+## Adding Agents to Flows
+
+Agents can be seamlessly integrated into your flows, providing a lightweight alternative to full Crews when you need simpler, focused task execution. Here's an example of how to use an Agent within a flow to perform market research:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from typing import Any, Dict, List

+from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
+from pydantic import BaseModel, Field

+            for competitor in market_analysis.competitors:
+                print(f"- {competitor}")
+        else:

+    return result
+
+
+# Run the flow
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    asyncio.run(run_flow())
+```
+
+This example demonstrates several key features of using Agents in flows:
+
+1. **Structured Output**: Using Pydantic models to define the expected output format (`MarketAnalysis`) ensures type safety and structured data throughout the flow.
+
+2. **State Management**: The flow state (`MarketResearchState`) maintains context between steps and stores both inputs and outputs.
+
+3. **Tool Integration**: Agents can use tools (like `WebsiteSearchTool`) to enhance their capabilities.

+)
+```
+
+### Using External Memory
+
+External Memory is a powerful feature that allows you to integrate external memory systems with your CrewAI applications. This is particularly useful when you want to use specialized memory providers or maintain memory across different applications.
+Since it’s an external memory, we’re not able to add a default value to it - unlike with Long Term and Short Term memory. 
+
+#### Basic Usage with Mem0
+
+The most common way to use External Memory is with Mem0 as the provider:
+
+```python
+import os
+from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
+from crewai.memory.external.external_memory import ExternalMemory
+
+os.environ["MEM0_API_KEY"] = "YOUR-API-KEY"
+
+agent = Agent(
+    role="You are a helpful assistant",
+    goal="Plan a vacation for the user",
+    backstory="You are a helpful assistant that can plan a vacation for the user",
+    verbose=True,
+)
+task = Task(
+    description="Give things related to the user's vacation",
+    expected_output="A plan for the vacation",
+    agent=agent,
+)
+
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=[agent],
+    tasks=[task],
+    verbose=True,
+    process=Process.sequential,
+    external_memory=ExternalMemory(
+        embedder_config={"provider": "mem0", "config": {"user_id": "U-123"}} # you can provide an entire Mem0 configuration
+    ),
+)
+
+crew.kickoff(
+    inputs={"question": "which destination is better for a beach vacation?"}
+)
+```
+
+#### Using External Memory with Custom Storage
+
+You can also create custom storage implementations for External Memory. Here's an example of how to create a custom storage:
+
+```python
+from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
+from crewai.memory.external.external_memory import ExternalMemory
+from crewai.memory.storage.interface import Storage
+
+
+class CustomStorage(Storage):
+    def __init__(self):
+        self.memories = []
+
+    def save(self, value, metadata=None, agent=None):
+        self.memories.append({"value": value, "metadata": metadata, "agent": agent})
+
+    def search(self, query, limit=10, score_threshold=0.5):
+        # Implement your search logic here
+        return []
+
+    def reset(self):
+        self.memories = []
+
+
+# Create external memory with custom storage
+external_memory = ExternalMemory(
+    storage=CustomStorage(),
+    embedder_config={"provider": "mem0", "config": {"user_id": "U-123"}},
+)
+
+agent = Agent(
+    role="You are a helpful assistant",
+    goal="Plan a vacation for the user",
+    backstory="You are a helpful assistant that can plan a vacation for the user",
+    verbose=True,
+)
+task = Task(
+    description="Give things related to the user's vacation",
+    expected_output="A plan for the vacation",
+    agent=agent,
+)
+
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=[agent],
+    tasks=[task],
+    verbose=True,
+    process=Process.sequential,
+    external_memory=external_memory,
+)
+
+crew.kickoff(
+    inputs={"question": "which destination is better for a beach vacation?"}

+
+# Arize Phoenix Integration
+
+This guide demonstrates how to integrate **Arize Phoenix** with **CrewAI** using OpenTelemetry via the [OpenInference](https://github.com/openinference/openinference) SDK. By the end of this guide, you will be able to trace your CrewAI agents and easily debug your agents.
+
+> **What is Arize Phoenix?** [Arize Phoenix](https://phoenix.arize.com) is an LLM observability platform that provides tracing and evaluation for AI applications.
+
+[![Watch a Video Demo of Our Integration with Phoenix](https://storage.googleapis.com/arize-assets/fixtures/setup_crewai.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc5q3l6F7Ww)
+
+## Get Started
+
+We'll walk through a simple example of using CrewAI and integrating it with Arize Phoenix via OpenTelemetry using OpenInference.
+
+You can also access this guide on [Google Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/github/Arize-ai/phoenix/blob/main/tutorials/tracing/crewai_tracing_tutorial.ipynb).
+
+### Step 1: Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+pip install openinference-instrumentation-crewai crewai crewai-tools arize-phoenix-otel
+```
+
+### Step 2: Set Up Environment Variables
+
+Setup Phoenix Cloud API keys and configure OpenTelemetry to send traces to Phoenix. Phoenix Cloud is a hosted version of Arize Phoenix, but it is not required to use this integration.
+
+You can get your free Serper API key [here](https://serper.dev/).
+
+```python
+import os
+from getpass import getpass
+
+# Get your Phoenix Cloud credentials
+PHOENIX_API_KEY = getpass("🔑 Enter your Phoenix Cloud API Key: ")
+
+# Get API keys for services
+OPENAI_API_KEY = getpass("🔑 Enter your OpenAI API key: ")
+SERPER_API_KEY = getpass("🔑 Enter your Serper API key: ")
+
+# Set environment variables
+os.environ["PHOENIX_CLIENT_HEADERS"] = f"api_key={PHOENIX_API_KEY}"
+os.environ["PHOENIX_COLLECTOR_ENDPOINT"] = "https://app.phoenix.arize.com" # Phoenix Cloud, change this to your own endpoint if you are using a self-hosted instance
+os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = OPENAI_API_KEY
+os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = SERPER_API_KEY
+```
+
+### Step 3: Initialize OpenTelemetry with Phoenix
+
+Initialize the OpenInference OpenTelemetry instrumentation SDK to start capturing traces and send them to Phoenix. 
+
+```python
+from phoenix.otel import register
+
+tracer_provider = register(
+    project_name="crewai-tracing-demo",
+    auto_instrument=True,
+)
+```
+
+### Step 4: Create a CrewAI Application
+
+We'll create a CrewAI application where two agents collaborate to research and write a blog post about AI advancements.
+
+```python
+from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process, Task
+from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
+
+search_tool = SerperDevTool()
+
+# Define your agents with roles and goals
+researcher = Agent(
+    role="Senior Research Analyst",
+    goal="Uncover cutting-edge developments in AI and data science",
+    backstory="""You work at a leading tech think tank.
+    Your expertise lies in identifying emerging trends.
+    You have a knack for dissecting complex data and presenting actionable insights.""",
+    verbose=True,
+    allow_delegation=False,
+    # You can pass an optional llm attribute specifying what model you wanna use.
+    # llm=ChatOpenAI(model_name="gpt-3.5", temperature=0.7),
+    tools=[search_tool],
+)
+writer = Agent(
+    role="Tech Content Strategist",
+    goal="Craft compelling content on tech advancements",
+    backstory="""You are a renowned Content Strategist, known for your insightful and engaging articles.
+    You transform complex concepts into compelling narratives.""",
+    verbose=True,
+    allow_delegation=True,
+)
+
+# Create tasks for your agents
+task1 = Task(
+    description="""Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the latest advancements in AI in 2024.
+    Identify key trends, breakthrough technologies, and potential industry impacts.""",
+    expected_output="Full analysis report in bullet points",
+    agent=researcher,
+)
+
+task2 = Task(
+    description="""Using the insights provided, develop an engaging blog
+    post that highlights the most significant AI advancements.
+    Your post should be informative yet accessible, catering to a tech-savvy audience.
+    Make it sound cool, avoid complex words so it doesn't sound like AI.""",
+    expected_output="Full blog post of at least 4 paragraphs",
+    agent=writer,
+)
+
+# Instantiate your crew with a sequential process
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=[researcher, writer], tasks=[task1, task2], verbose=1, process=Process.sequential
+)
+
+# Get your crew to work!
+result = crew.kickoff()
+
+print("######################")
+print(result)
+```
+
+### Step 5: View Traces in Phoenix
+
+After running the agent, you can view the traces generated by your CrewAI application in Phoenix. You should see detailed steps of the agent interactions and LLM calls, which can help you debug and optimize your AI agents.
+
+Log into your Phoenix Cloud account and navigate to the project you specified in the `project_name` parameter. You'll see a timeline view of your trace with all the agent interactions, tool usages, and LLM calls.
+

 ## Conclusion
 
-The `WeaviateVectorSearchTool` provides a powerful way to search for semantically similar documents in a Weaviate vector database. By leveraging vector embeddings, it enables more accurate and contextually relevant search results compared to traditional keyword-based searches. This tool is particularly useful for applications that require finding information based on meaning rather than exact matches.
