 ## A2A Agent Delegation

-CrewAI supports the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol, allowing agents to delegate tasks to remote specialized agents. The agent's LLM automatically decides whether to handle a task directly or delegate to an A2A agent based on the task requirements.
-
-<Note>
-  A2A delegation requires the `a2a-sdk` package. Install with: `uv add 'crewai[a2a]'` or `pip install 'crewai[a2a]'`
-</Note>
+CrewAI treats [A2A protocol](https://a2a-protocol.org/latest/) as a first-class delegation primitive, enabling agents to delegate tasks, request information, and collaborate with remote agents, as well as act as A2A-compliant server agents.
+In client mode, agents autonomously choose between local execution and remote delegation based on task requirements.

 ## How It Works

 When an agent is configured with A2A capabilities:

-1. The LLM analyzes each task
+1. The Agent analyzes each task
 2. It decides to either:
   - Handle the task directly using its own capabilities
   - Delegate to a remote A2A agent for specialized handling
 3. If delegating, the agent communicates with the remote A2A agent through the protocol
 4. Results are returned to the CrewAI workflow

+<Note>
+  A2A delegation requires the `a2a-sdk` package. Install with: `uv add 'crewai[a2a]'` or `pip install 'crewai[a2a]'`
+</Note>
+
 ## Basic Configuration

+<Warning>
+  `crewai.a2a.config.A2AConfig` is deprecated and will be removed in v2.0.0. Use `A2AClientConfig` for connecting to remote agents and/or `A2AServerConfig` for exposing agents as servers.
+</Warning>

 Configure an agent for A2A delegation by setting the `a2a` parameter:

+mode: "wide"
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide demonstrates how to integrate **Galileo** with **CrewAI**
+for comprehensive tracing and Evaluation Engineering.
+By the end of this guide, you will be able to trace your CrewAI agents,
+monitor their performance, and evaluate their behaviour with
+Galileo's powerful observability platform.
+
+> **What is Galileo?** [Galileo](https://galileo.ai) is AI evaluation and observability
+platform that delivers end-to-end tracing, evaluation,
+and monitoring for AI applications. It enables teams to capture ground truth,
+create robust guardrails, and run systematic experiments with
+built-in experiment tracking and performance analytics—ensuring reliability,
+transparency, and continuous improvement across the AI lifecycle.
+
+## Getting started
+
+This tutorial follows the [CrewAI quickstart](/en/quickstart) and shows how to add
+Galileo's [CrewAIEventListener](https://v2docs.galileo.ai/sdk-api/python/reference/handlers/crewai/handler),
+an event handler.
+For more information, see Galileo’s
+[Add Galileo to a CrewAI Application](https://v2docs.galileo.ai/how-to-guides/third-party-integrations/add-galileo-to-crewai/add-galileo-to-crewai)
+how-to guide.
+
+> **Note** This tutorial assumes you have completed the [CrewAI quickstart](/en/quickstart).
+If you want a completed comprehensive example, see the Galileo
+[CrewAI sdk-example repo](https://github.com/rungalileo/sdk-examples/tree/main/python/agent/crew-ai).
+
+### Step 1: Install dependencies
+
+Install the required dependencies for your app.
+Create a virtual environment using your preferred method,
+then install dependencies inside that environment using your
+preferred tool:
+
+```bash
+uv add galileo 
+```
+
+### Step 2: Add to the .env file from the [CrewAI quickstart](/en/quickstart)
+
+```bash
+# Your Galileo API key
+GALILEO_API_KEY="your-galileo-api-key"
+
+# Your Galileo project name
+GALILEO_PROJECT="your-galileo-project-name"
+
+# The name of the Log stream you want to use for logging
+GALILEO_LOG_STREAM="your-galileo-log-stream "
+```
+
+### Step 3: Add the Galileo event listener
+
+To enable logging with Galileo, you need to create an instance of the `CrewAIEventListener`.
+Import the Galileo CrewAI handler package by
+adding the following code at the top of your main.py file:
+
+```python
+from galileo.handlers.crewai.handler import CrewAIEventListener
+```
+
+At the start of your run function, create the event listener:
+
+```python
+def run():
+    # Create the event listener
+    CrewAIEventListener()
+    # The rest of your existing code goes here
+```
+
+When you create the listener instance, it is automatically
+registered with CrewAI.
+
+### Step 4: Run your crew
+
+Run your crew with the CrewAI CLI:
+
+```bash
+crewai run
+```
+
+### Step 5: View the traces in Galileo
+
+Once your crew has finished, the traces will be flushed and appear in Galileo.

+  
+## Understanding the Galileo Integration
+
+Galileo integrates with CrewAI by registering an event listener
+that captures Crew execution events (e.g., agent actions, tool calls, model responses)
+and forwards them to Galileo for observability and evaluation.
+
+### Understanding the event listener
+
+Creating a `CrewAIEventListener()` instance is all that’s
+required to enable Galileo for a CrewAI run. When instantiated, the listener:
+
+- Automatically registers itself with CrewAI
+- Reads Galileo configuration from environment variables
+- Logs all run data to the Galileo project and log stream specified by
+  `GALILEO_PROJECT` and `GALILEO_LOG_STREAM`
+
+No additional configuration or code changes are required.
+All data from this run is logged to the Galileo project and
+log stream specified by your environment configuration
+(for example, GALILEO_PROJECT and GALILEO_LOG_STREAM).

+---
+
+## Visão geral
+
+Este guia demonstra como integrar o **Galileo**com o **CrewAI**
+para rastreamento abrangente e engenharia de avaliação.
+Ao final deste guia, você será capaz de rastrear seus agentes CrewAI,
+monitorar seu desempenho e avaliar seu comportamento com
+A poderosa plataforma de observabilidade do Galileo.
+
+> **O que é Galileo?**[Galileo](https://galileo.ai/) é avaliação e observabilidade de IA
+plataforma que oferece rastreamento, avaliação e
+e monitoramento de aplicações de IA. Ele permite que as equipes capturem a verdade,
+criar grades de proteção robustas e realizar experimentos sistemáticos com
+rastreamento de experimentos integrado e análise de desempenho -garantindo confiabilidade,
+transparência e melhoria contínua em todo o ciclo de vida da IA.
+
+## Primeiros passos
+
+Este tutorial segue o [CrewAI Quickstart](pt-BR/quickstart) e mostra como adicionar
+[CrewAIEventListener] do Galileo(https://v2docs.galileo.ai/sdk-api/python/reference/handlers/crewai/handler),
+um manipulador de eventos.
+Para mais informações, consulte Galileu
+[Adicionar Galileo a um aplicativo CrewAI](https://v2docs.galileo.ai/how-to-guides/third-party-integrations/add-galileo-to-crewai/add-galileo-to-crewai)
+guia prático.
+
+> **Observação**Este tutorial pressupõe que você concluiu o [CrewAI Quickstart](pt-BR/quickstart).
+Se você quiser um exemplo completo e abrangente, consulte o Galileo
+[Repositório de exemplo SDK da CrewAI](https://github.com/rungalileo/sdk-examples/tree/main/python/agent/crew-ai).
+
+### Etapa 1: instalar dependências
+
+Instale as dependências necessárias para seu aplicativo.
+Crie um ambiente virtual usando seu método preferido,
+em seguida, instale dependências dentro desse ambiente usando seu
+ferramenta preferida:
+
+```bash
+uv add galileo 
+```
+
+### Etapa 2: adicione ao arquivo .env do [CrewAI Quickstart](/pt-BR/quickstart)
+
+```bash
+# Your Galileo API key
+GALILEO_API_KEY="your-galileo-api-key"
+
+# Your Galileo project name
+GALILEO_PROJECT="your-galileo-project-name"
+
+# The name of the Log stream you want to use for logging
+GALILEO_LOG_STREAM="your-galileo-log-stream "
+```
+
+### Etapa 3: adicionar o ouvinte de eventos Galileo
+
+Para habilitar o registro com Galileo, você precisa criar uma instância do `CrewAIEventListener`.
+Importe o pacote manipulador Galileo CrewAI por
+adicionando o seguinte código no topo do seu arquivo main.py:
+
+```python
+from galileo.handlers.crewai.handler import CrewAIEventListener
+```
+
+No início da sua função run, crie o ouvinte de evento:
+
+```python
+def run():
+    # Create the event listener
+    CrewAIEventListener()
+    # The rest of your existing code goes here
+```
+
+Quando você cria a instância do listener, ela é automaticamente
+registrado na CrewAI.
+
+### Etapa 4: administre sua Crew
+
+Administre sua Crew com o CrewAI CLI:
+
+```bash
+crewai run
+```
+
+### Passo 5: Visualize os traços no Galileo
+
+Assim que sua tripulação terminar, os rastros serão eliminados e aparecerão no Galileo.
+
+![Galileo trace view](/images/galileo-trace-veiw.png)
+  
+## Compreendendo a integração do Galileo
+
+Galileo se integra ao CrewAI registrando um ouvinte de evento
+que captura eventos de execução da tripulação (por exemplo, ações do agente, chamadas de ferramentas, respostas do modelo)
+e os encaminha ao Galileo para observabilidade e avaliação.
+
+### Compreendendo o ouvinte de eventos
+
+Criar uma instância `CrewAIEventListener()` é tudo o que você precisa
+necessário para habilitar o Galileo para uma execução do CrewAI. Quando instanciado, o ouvinte:
+
+-Registra-se automaticamente no CrewAI
+-Lê a configuração do Galileo a partir de variáveis de ambiente
+-Registra todos os dados de execução no projeto Galileo e fluxo de log especificado por
+  `GALILEO_PROJECT` e `GALILEO_LOG_STREAM`
+
+Nenhuma configuração adicional ou alterações de código são necessárias.
+Todos os dados desta execução são registados no projecto Galileo e
+fluxo de log especificado pela configuração do seu ambiente
+(por exemplo, GALILEO_PROJECT e GALILEO_LOG_STREAM).
