
+
+        ```shell
+        powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
+        ```
+        If you run into any issues, refer to [UV's installation guide](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) for more information.
     </Step>
 
-    <Step title="Upgrade CrewAI (Existing Installations Only)">
-        If you have an older version of CrewAI installed, you can upgrade it:
-        ```shell Terminal
-        pip install --upgrade crewai crewai-tools
+    <Step title="Install CrewAI 🚀">
+      - Run the following command to install `crewai` CLI:
+        ```shell
+        uv tool install crewai
         ```
-
-        <Warning>
-            If you see a Poetry-related warning, you'll need to migrate to our new dependency manager:
-            ```shell Terminal
-            crewai update
+          <Warning>
+            If you encounter a `PATH` warning, run this command to update your shell:
+            ```shell
+            uv tool update-shell
             ```
-            This will update your project to use [UV](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv), our new faster dependency manager.
-        </Warning>
+          </Warning>
 
-        <Note>
-            Skip this step if you're doing a fresh installation.
-        </Note>
-    </Step>
-
-    <Step title="Verify Installation">
-        Check your installed versions:
-        ```shell Terminal
-        pip freeze | grep crewai
+      - To verify that `crewai` is installed, run:
+        ```shell
+        uv tools list
         ```
-
-        You should see something like:
-        ```markdown Output
-        crewai==X.X.X
-        crewai-tools==X.X.X

+
+# `AIMindTool`
+
+## Description
+
+The `AIMindTool` is a wrapper around [AI-Minds](https://mindsdb.com/minds) provided by [MindsDB](https://mindsdb.com/). It allows you to query data sources in natural language by simply configuring their connection parameters. This tool is useful when you need answers to questions from your data stored in various data sources including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, ClickHouse, Snowflake, and Google BigQuery.
+
+Minds are AI systems that work similarly to large language models (LLMs) but go beyond by answering any question from any data. This is accomplished by:
+- Selecting the most relevant data for an answer using parametric search
+- Understanding the meaning and providing responses within the correct context through semantic search
+- Delivering precise answers by analyzing data and using machine learning (ML) models
+
+## Installation
+
+To incorporate this tool into your project, you need to install the Minds SDK:
+
+```shell
+uv add minds-sdk
+```
+
+## Steps to Get Started
+
+To effectively use the `AIMindTool`, follow these steps:
+
+1. **Package Installation**: Confirm that the `crewai[tools]` and `minds-sdk` packages are installed in your Python environment.
+2. **API Key Acquisition**: Sign up for a Minds account [here](https://mdb.ai/register), and obtain an API key.
+3. **Environment Configuration**: Store your obtained API key in an environment variable named `MINDS_API_KEY` to facilitate its use by the tool.
+
+## Example

+            },
+            "tables": ["house_sales"]
+        }
+    ]
+)
+
+# Run a natural language query
+result = aimind_tool.run("How many 3 bedroom houses were sold in 2008?")
+print(result)
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+The `AIMindTool` accepts the following parameters:
+
+- **api_key**: Optional. Your Minds API key. If not provided, it will be read from the `MINDS_API_KEY` environment variable.
+- **datasources**: A list of dictionaries, each containing the following keys:
+  - **description**: A description of the data contained in the datasource.
+  - **engine**: The engine (or type) of the datasource.

+  - **tables**: A list of tables that the data source will use. This is optional and can be omitted if all tables in the data source are to be used.
+
+A list of supported data sources and their connection parameters can be found [here](https://docs.mdb.ai/docs/data_sources).
+
+## Agent Integration Example
+
+Here's how to integrate the `AIMindTool` with a CrewAI agent:
+
+```python Code
+from crewai import Agent
+from crewai.project import agent
+from crewai_tools import AIMindTool

+    agents=[data_analyst],
+    tasks=[analysis_task],
+    verbose=True,
+    process=Process.sequential,
+)
+result = crew.kickoff()
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+The `CodeInterpreterTool` uses Docker to create a secure environment for code execution:
+
+```python Code
+class CodeInterpreterTool(BaseTool):
+    name: str = "Code Interpreter"
+    description: str = "Interprets Python3 code strings with a final print statement."
+    args_schema: Type[BaseModel] = CodeInterpreterSchema
+    default_image_tag: str = "code-interpreter:latest"
+    
+    def _run(self, **kwargs) -> str:
+        code = kwargs.get("code", self.code)
+        libraries_used = kwargs.get("libraries_used", [])
+
+        if self.unsafe_mode:
+            return self.run_code_unsafe(code, libraries_used)
+        else:
+            return self.run_code_in_docker(code, libraries_used)
+```
+
+The tool performs the following steps:
+1. Verifies that the Docker image exists or builds it if necessary
+2. Creates a Docker container with the current working directory mounted
+3. Installs any required libraries specified by the agent
+4. Executes the Python code in the container
+5. Returns the output of the code execution
+6. Cleans up by stopping and removing the container
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+By default, the `CodeInterpreterTool` runs code in an isolated Docker container, which provides a layer of security. However, there are still some security considerations to keep in mind:
+
+1. The Docker container has access to the current working directory, so sensitive files could potentially be accessed.
+2. The `unsafe_mode` parameter allows code to be executed directly on the host machine, which should only be used in trusted environments.
+3. Be cautious when allowing agents to install arbitrary libraries, as they could potentially include malicious code.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The `CodeInterpreterTool` provides a powerful way for CrewAI agents to execute Python code in a relatively secure environment. By enabling agents to write and run code, it significantly expands their problem-solving capabilities, especially for tasks involving data analysis, calculations, or other computational work. This tool is particularly useful for agents that need to perform complex operations that are more efficiently expressed in code than in natural language.

+
+## Tool Parameters
+
+### Required Parameters
+- `qdrant_url` (str): The URL of your Qdrant server
+- `qdrant_api_key` (str): API key for authentication with Qdrant
+- `collection_name` (str): Name of the Qdrant collection to search
+
+### Optional Parameters
+- `limit` (int): Maximum number of results to return (default: 3)
+- `score_threshold` (float): Minimum similarity score threshold (default: 0.35)
+- `custom_embedding_fn` (Callable[[str], list[float]]): Custom function for text vectorization
+
+## Search Parameters
+
+The tool accepts these parameters in its schema:
+- `query` (str): The search query to find similar documents
+- `filter_by` (str, optional): Metadata field to filter on
+- `filter_value` (str, optional): Value to filter by
+
+## Return Format
+
+The tool returns results in JSON format:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "metadata": {
+      // Any metadata stored with the document
+    },
+    "context": "The actual text content of the document",
+    "distance": 0.95  // Similarity score
+  }
+]
+```
+
+## Default Embedding
+
+By default, the tool uses OpenAI's `text-embedding-3-small` model for vectorization. This requires:
+- OpenAI API key set in environment: `OPENAI_API_KEY`
+
+## Custom Embeddings
+
+Instead of using the default embedding model, you might want to use your own embedding function in cases where you:
+
+1. Want to use a different embedding model (e.g., Cohere, HuggingFace, Ollama models)
+2. Need to reduce costs by using open-source embedding models
+3. Have specific requirements for vector dimensions or embedding quality
+4. Want to use domain-specific embeddings (e.g., for medical or legal text)
+
+Here's an example using a HuggingFace model:
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
+import torch
+
+# Load model and tokenizer
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
+model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2')
+
+def custom_embeddings(text: str) -> list[float]:
+    # Tokenize and get model outputs
+    inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True)
+    outputs = model(**inputs)
+    
+    # Use mean pooling to get text embedding
+    embeddings = outputs.last_hidden_state.mean(dim=1)
+    
+    # Convert to list of floats and return
+    return embeddings[0].tolist()
+
+# Use custom embeddings with the tool
+tool = QdrantVectorSearchTool(
+    qdrant_url="your_url",
+    qdrant_api_key="your_key",
+    collection_name="your_collection",
+    custom_embedding_fn=custom_embeddings  # Pass your custom function
+)
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The tool handles these specific errors:
+- Raises ImportError if `qdrant-client` is not installed (with option to auto-install)
+- Raises ValueError if `QDRANT_URL` is not set
+- Prompts to install `qdrant-client` if missing using `uv add qdrant-client`
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Required environment variables:
+```bash
+export QDRANT_URL="your_qdrant_url"  # If not provided in constructor
+export QDRANT_API_KEY="your_api_key"  # If not provided in constructor

+    
+    # Implementation details...
+    
+    def _run(self, **kwargs: Any) -> Any:
+        website_url = kwargs.get("website_url", self.website_url)
+        css_element = kwargs.get("css_element", self.css_element)
+        page = requests.get(
+            website_url,
+            headers=self.headers,
+            cookies=self.cookies if self.cookies else {},
+        )
+        parsed = BeautifulSoup(page.content, "html.parser")
+        elements = parsed.select(css_element)

+
+## Implementation Details
+
+The `SeleniumScrapingTool` uses Selenium WebDriver to automate browser interactions:
+
+```python Code
+class SeleniumScrapingTool(BaseTool):
+    name: str = "Read a website content"
+    description: str = "A tool that can be used to read a website content."
+    args_schema: Type[BaseModel] = SeleniumScrapingToolSchema
+    
+    def _run(self, **kwargs: Any) -> Any:
+        website_url = kwargs.get("website_url", self.website_url)
+        css_element = kwargs.get("css_element", self.css_element)
+        return_html = kwargs.get("return_html", self.return_html)
+        driver = self._create_driver(website_url, self.cookie, self.wait_time)
+
+        content = self._get_content(driver, css_element, return_html)
+        driver.close()
+
+        return "\n".join(content)
+```
+
+The tool performs the following steps:
+1. Creates a headless Chrome browser instance
+2. Navigates to the specified URL
+3. Waits for the specified time to allow the page to load
+4. Adds any cookies if provided
+5. Extracts content based on the CSS selector
+6. Returns the extracted content as text or HTML
+7. Closes the browser instance
+
+## Handling Dynamic Content
+
+The `SeleniumScrapingTool` is particularly useful for scraping websites with dynamic content that is loaded via JavaScript. By using a real browser instance, it can:
+
+1. Execute JavaScript on the page
+2. Wait for dynamic content to load
+3. Interact with elements if needed
+4. Extract content that would not be available with simple HTTP requests
+
+You can adjust the `wait_time` parameter to ensure that all dynamic content has loaded before extraction.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The `SeleniumScrapingTool` provides a powerful way to extract content from websites using browser automation. By enabling agents to interact with websites as a real user would, it facilitates scraping of dynamic content that would be difficult or impossible to extract using simpler methods. This tool is particularly useful for research, data collection, and monitoring tasks that involve modern web applications with JavaScript-rendered content.

-- `youtube_video_url`: An optional argument at initialization but required if targeting a specific Youtube video. It specifies the Youtube video URL path you want to search within.
+- **youtube_video_url**: Optional. The URL of the YouTube video to search within. If provided during initialization, the agent won't need to specify it when using the tool.
+- **config**: Optional. Configuration for the underlying RAG system, including LLM and embedder settings.
+- **summarize**: Optional. Whether to summarize the retrieved content. Default is `False`.
 
-## Custom model and embeddings
+When using the tool with an agent, the agent will need to provide:
+
+- **search_query**: Required. The search query to find relevant information in the video content.
+- **youtube_video_url**: Required only if not provided during initialization. The URL of the YouTube video to search within.
+
+## 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 = YoutubeVideoSearchTool(
+youtube_search_tool = YoutubeVideoSearchTool(
     config=dict(
         llm=dict(

+## Agent Integration Example
+
+Here's a more detailed example of how to integrate the `YoutubeVideoSearchTool` with a CrewAI agent:
+
+```python Code
+from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
+from crewai_tools import YoutubeVideoSearchTool
+
+# Initialize the tool
+youtube_search_tool = YoutubeVideoSearchTool()
+
+# Define an agent that uses the tool
+video_researcher = Agent(
+    role="Video Researcher",
+    goal="Extract and analyze information from YouTube videos",
+    backstory="""You are an expert video researcher who specializes in extracting 
+    and analyzing information from YouTube videos. You have a keen eye for detail 
+    and can quickly identify key points and insights from video content.""",
+    tools=[youtube_search_tool],
+    verbose=True,
+)
+
+# Create a task for the agent
+research_task = Task(
+    description="""
+    Search for information about recent advancements in artificial intelligence 
+    in the YouTube video at {youtube_video_url}. 
+    
+    Focus on:
+    1. Key AI technologies mentioned
+    2. Real-world applications discussed
+    3. Future predictions made by the speaker
+    
+    Provide a comprehensive summary of these points.
+    """,
+    expected_output="A detailed summary of AI advancements, applications, and future predictions from the video.",
+    agent=video_researcher,
+)
+
+# Run the task
+crew = Crew(agents=[video_researcher], tasks=[research_task])
+result = crew.kickoff(inputs={"youtube_video_url": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=example"})
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+The `YoutubeVideoSearchTool` is implemented as a subclass of `RagTool`, which provides the base functionality for Retrieval-Augmented Generation:
+
+```python Code
+class YoutubeVideoSearchTool(RagTool):
+    name: str = "Search a Youtube Video content"
+    description: str = "A tool that can be used to semantic search a query from a Youtube Video content."
+    args_schema: Type[BaseModel] = YoutubeVideoSearchToolSchema
+
+    def __init__(self, youtube_video_url: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs):
+        super().__init__(**kwargs)
+        if youtube_video_url is not None:
+            kwargs["data_type"] = DataType.YOUTUBE_VIDEO
+            self.add(youtube_video_url)
+            self.description = f"A tool that can be used to semantic search a query the {youtube_video_url} Youtube Video content."
+            self.args_schema = FixedYoutubeVideoSearchToolSchema
+            self._generate_description()
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The `YoutubeVideoSearchTool` provides a powerful way to search and extract information from YouTube video content using RAG techniques. By enabling agents to search within video content, it facilitates information extraction and analysis tasks that would otherwise be difficult to perform. This tool is particularly useful for research, content analysis, and knowledge extraction from video sources.
