 ## 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 combines autonomous agent intelligence with precise workflow control through its unique Crews and Flows architecture. The framework excels at both high-level orchestration and low-level customization, enabling complex, production-grade systems with granular control.
+**CrewAI's Advantage**: CrewAI is built with production in mind. It offers the flexibility of Autogen's conversational agents and the structured process approach of ChatDev, but without the rigidity. CrewAI's processes are designed to be dynamic and adaptable, fitting seamlessly into both development and production workflows.
 
-- **LangGraph**: While LangGraph provides a foundation for building agent workflows, its approach requires significant boilerplate code and complex state management patterns. The framework's tight coupling with LangChain can limit flexibility when implementing custom agent behaviors or integrating with external systems.

-*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.

-## Creating Crews
-
-There are two ways to create crews in CrewAI: using **YAML configuration (recommended)** or defining them **directly in code**.
-
-### YAML Configuration (Recommended)
-
-Using YAML configuration provides a cleaner, more maintainable way to define crews and is consistent with how agents and tasks are defined in CrewAI projects.
-
-After creating your CrewAI project as outlined in the [Installation](/installation) section, you can define your crew in a class that inherits from `CrewBase` and uses decorators to define agents, tasks, and the crew itself.
-
-#### Example Crew Class with Decorators

-
-The `CrewBase` class, along with these decorators, automates the collection of agents and tasks, reducing the need for manual management.
-
-#### Decorators overview from `annotations.py`
-
-CrewAI provides several decorators in the `annotations.py` file that are used to mark methods within your crew class for special handling:
-
-- `@CrewBase`: Marks the class as a crew base class.
-- `@agent`: Denotes a method that returns an `Agent` object.
-- `@task`: Denotes a method that returns a `Task` object.
-- `@crew`: Denotes the method that returns the `Crew` object.
-- `@before_kickoff`: (Optional) Marks a method to be executed before the crew starts.
-- `@after_kickoff`: (Optional) Marks a method to be executed after the crew finishes.
-
-These decorators help in organizing your crew's structure and automatically collecting agents and tasks without manually listing them.
-
-### Direct Code Definition (Alternative)
-
-Alternatively, you can define the crew directly in code without using YAML configuration files.
-
-```python code
-from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task, Process
-from crewai_tools import YourCustomTool
-
-class YourCrewName:
-    def agent_one(self) -> Agent:

-            description="Collect recent market data and identify trends.",
-            expected_output="A report summarizing key trends in the market.",
-            agent=self.agent_one()
-        )
-
-    def task_two(self) -> Task:

 4. **Flexible Control Flow**: Implement conditional logic, loops, and branching within your workflows.
 
+5. **Input Flexibility**: Flows can accept inputs to initialize or update their state, with different handling for structured and unstructured state management.

 ## 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
+### Passing Inputs to Flows
 
+Flows can accept inputs to initialize or update their state before execution. The way inputs are handled depends on whether the flow uses structured or unstructured state management.
+
+#### Structured State Management
+
+In structured state management, the flow's state is defined using a Pydantic `BaseModel`. Inputs must match the model's schema, and any updates will overwrite the default values.
+
+```python
 from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
-from dotenv import load_dotenv
-from litellm import completion
+from pydantic import BaseModel
 
+class ExampleState(BaseModel):
+    counter: int = 0

-            ],
-        )
+flow = StructuredExampleFlow()
+flow.kickoff(inputs={"counter": 10})
+```
 
-        random_city = response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
-        print(f"Random City: {random_city}")
+In this example, the `counter` is initialized to `10`, while `message` retains its default value.
 
-        return random_city
+#### Unstructured State Management
 
-    @listen(generate_city)
-    def generate_fun_fact(self, random_city):

-                },
-            ],
-        )
+In unstructured state management, the flow's state is a dictionary. You can pass any dictionary to update the state.
 
-        fun_fact = response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
-        return fun_fact
+```python
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
 
+class UnstructuredExampleFlow(Flow):
+    @start()
+    def first_method(self):
+        # Implementation
 
+flow = UnstructuredExampleFlow()
+flow.kickoff(inputs={"counter": 5, "message": "Initial message"})
+```
 
-flow = ExampleFlow()
-result = flow.kickoff()
+Here, both `counter` and `message` are updated based on the provided inputs.
 
-print(f"Generated fun fact: {result}")
+**Note:** Ensure that inputs for structured state management adhere to the defined schema to avoid validation errors.
+
+### Example Flow

+```python
+# Existing example code

+### Adding Additional Crews Using the CLI
+
+Once you have created your initial flow, you can easily add additional crews to your project using the CLI. This allows you to expand your flow's capabilities by integrating new crews without starting from scratch.
+
+To add a new crew to your existing flow, use the following command:
+
+```bash
+crewai flow add-crew <crew_name>
+```
+
+This command will create a new directory for your crew within the `crews` folder of your flow project. It will include the necessary configuration files and a crew definition file, similar to the initial setup.
+
+#### Folder Structure
+
+After adding a new crew, your folder structure will look like this:
+
+| Directory/File         | Description                                                        |

+| │   ├── `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.                              |
+| └── `name_of_crew/`       | Directory for the new crew.                                          |
+|     ├── `config/`         | Configuration files directory for the new crew.                     |
+|     │   ├── `agents.yaml` | YAML file defining the agents for the new crew.                     |
+|     │   └── `tasks.yaml`  | YAML file defining the tasks for the new crew.                      |
+|     └── `name_of_crew.py` | Script for the new crew functionality.                              |
+
+You can then customize the `agents.yaml` and `tasks.yaml` files to define the agents and tasks for your new crew. The `name_of_crew.py` file will contain the crew's logic, which you can modify to suit your needs.
+
+By using the CLI to add additional crews, you can efficiently build complex AI workflows that leverage multiple crews working together.

+## Advanced
+
+In this section, we explore more complex use cases of CrewAI Flows, starting with a self-evaluation loop. This pattern is crucial for developing AI systems that can iteratively improve their outputs through feedback.
+
+### 1) Self-Evaluation Loop
+
+The self-evaluation loop is a powerful pattern that allows AI workflows to automatically assess and refine their outputs. This example demonstrates how to set up a flow that generates content, evaluates it, and iterates based on feedback until the desired quality is achieved.
+
+#### Overview
+
+The self-evaluation loop involves two main Crews:
+
+1. **ShakespeareanXPostCrew**: Generates a Shakespearean-style post on a given topic.
+2. **XPostReviewCrew**: Evaluates the generated post, providing feedback on its validity and quality.
+
+The process iterates until the post meets the criteria or a maximum retry limit is reached. This approach ensures high-quality outputs through iterative refinement.
+
+#### Importance
+
+This pattern is essential for building robust AI systems that can adapt and improve over time. By automating the evaluation and feedback loop, developers can ensure that their AI workflows produce reliable and high-quality results.
+
+#### Main Code Highlights
+
+Below is the `main.py` file for the self-evaluation loop flow:
+
+```python

+def plot():
+    shakespeare_flow = ShakespeareXPostFlow()
+    shakespeare_flow.plot()
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    kickoff()
+```
+
+#### Code Highlights
+
+- **Retry Mechanism**: The flow uses a retry mechanism to regenerate the post if it doesn't meet the criteria, up to a maximum of three retries.
+- **Feedback Loop**: Feedback from the `XPostReviewCrew` is used to refine the post iteratively.
+- **State Management**: The flow maintains state using a Pydantic model, ensuring type safety and clarity.

+Here's a simple example using string-based knowledge:
 
-## Quickstart Example
-
-<Tip>
-For file-Based Knowledge Sources, make sure to place your files in a `knowledge` directory at the root of your project. 
-Also, use relative paths from the `knowledge` directory when creating the source.
-</Tip>
-
-Here's an example using string-based knowledge:
-
-```python Code
-from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, Process, LLM
-from crewai.knowledge.source.string_knowledge_source import StringKnowledgeSource
-
-# Create a knowledge source
-content = "Users name is John. He is 30 years old and lives in San Francisco."
-string_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
-    content=content,
-)
-
-# Create an LLM with a temperature of 0 to ensure deterministic outputs
-llm = LLM(model="gpt-4o-mini", temperature=0)
-
-# Create an agent with the knowledge store
-agent = Agent(
-    role="About User",
-    goal="You know everything about the user.",
-    backstory="""You are a master at understanding people and their preferences.""",
-    verbose=True,
-    allow_delegation=False,
-    llm=llm,
-)
-task = Task(
-    description="Answer the following questions about the user: {question}",
-    expected_output="An answer to the question.",
-    agent=agent,
-)
-
-crew = Crew(
-    agents=[agent],
-    tasks=[task],
-    verbose=True,
-    process=Process.sequential,
-    knowledge_sources=[string_source], # Enable knowledge by adding the sources here. You can also add more sources to the sources list.
-)
-
-result = crew.kickoff(inputs={"question": "What city does John live in and how old is he?"})
-```
-
-
-Here's another example with the `CrewDoclingSource`. The CrewDoclingSource is actually quite versatile and can handle multiple file formats including TXT, PDF, DOCX, HTML, and more. 
-
-```python Code
-from crewai import LLM, Agent, Crew, Process, Task
-from crewai.knowledge.source.crew_docling_source import CrewDoclingSource
-
-# Create a knowledge source
-content_source = CrewDoclingSource(
-    file_paths=[
-        "https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2024-11-28-reward-hacking",
-        "https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2024-07-07-hallucination",
-    ],
-)
-
-# Create an LLM with a temperature of 0 to ensure deterministic outputs
-llm = LLM(model="gpt-4o-mini", temperature=0)
-
-# Create an agent with the knowledge store
-agent = Agent(
-    role="About papers",
-    goal="You know everything about the papers.",
-    backstory="""You are a master at understanding papers and their content.""",
-    verbose=True,
-    allow_delegation=False,
-    llm=llm,
-)
-task = Task(
-    description="Answer the following questions about the papers: {question}",
-    expected_output="An answer to the question.",
-    agent=agent,
-)
-
-crew = Crew(
-    agents=[agent],
-    tasks=[task],
-    verbose=True,
-    process=Process.sequential,
-    knowledge_sources=[
-        content_source
-    ],  # Enable knowledge by adding the sources here. You can also add more sources to the sources list.
-)
-
-result = crew.kickoff(
-    inputs={
-        "question": "What is the reward hacking paper about? Be sure to provide sources."
-    }
-)
-```

-    knowledge_sources=[json_source]
-)
-
-crew = Crew(
-    ...
-    knowledge_sources=[json_source]
-)
+result = crew.kickoff()
 ```
 
 ## Knowledge Configuration
 
-### Chunking Configuration
+### Collection Names
 
-Knowledge sources automatically chunk content for better processing. 
-You can configure chunking behavior in your knowledge sources:
+Knowledge sources are organized into collections for better management:
 
 ```python
-from crewai.knowledge.source.string_knowledge_source import StringKnowledgeSource
+# Create knowledge sources with specific collections
+tech_specs = StringKnowledgeSource(
+    content="Technical specifications...",
+    collection_name="product_tech_specs"
+)
 
-source = StringKnowledgeSource(
-    content="Your content here",
-    chunk_size=4000,      # Maximum size of each chunk (default: 4000)
-    chunk_overlap=200     # Overlap between chunks (default: 200)
+pricing_info = StringKnowledgeSource(
+    content="Pricing information...",
+    collection_name="product_pricing"
 )
 ```
 
-The chunking configuration helps in:
-- Breaking down large documents into manageable pieces
-- Maintaining context through chunk overlap
-- Optimizing retrieval accuracy
+### Metadata and Filtering
 
-### Embeddings Configuration
+Add metadata to organize and filter knowledge:
 
-You can also configure the embedder for the knowledge store. 
-This is useful if you want to use a different embedder for the knowledge store than the one used for the agents.
-The `embedder` parameter supports various embedding model providers that include:
-- `openai`: OpenAI's embedding models
-- `google`: Google's text embedding models
-- `azure`: Azure OpenAI embeddings
-- `ollama`: Local embeddings with Ollama
-- `vertexai`: Google Cloud VertexAI embeddings
-- `cohere`: Cohere's embedding models
-- `bedrock`: AWS Bedrock embeddings
-- `huggingface`: Hugging Face models
-- `watson`: IBM Watson embeddings
-
-Here's an example of how to configure the embedder for the knowledge store using Google's `text-embedding-004` model:
-<CodeGroup>
-```python Example
-from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, Process, LLM
-from crewai.knowledge.source.string_knowledge_source import StringKnowledgeSource
-import os
-
-# Get the GEMINI API key
-GEMINI_API_KEY = os.environ.get("GEMINI_API_KEY")
-
-# Create a knowledge source
-content = "Users name is John. He is 30 years old and lives in San Francisco."
-string_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
-    content=content,
+```python
+knowledge_source = StringKnowledgeSource(
+    content="Product details...",
+    metadata={
+        "category": "electronics",
+        "product_line": "premium",
+        "last_updated": "2024-03"
+    }
 )
+```
 
-# Create an LLM with a temperature of 0 to ensure deterministic outputs
-gemini_llm = LLM(
-    model="gemini/gemini-1.5-pro-002",
-    api_key=GEMINI_API_KEY,
-    temperature=0,
+### 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
 )
+```
 
-# Create an agent with the knowledge store
-agent = Agent(
-    role="About User",
-    goal="You know everything about the user.",
-    backstory="""You are a master at understanding people and their preferences.""",
-    verbose=True,
-    allow_delegation=False,
-    llm=gemini_llm,
-)
+## Advanced Usage
 
-task = Task(
-    description="Answer the following questions about the user: {question}",
-    expected_output="An answer to the question.",
-    agent=agent,
-)
+### 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],
-    verbose=True,
-    process=Process.sequential,
-    knowledge_sources=[string_source],
-    embedder={
-        "provider": "google",
-        "config": {
-            "model": "models/text-embedding-004",
-            "api_key": GEMINI_API_KEY,
-        }
+    knowledge_sources=[source],
+    embedder_config={
+        "model": "BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5",
+        "normalize": True,
+        "max_length": 512
     }
 )
-
-result = crew.kickoff(inputs={"question": "What city does John live in and how old is he?"})
-```
-```text Output
-# Agent: About User
-## Task: Answer the following questions about the user: What city does John live in and how old is he?
-
-# Agent: About User
-## Final Answer: 
-John is 30 years old and lives in San Francisco.
-```
-</CodeGroup>
-## Clearing Knowledge
-
-If you need to clear the knowledge stored in CrewAI, you can use the `crewai reset-memories` command with the `--knowledge` option.
-
-```bash Command
-crewai reset-memories --knowledge
-```
-
-This is useful when you've updated your knowledge sources and want to ensure that the agents are using the most recent information.
-
-## Agent-Specific Knowledge
-
-While knowledge can be provided at the crew level using `crew.knowledge_sources`, individual agents can also have their own knowledge sources using the `knowledge_sources` parameter:
-
-```python Code
-from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
-from crewai.knowledge.source.string_knowledge_source import StringKnowledgeSource
-
-# Create agent-specific knowledge about a product
-product_specs = StringKnowledgeSource(
-    content="""The XPS 13 laptop features:
-    - 13.4-inch 4K display
-    - Intel Core i7 processor
-    - 16GB RAM
-    - 512GB SSD storage
-    - 12-hour battery life""",
-    metadata={"category": "product_specs"}
-)
-
-# Create a support agent with product knowledge
-support_agent = Agent(
-    role="Technical Support Specialist",
-    goal="Provide accurate product information and support.",
-    backstory="You are an expert on our laptop products and specifications.",
-    knowledge_sources=[product_specs]  # Agent-specific knowledge
-)
-
-# Create a task that requires product knowledge
-support_task = Task(
-    description="Answer this customer question: {question}",
-    agent=support_agent
-)
-
-# Create and run the crew
-crew = Crew(
-    agents=[support_agent],
-    tasks=[support_task]
-)
-
-# Get answer about the laptop's specifications
-result = crew.kickoff(
-    inputs={"question": "What is the storage capacity of the XPS 13?"}
-)
-```
-
-<Info>
-  Benefits of agent-specific knowledge:
-  - Give agents specialized information for their roles
-  - Maintain separation of concerns between agents
-  - Combine with crew-level knowledge for layered information access
-</Info>
-
-## Custom Knowledge Sources
-
-CrewAI allows you to create custom knowledge sources for any type of data by extending the `BaseKnowledgeSource` class. Let's create a practical example that fetches and processes space news articles.
-

-#### Key Components Explained
-
-1. **Custom Knowledge Source (`SpaceNewsKnowledgeSource`)**:
-
-   - Extends `BaseKnowledgeSource` for integration with CrewAI
-   - Configurable API endpoint and article limit
-   - Implements three key methods:
-     - `load_content()`: Fetches articles from the API
-     - `_format_articles()`: Structures the articles into readable text
-     - `add()`: Processes and stores the content
-
-2. **Agent Configuration**:
-
-   - Specialized role as a Space News Analyst
-   - Uses the knowledge source to access space news
-
-3. **Task Setup**:
-
-   - Takes a user question as input through `{user_question}`
-   - Designed to provide detailed answers based on the knowledge source
-
-4. **Crew Orchestration**:
-   - Manages the workflow between agent and task
-   - Handles input/output through the kickoff method
-
-This example demonstrates how to:
-
-- Create a custom knowledge source that fetches real-time data
-- Process and format external data for AI consumption
-- Use the knowledge source to answer specific user questions
-- Integrate everything seamlessly with CrewAI's agent system
-
-#### About the Spaceflight News API
-
-The example uses the [Spaceflight News API](https://api.spaceflightnewsapi.net/v4/docs/), which:
-
-- Provides free access to space-related news articles
-- Requires no authentication
-- Returns structured data about space news
-- Supports pagination and filtering
-
-You can customize the API query by modifying the endpoint URL:
-
-```python
-# Fetch more articles
-recent_news = SpaceNewsKnowledgeSource(
-    api_endpoint="https://api.spaceflightnewsapi.net/v4/articles",
-    limit=20,  # Increase the number of articles
-)
-
-# Add search parameters
-recent_news = SpaceNewsKnowledgeSource(
-    api_endpoint="https://api.spaceflightnewsapi.net/v4/articles?search=NASA", # Search for NASA news
-    limit=10,
-)
 ```

-## Task Guardrails
-
-Task guardrails provide a way to validate and transform task outputs before they
-are passed to the next task. This feature helps ensure data quality and provides
-efeedback to agents when their output doesn't meet specific criteria.
-
-### Using Task Guardrails
-
-To add a guardrail to a task, provide a validation function through the `guardrail` parameter:
-
-```python Code
-from typing import Tuple, Union, Dict, Any
-
-def validate_blog_content(result: str) -> Tuple[bool, Union[Dict[str, Any], str]]:
-    """Validate blog content meets requirements."""
-    try:
-        # Check word count
-        word_count = len(result.split())
-        if word_count > 200:
-            return (False, {
-                "error": "Blog content exceeds 200 words",
-                "code": "WORD_COUNT_ERROR",
-                "context": {"word_count": word_count}
-            })
-
-        # Additional validation logic here
-        return (True, result.strip())
-    except Exception as e:
-        return (False, {
-            "error": "Unexpected error during validation",
-            "code": "SYSTEM_ERROR"
-        })
-
-blog_task = Task(
-    description="Write a blog post about AI",
-    expected_output="A blog post under 200 words",
-    agent=blog_agent,
-    guardrail=validate_blog_content  # Add the guardrail function
-)
-```
-
-### Guardrail Function Requirements
-
-1. **Function Signature**:
-   - Must accept exactly one parameter (the task output)
-   - Should return a tuple of `(bool, Any)`
-   - Type hints are recommended but optional
-
-2. **Return Values**:
-   - Success: Return `(True, validated_result)`
-   - Failure: Return `(False, error_details)`
-
-### Error Handling Best Practices
-
-1. **Structured Error Responses**:
-```python Code
-def validate_with_context(result: str) -> Tuple[bool, Union[Dict[str, Any], str]]:
-    try:
-        # Main validation logic
-        validated_data = perform_validation(result)
-        return (True, validated_data)
-    except ValidationError as e:
-        return (False, {
-            "error": str(e),
-            "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
-            "context": {"input": result}
-        })
-    except Exception as e:
-        return (False, {
-            "error": "Unexpected error",
-            "code": "SYSTEM_ERROR"
-        })
-```
-
-2. **Error Categories**:
-   - Use specific error codes
-   - Include relevant context
-   - Provide actionable feedback
-
-3. **Validation Chain**:
-```python Code
-from typing import Any, Dict, List, Tuple, Union
-
-def complex_validation(result: str) -> Tuple[bool, Union[str, Dict[str, Any]]]:
-    """Chain multiple validation steps."""
-    # Step 1: Basic validation
-    if not result:
-        return (False, {"error": "Empty result", "code": "EMPTY_INPUT"})
-
-    # Step 2: Content validation
-    try:
-        validated = validate_content(result)
-        if not validated:
-            return (False, {"error": "Invalid content", "code": "CONTENT_ERROR"})
-
-        # Step 3: Format validation
-        formatted = format_output(validated)
-        return (True, formatted)
-    except Exception as e:
-        return (False, {
-            "error": str(e),

-            "context": {"step": "content_validation"}

-
-### Handling Guardrail Results
-
-When a guardrail returns `(False, error)`:
-1. The error is sent back to the agent
-2. The agent attempts to fix the issue
-3. The process repeats until:
-   - The guardrail returns `(True, result)`
-   - Maximum retries are reached
-
-Example with retry handling:
-```python Code
-from typing import Optional, Tuple, Union
-
-def validate_json_output(result: str) -> Tuple[bool, Union[Dict[str, Any], str]]:
-    """Validate and parse JSON output."""
-    try:
-        # Try to parse as JSON
-        data = json.loads(result)
-        return (True, data)
-    except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
-        return (False, {
-            "error": "Invalid JSON format",
-            "code": "JSON_ERROR",
-            "context": {"line": e.lineno, "column": e.colno}
-        })
-
-task = Task(
-    description="Generate a JSON report",
-    expected_output="A valid JSON object",
-    agent=analyst,
-    guardrail=validate_json_output,
-    max_retries=3  # Limit retry attempts
-)
-```
-
-## Getting Structured Consistent Outputs from Tasks
-
-<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.
-
-Here’s 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.
-
-Here’s 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.

 These validations help in maintaining the consistency and reliability of task executions within the crewAI framework.
 
-## Task Guardrails
-
-Task guardrails provide a powerful way to validate, transform, or filter task outputs before they are passed to the next task. Guardrails are optional functions that execute before the next task starts, allowing you to ensure that task outputs meet specific requirements or formats.
-
-### Basic Usage
-
-```python Code
-from typing import Tuple, Union
-from crewai import Task
-
-def validate_json_output(result: str) -> Tuple[bool, Union[dict, str]]:
-    """Validate that the output is valid JSON."""
-    try:
-        json_data = json.loads(result)
-        return (True, json_data)
-    except json.JSONDecodeError:
-        return (False, "Output must be valid JSON")
-
-task = Task(
-    description="Generate JSON data",
-    expected_output="Valid JSON object",
-    guardrail=validate_json_output
-)
-```
-
-### How Guardrails Work
-
-1. **Optional Attribute**: Guardrails are an optional attribute at the task level, allowing you to add validation only where needed.
-2. **Execution Timing**: The guardrail function is executed before the next task starts, ensuring valid data flow between tasks.
-3. **Return Format**: Guardrails must return a tuple of `(success, data)`:
-   - If `success` is `True`, `data` is the validated/transformed result
-   - If `success` is `False`, `data` is the error message
-4. **Result Routing**:
-   - On success (`True`), the result is automatically passed to the next task
-   - On failure (`False`), the error is sent back to the agent to generate a new answer
-
-### Common Use Cases
-
-#### Data Format Validation
-```python Code
-def validate_email_format(result: str) -> Tuple[bool, Union[str, str]]:
-    """Ensure the output contains a valid email address."""
-    import re
-    email_pattern = r'^[\w\.-]+@[\w\.-]+\.\w+$'
-    if re.match(email_pattern, result.strip()):
-        return (True, result.strip())
-    return (False, "Output must be a valid email address")
-```
-
-#### Content Filtering
-```python Code
-def filter_sensitive_info(result: str) -> Tuple[bool, Union[str, str]]:
-    """Remove or validate sensitive information."""
-    sensitive_patterns = ['SSN:', 'password:', 'secret:']
-    for pattern in sensitive_patterns:
-        if pattern.lower() in result.lower():
-            return (False, f"Output contains sensitive information ({pattern})")
-    return (True, result)
-```
-
-#### Data Transformation
-```python Code
-def normalize_phone_number(result: str) -> Tuple[bool, Union[str, str]]:
-    """Ensure phone numbers are in a consistent format."""
-    import re
-    digits = re.sub(r'\D', '', result)
-    if len(digits) == 10:
-        formatted = f"({digits[:3]}) {digits[3:6]}-{digits[6:]}"
-        return (True, formatted)
-    return (False, "Output must be a 10-digit phone number")
-```
-
-### Advanced Features
-
-#### Chaining Multiple Validations
-```python Code
-def chain_validations(*validators):
-    """Chain multiple validators together."""
-    def combined_validator(result):
-        for validator in validators:
-            success, data = validator(result)
-            if not success:
-                return (False, data)
-            result = data
-        return (True, result)
-    return combined_validator
-
-# Usage
-task = Task(
-    description="Get user contact info",
-    expected_output="Email and phone",
-    guardrail=chain_validations(
-        validate_email_format,
-        filter_sensitive_info
-    )

----
-
-# Using Multimodal Agents
-
-CrewAI supports multimodal agents that can process both text and non-text content like images. This guide will show you how to enable and use multimodal capabilities in your agents.
-
-## Enabling Multimodal Capabilities
-
-To create a multimodal agent, simply set the `multimodal` parameter to `True` when initializing your agent:
-
-```python
-from crewai import Agent
-
-agent = Agent(
-    role="Image Analyst",
-    goal="Analyze and extract insights from images",
-    backstory="An expert in visual content interpretation with years of experience in image analysis",
-    multimodal=True  # This enables multimodal capabilities
-)
-```
-
-When you set `multimodal=True`, the agent is automatically configured with the necessary tools for handling non-text content, including the `AddImageTool`.
-
-## Working with Images
-
-The multimodal agent comes pre-configured with the `AddImageTool`, which allows it to process images. You don't need to manually add this tool - it's automatically included when you enable multimodal capabilities.
-
-Here's a complete example showing how to use a multimodal agent to analyze an image:
-
-```python
-from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
-
-# Create a multimodal agent
-image_analyst = Agent(
-    role="Product Analyst",
-    goal="Analyze product images and provide detailed descriptions",
-    backstory="Expert in visual product analysis with deep knowledge of design and features",
-    multimodal=True
-)
-
-# Create a task for image analysis
-task = Task(
-    description="Analyze the product image at https://example.com/product.jpg and provide a detailed description",
-    agent=image_analyst
-)
-
-# Create and run the crew
-crew = Crew(
-    agents=[image_analyst],
-    tasks=[task]
-)
-
-result = crew.kickoff()
-```
-
-### Advanced Usage with Context
-
-You can provide additional context or specific questions about the image when creating tasks for multimodal agents. The task description can include specific aspects you want the agent to focus on:
-
-```python
-from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
-
-# Create a multimodal agent for detailed analysis
-expert_analyst = Agent(
-    role="Visual Quality Inspector",
-    goal="Perform detailed quality analysis of product images",
-    backstory="Senior quality control expert with expertise in visual inspection",
-    multimodal=True  # AddImageTool is automatically included
-)
-
-# Create a task with specific analysis requirements
-inspection_task = Task(
-    description="""
-    Analyze the product image at https://example.com/product.jpg with focus on:
-    1. Quality of materials
-    2. Manufacturing defects
-    3. Compliance with standards
-    Provide a detailed report highlighting any issues found.
-    """,
-    agent=expert_analyst
-)
-
-# Create and run the crew
-crew = Crew(
-    agents=[expert_analyst],
-    tasks=[inspection_task]
-)
-
-result = crew.kickoff()
-```
-
-### Tool Details
-
-When working with multimodal agents, the `AddImageTool` is automatically configured with the following schema:
-
-```python
-class AddImageToolSchema:
-    image_url: str  # Required: The URL or path of the image to process
-    action: Optional[str] = None  # Optional: Additional context or specific questions about the image
-```
-
-The multimodal agent will automatically handle the image processing through its built-in tools, allowing it to:
-- Access images via URLs or local file paths
-- Process image content with optional context or specific questions
-- Provide analysis and insights based on the visual information and task requirements
-
-## Best Practices
-
-When working with multimodal agents, keep these best practices in mind:
-
-1. **Image Access**
-   - Ensure your images are accessible via URLs that the agent can reach
-   - For local images, consider hosting them temporarily or using absolute file paths
-   - Verify that image URLs are valid and accessible before running tasks
-
-2. **Task Description**
-   - Be specific about what aspects of the image you want the agent to analyze
-   - Include clear questions or requirements in the task description
-   - Consider using the optional `action` parameter for focused analysis
-
-3. **Resource Management**
-   - Image processing may require more computational resources than text-only tasks
-   - Some language models may require base64 encoding for image data
-   - Consider batch processing for multiple images to optimize performance
-
-4. **Environment Setup**
-   - Verify that your environment has the necessary dependencies for image processing
-   - Ensure your language model supports multimodal capabilities
-   - Test with small images first to validate your setup
-
-5. **Error Handling**
-   - Implement proper error handling for image loading failures
-   - Have fallback strategies for when image processing fails
-   - Monitor and log image processing operations for debugging

-# Portkey Integration with CrewAI
-<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/main/Portkey-CrewAI.png" alt="Portkey CrewAI Header Image" width="70%" />
-
-
-[Portkey](https://portkey.ai/?utm_source=crewai&utm_medium=crewai&utm_campaign=crewai) is a 2-line upgrade to make your CrewAI agents reliable, cost-efficient, and fast.
-
-Portkey adds 4 core production capabilities to any CrewAI agent:
-1. Routing to **200+ LLMs**
-2. Making each LLM call more robust
-3. Full-stack tracing & cost, performance analytics
-4. Real-time guardrails to enforce behavior
-
-
-
-
-
-## Getting Started
-
-1. **Install Required Packages:**
-
-```bash
-pip install -qU crewai portkey-ai
-```
-
-2. **Configure the LLM Client:**
-
-To build CrewAI Agents with Portkey, you'll need two keys:
-- **Portkey API Key**: Sign up on the [Portkey app](https://app.portkey.ai/?utm_source=crewai&utm_medium=crewai&utm_campaign=crewai) and copy your API key
-- **Virtual Key**: Virtual Keys securely manage your LLM API keys in one place. Store your LLM provider API keys securely in Portkey's vault
-
-```python
-from crewai import LLM
-from portkey_ai import createHeaders, PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL
-
-gpt_llm = LLM(
-    model="gpt-4",
-    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
-    api_key="dummy", # We are using Virtual key
-    extra_headers=createHeaders(
-        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
-        virtual_key="YOUR_VIRTUAL_KEY", # Enter your Virtual key from Portkey
-    )
-)
-```
-
-3. **Create and Run Your First Agent:**
-
-```python
-from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
-
-# Define your agents with roles and goals
-coder = Agent(
-    role='Software developer',
-    goal='Write clear, concise code on demand',
-    backstory='An expert coder with a keen eye for software trends.',
-    llm=gpt_llm
-)
-
-# Create tasks for your agents
-task1 = Task(
-    description="Define the HTML for making a simple website with heading- Hello World! Portkey is working!",
-    expected_output="A clear and concise HTML code",
-    agent=coder
-)
-
-# Instantiate your crew
-crew = Crew(
-    agents=[coder],
-    tasks=[task1],
-)
-
-result = crew.kickoff()
-print(result)
-```
-
-

You can create and manage Configs directly in your code or through the Portkey Dashboard. Each Config has a unique ID for easy reference.
-
-<Frame>
-    <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Portkey-AI/docs-core/refs/heads/main/images/libraries/libraries-3.avif"/>
-</Frame>
-
-
-### 1. Use 250+ LLMs
-Access various LLMs like Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Azure OpenAI, and more with minimal code changes. Switch between providers or use them together seamlessly. [Learn more about Universal API](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/universal-api)
-
-
-Easily switch between different LLM providers:
-
-```python
-# Anthropic Configuration
-anthropic_llm = LLM(
-    model="claude-3-5-sonnet-latest",
-    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
-    api_key="dummy",
-    extra_headers=createHeaders(
-        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
-        virtual_key="YOUR_ANTHROPIC_VIRTUAL_KEY", #You don't need provider when using Virtual keys
-        trace_id="anthropic_agent"
-    )
-)
-
-# Azure OpenAI Configuration
-azure_llm = LLM(
-    model="gpt-4",
-    base_url=PORTKEY_GATEWAY_URL,
-    api_key="dummy",
-    extra_headers=createHeaders(
-        api_key="YOUR_PORTKEY_API_KEY",
-        virtual_key="YOUR_AZURE_VIRTUAL_KEY", #You don't need provider when using Virtual keys
-        trace_id="azure_agent"
-    )
-)
-```
-
-
-### 2. Caching
-Improve response times and reduce costs with two powerful caching modes:
-- **Simple Cache**: Perfect for exact matches
-- **Semantic Cache**: Matches responses for requests that are semantically similar
-[Learn more about Caching](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/cache-simple-and-semantic)
-
-```py
-config = {
-    "cache": {
-        "mode": "semantic",  # or "simple" for exact matching
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Production Reliability
-Portkey provides comprehensive reliability features:
-- **Automatic Retries**: Handle temporary failures gracefully
-- **Request Timeouts**: Prevent hanging operations
-- **Conditional Routing**: Route requests based on specific conditions
-- **Fallbacks**: Set up automatic provider failovers
-- **Load Balancing**: Distribute requests efficiently
-
-[Learn more about Reliability Features](https://portkey.ai/docs/product/ai-gateway/)
-
-
-
-### 4. Metrics
-
-Agent runs are complex. Portkey automatically logs **40+ comprehensive metrics** for your AI agents, including cost, tokens used, latency, etc. Whether you need a broad overview or granular insights into your agent runs, Portkey's customizable filters provide the metrics you need.
-
-
-- Cost per agent interaction
-- Response times and latency
-- Token usage and efficiency
-- Success/failure rates
-- Cache hit rates
-
-<img src="https://github.com/siddharthsambharia-portkey/Portkey-Product-Images/blob/main/Portkey-Dashboard.png?raw=true" width="70%" alt="Portkey Dashboard" />
-
-### 5. Detailed Logging
-Logs are essential for understanding agent behavior, diagnosing issues, and improving performance. They provide a detailed record of agent activities and tool use, which is crucial for debugging and optimizing processes.
-
-
-Access a dedicated section to view records of agent executions, including parameters, outcomes, function calls, and errors. Filter logs based on multiple parameters such as trace ID, model, tokens used, and metadata.

+# {{crew_name}} Crew
+
+Welcome to the {{crew_name}} Crew project, powered by [crewAI](https://crewai.com). This template is designed to help you set up a multi-agent AI system with ease, leveraging the powerful and flexible framework provided by crewAI. Our goal is to enable your agents to collaborate effectively on complex tasks, maximizing their collective intelligence and capabilities.
+
+## Installation
+
+Ensure you have Python >=3.10 <=3.13 installed on your system. This project uses [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/) for dependency management and package handling, offering a seamless setup and execution experience.
+
+First, if you haven't already, install Poetry:
+
+```bash
+pip install poetry
+```
+
+Next, navigate to your project directory and install the dependencies:
+
+1. First lock the dependencies and then install them:
+
+```bash
+crewai install
+```
+
+### Customizing
+
+**Add your `OPENAI_API_KEY` into the `.env` file**
+
+- Modify `src/{{folder_name}}/config/agents.yaml` to define your agents
+- Modify `src/{{folder_name}}/config/tasks.yaml` to define your tasks
+- Modify `src/{{folder_name}}/crew.py` to add your own logic, tools and specific args
+- Modify `src/{{folder_name}}/main.py` to add custom inputs for your agents and tasks
+
+## Running the Project
+
+To kickstart your crew of AI agents and begin task execution, run this from the root folder of your project:
+
+```bash
+crewai run
+```
+
+This command initializes the {{name}} Crew, assembling the agents and assigning them tasks as defined in your configuration.
+
+This example, unmodified, will run the create a `report.md` file with the output of a research on LLMs in the root folder.
+
+## Understanding Your Crew
+
+The {{name}} Crew is composed of multiple AI agents, each with unique roles, goals, and tools. These agents collaborate on a series of tasks, defined in `config/tasks.yaml`, leveraging their collective skills to achieve complex objectives. The `config/agents.yaml` file outlines the capabilities and configurations of each agent in your crew.

+-----------------------------
+This pipeline consists of two crews:
+1. ResearchCrew: Performs research on a given topic.
+2. WriteXCrew: Generates an X (Twitter) post based on the research findings.
+
+Key features:
+- The ResearchCrew's final task uses output_json to store all research findings in a JSON object.
+- This JSON object is then passed to the WriteXCrew, where tasks can access the research findings.
+
+Example 2: Two-Stage Pipeline with Parallel Execution
+-------------------------------------------------------
+This pipeline consists of three crews:
+1. ResearchCrew: Performs research on a given topic.
+2. WriteXCrew and WriteLinkedInCrew: Run in parallel, using the research findings to generate posts for X and LinkedIn, respectively.
+
+Key features:
+- Demonstrates the ability to run multiple crews in parallel.
+- Shows how to structure a pipeline with both sequential and parallel stages.

+            Dear Team,
+            I'm reaching out regarding our upcoming marketing campaign that requires your immediate attention and swift action. We're facing a critical deadline, and our success hinges on our ability to mobilize quickly.
+            Key points:
+            
+            Campaign launch: 48 hours from now
+            Target audience: 250,000 potential customers
+            Expected ROI: 35% increase in Q3 sales
+            
+            What we need from you NOW:
+            
+            Final approval on creative assets (due in 3 hours)
+            Confirmation of media placements (due by end of day)
+            Last-minute budget allocation for paid social media push
+            
+            Our competitors are poised to launch similar campaigns, and we must act fast to maintain our market advantage. Delays could result in significant lost opportunities and potential revenue.
+            Please prioritize this campaign above all other tasks. I'll be available for the next 24 hours to address any concerns or roadblocks.
+            Let's make this happen!
+            [Your Name]
+            Marketing Director
+            P.S. I'll be scheduling an emergency team meeting in 1 hour to discuss our action plan. Attendance is mandatory.
