 ## 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.

-Currently the only supported process is `Process.sequential`, where one task is executed after the other and the outcome of one is passed as extra content into this next.
-
+In addition to the sequential process, you can use the hierarchical process, which automatically assigns a manager to the defined crew to properly coordinate the planning and execution of tasks through delegation and validation of results. [See more about the processes here](https://docs.crewai.com/core-concepts/Processes/).
 
 ## Key Features
 
 - **Role-Based Agent Design**: Customize agents with specific roles, goals, and tools.
 - **Autonomous Inter-Agent Delegation**: Agents can autonomously delegate tasks and inquire amongst themselves, enhancing problem-solving efficiency.
 - **Flexible Task Management**: Define tasks with customizable tools and assign them to agents dynamically.
-- **Processes Driven**: Currently only supports `sequential` task execution but more complex processes like consensual and hierarchical being worked on.
-- **Works with Open Source Models**: Run your crew using Open AI or open source models refer to the [Connect crewAI to LLMs](./docs/llm-connections.md) page for details on configuring you agents' connections to models, even ones running locally!

 ## 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.
 
-Please refer to the [Connect crewAI to LLMs](./docs/how-to/llm-connections.md) page for details on configuring you agents' connections to models.

 ## How CrewAI Compares
 
-- **Autogen**: While Autogen excels 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.

+## Telemetry
+
+CrewAI uses anonymous telemetry to collect usage data with the main purpose of helping us improve the library by focusing our efforts on the most used features, integrations and tools.
+
+There is NO data being collected on the prompts, tasks descriptions agents backstories or goals nor tools usage, no API calls, nor responses nor any data that is being processed by the agents, nor any secrets and env vars.
+
+Data collected includes:
+
+- Version of crewAI
+  - So we can understand how many users are using the latest version
+- Version of Python
+  - So we can decide on what versions to better support
+- General OS (e.g. number of CPUs, macOS/Windows/Linux)
+  - So we know what OS we should focus on and if we could build specific OS related features
+- Number of agents and tasks in a crew
+  - So we make sure we are testing internally with similar use cases and educate people on the best practices
+- Crew Process being used
+  - Understand where we should focus our efforts
+- If Agents are using memory or allowing delegation
+  - Understand if we improved the features or maybe even drop them
+- If Tasks are being executed in parallel or sequentially
+  - Understand if we should focus more on parallel execution
+- Language model being used
+  - Improved support on most used languages
+- Roles of agents in a crew
+  - Understand high level use cases so we can build better tools, integrations and examples about it
+- Tools names available
+  - Understand out of the publically available tools, which ones are being used the most so we can improve them
+
+Users can opt-in sharing the complete telemetry data by setting the `share_crew` attribute to `True` on their Crews.

-# What is a Tool?
-
-A tool in CrewAI is a function or capability that an agent can utilize to perform actions, gather information, or interact with external systems, behind the scenes tools are [LangChain Tools](https://python.langchain.com/docs/modules/agents/tools/).
-These tools can be as straightforward as a search function or as sophisticated as integrations with other chains or APIs.
-
-## Key Characteristics of Tools
-
-- **Utility**: Tools are designed to serve specific purposes, such as searching the web, analyzing data, or generating content.
-- **Integration**: Tools can be integrated into agents to extend their capabilities beyond their basic functions.
-- **Customizability**: Developers can create custom tools tailored to the specific needs of their agents or use pre-built LangChain ones available in the ecosystem.
-
-# Creating your own Tools
-
-You can easily create your own tool using [LangChain Tool Custom Tool Creation](https://python.langchain.com/docs/modules/agents/tools/custom_tools).
-
-Example:
-```python
-import json
-import requests
-
-from crewai import Agent
-from langchain.tools import tool
-from unstructured.partition.html import partition_html
-
-class BrowserTools():
-  @tool("Scrape website content")
-  def scrape_website(website):
-    """Useful to scrape a website content"""
-    url = f"https://chrome.browserless.io/content?token={config('BROWSERLESS_API_KEY')}"
-    payload = json.dumps({"url": website})
-    headers = {
-      'cache-control': 'no-cache',
-      'content-type': 'application/json'
-    }
-    response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
-    elements = partition_html(text=response.text)
-    content = "\n\n".join([str(el) for el in elements])
-
-    # Return only the first 5k characters
-    return content[:5000]
-
-
-# Create an agent and assign the scrapping tool
-agent = Agent(
-  role='Research Analyst',
-  goal='Provide up-to-date market analysis',
-  backstory='An expert analyst with a keen eye for market trends.',
-  tools=[BrowserTools().scrape_website]
-)
-```
-
-# Using Existing Tools
-
-Check [LangChain Integration](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools/) for a set of useful existing tools.
-To assign a tool to an agent, you'd provide it as part of the agent's properties during initialization.
-
-```python
-from crewai import Agent
-from langchain.agents import Tool
-from langchain.utilities import GoogleSerperAPIWrapper
-
-# Initialize SerpAPI tool with your API key
-os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
-os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
-

-
-# Tool Interaction
-
-Tools enhance an agent's ability to perform tasks autonomously or in collaboration with other agents. For instance, an agent might use a search tool to gather information, then pass that data to another agent specialized in analysis.
-
-# Conclusion
-
-Tools are vital components that expand the functionality of agents within the CrewAI framework. They enable agents to perform a wide range of actions and collaborate effectively with one another. As you build with CrewAI, consider the array of tools you can leverage to empower your agents and how they can be interwoven to create a robust AI ecosystem.

+
+## What is an Agent?
+!!! note "What is an Agent?"
+    An agent is an **autonomous unit** programmed to:
+    <ul>
+      <li class='leading-3'>Perform tasks</li>
+      <li class='leading-3'>Make decisions</li>
+      <li class='leading-3'>Communicate with other agents</li>
+    </ul>
+      <br/>
+    Think of an agent as a member of a team, with specific skills and a particular job to do. Agents can have different roles like 'Researcher', 'Writer', or 'Customer Support', each contributing to the overall goal of the crew.
+
+## Agent Attributes

+- **Internationalization Support (`language`, `language_file`)**: Facilitates operation in multiple languages, enhancing global usability. Supported languages and the process for utilizing the `language_file` attribute for customization should be clearly documented.
+- **Execution and Output Handling (`full_output`)**: Distinguishes between full and final outputs for nuanced control over task results. Examples showcasing the difference in outputs can aid in understanding the practical implications of this attribute.
+- **Callback and Telemetry (`step_callback`, `task_callback`)**: Integrates callbacks for step-wise and task-level execution monitoring, alongside telemetry for performance analytics. The purpose and usage of `task_callback` alongside `step_callback` for granular monitoring should be clearly explained.
+- **Crew Sharing (`share_crew`)**: Enables sharing of crew information with CrewAI for continuous improvement and training models. The privacy implications and benefits of this feature, including how it contributes to model improvement, should be outlined.
+- **Usage Metrics (`usage_metrics`)**: Stores all metrics for the language model (LLM) usage during all tasks' execution, providing insights into operational efficiency and areas for improvement. Detailed information on accessing and interpreting these metrics for performance analysis should be provided.
+- **Memory Usage (`memory`)**: Indicates whether the crew should use memory to store memories of its execution, enhancing task execution and agent learning.
+- **Embedder Configuration (`embedder`)**: Specifies the configuration for the embedder to be used by the crew for understanding and generating language. This attribute supports customization of the language model provider.
+
+## Delegation: Dividing to Conquer
+Delegation enhances functionality by allowing agents to intelligently assign tasks or seek help, thereby amplifying the crew's overall capability.
+
+## Implementing Collaboration and Delegation
+Setting up a crew involves defining the roles and capabilities of each agent. CrewAI seamlessly manages their interactions, ensuring efficient collaboration and delegation, with enhanced customization and monitoring features to adapt to various operational needs.
+
+## Example Scenario
+Consider a crew with a researcher agent tasked with data gathering and a writer agent responsible for compiling reports. The integration of advanced language model management and process flow attributes allows for more sophisticated interactions, such as the writer delegating complex research tasks to the researcher or querying specific information, thereby facilitating a seamless workflow.
+
+## Conclusion
+The integration of advanced attributes and functionalities into the CrewAI framework significantly enriches the agent collaboration ecosystem. These enhancements not only simplify interactions but also offer unprecedented flexibility and control, paving the way for sophisticated AI-driven solutions capable of tackling complex tasks through intelligent collaboration and delegation.

-# What is a Task?
-
-A Task in CrewAI is essentially a job or an assignment that an AI agent needs to complete. It's defined by what needs to be done and can include additional information like which agent should do it and what tools they might need.
-
-# Task Properties
-
-- **Description**: A clear, concise statement of what the task entails.
-- **Agent**: Optionally, you can specify which agent is responsible for the task. If not, the crew's process will determine who takes it on.
-- **Tools**: These are the functions or capabilities the agent can utilize to perform the task. They can be anything from simple actions like 'search' to more complex interactions with other agents or APIs.
-
-# Integrating Tools with Tasks
-
-In CrewAI, tools are functions from the `langchain` toolkit that agents can use to interact with the world. These can be generic utilities or specialized functions designed for specific actions. When you assign tools to a task, they empower the agent to perform its duties more effectively.
-
-## Example of Creating a Task with Tools
-
-```python
-from crewai import Task
-from langchain.agents import Tool
-from langchain.utilities import GoogleSerperAPIWrapper
-
-# Initialize SerpAPI tool with your API key
-os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
-os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
-
-search = GoogleSerperAPIWrapper()
-
-# Create tool to be used by agent
-serper_tool = Tool(
-  name="Intermediate Answer",
-  func=search.run,
-  description="useful for when you need to ask with search",
-)
-
-# Create a task with a description and the search tool
-task = Task(
-  description='Find and summarize the latest and most relevant news on AI',
-  tools=[serper_tool]
-)
-```
-
-When the task is executed by an agent, the tools specified in the task will override the agent's default tools. This means that for the duration of this task, the agent will use the search tool provided, even if it has other tools assigned to it.
-
-# Tool Override Mechanism
-
-The ability to override an agent's tools with those specified in a task allows for greater flexibility. An agent might generally use a set of standard tools, but for certain tasks, you may want it to use a particular tool that is more suited to the task at hand.
-
-# Conclusion
-
-Creating tasks with the right tools is crucial in CrewAI. It ensures that your agents are not only aware of what they need to do but are also equipped with the right functions to do it effectively. This feature underlines the flexibility and power of the CrewAI system, where tasks can be tailored with specific tools to achieve the best outcome.

+| **Config** *(optional)*     | Optional configuration settings for the crew, in `Json` or `Dict[str, Any]` format. |
+| **Max RPM** *(optional)*    | Maximum requests per minute the crew adheres to during execution. |
+| **Language**  *(optional)*  | Language used for the crew, defaults to English.             |
+| **Language File** *(optional)* | Path to the language file to be used for the crew.          |
+| **Memory** *(optional)*     | Utilized for storing execution memories (short-term, long-term, entity memory). |
+| **Cache** *(optional)*      | Specifies whether to use a cache for storing the results of tools' execution. |
+| **Embedder** *(optional)*   | Configuration for the embedder to be used by the crew. mostly used by memory for now       |
+| **Full Output** *(optional)*| Whether the crew should return the full output with all tasks outputs or just the final output. |
+| **Step Callback** *(optional)* | A function that is called after each step of every agent. This can be used to log the agent's actions or to perform other operations; it won't override the agent-specific `step_callback`. |
+| **Task Callback** *(optional)* | A function that is called after the completion of each task. Useful for monitoring or additional operations post-task execution. |
+| **Share Crew** *(optional)* | Whether you want to share the complete crew information and execution with the crewAI team to make the library better, and allow us to train models. |
+| **Output Log File** *(optional)* | Whether you want to have a file with the complete crew output and execution. You can set it using True and it will default to the folder you are currently and it will be called logs.txt or passing a string with the full path and name of the file. |
+
+
+!!! note "Crew Max RPM"
+    The `max_rpm` attribute sets the maximum number of requests per minute the crew can perform to avoid rate limits and will override individual agents' `max_rpm` settings if you set it.
+
+## Creating a Crew
+
+When assembling a crew, you combine agents with complementary roles and tools, assign tasks, and select a process that dictates their execution order and interaction.
+
+### Example: Assembling a Crew
+
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
+from langchain_community.tools import DuckDuckGoSearchRun
+
+# Define agents with specific roles and tools
+researcher = Agent(
+    role='Senior Research Analyst',
+    goal='Discover innovative AI technologies',
+    tools=[DuckDuckGoSearchRun()]
+)
+
+writer = Agent(
+    role='Content Writer',
+    goal='Write engaging articles on AI discoveries',
+    verbose=True
+)
+
+# Create tasks for the agents
+research_task = Task(
+    description='Identify breakthrough AI technologies',
+    agent=researcher
+)
+write_article_task = Task(
+    description='Draft an article on the latest AI technologies',
+    agent=writer
+)
+
+# Assemble the crew with a sequential process
+my_crew = Crew(
+    agents=[researcher, writer],
+    tasks=[research_task, write_article_task],
+    process=Process.sequential,
+    full_output=True,
+    verbose=True,
+)
+```
+
+## Memory Utilization
+
+Crews can utilize memory (short-term, long-term, and entity memory) to enhance their execution and learning over time. This feature allows crews to store and recall execution memories, aiding in decision-making and task execution strategies.
+
+## Cache Utilization
+
+Caches can be employed to store the results of tools' execution, making the process more efficient by reducing the need to re-execute identical tasks.
+
+## Crew Usage Metrics
+
+After the crew execution, you can access the `usage_metrics` attribute to view the language model (LLM) usage metrics for all tasks executed by the crew. This provides insights into operational efficiency and areas for improvement.
+
+```python
+# Access the crew's usage metrics
+crew = Crew(agents=[agent1, agent2], tasks=[task1, task2])
+crew.kickoff()
+print(crew.usage_metrics)
+```
+
+## Crew Execution Process
+
+- **Sequential Process**: Tasks are executed one after another, allowing for a linear flow of work.
+- **Hierarchical Process**: A manager agent coordinates the crew, delegating tasks and validating outcomes before proceeding. **Note**: A `manager_llm` is required for this process and it's essential for validating the process flow.
+
+### Kicking Off a Crew
+
+Once your crew is assembled, initiate the workflow with the `kickoff()` method. This starts the execution process according to the defined process flow.
+
+```python
+# Start the crew's task execution
+result = my_crew.kickoff()
+print(result)
+```

-# Overview of a Task
-
-In the CrewAI framework, tasks are the individual assignments that agents are responsible for completing. They are the fundamental units of work that your AI crew will undertake. Understanding how to define and manage tasks is key to leveraging the full potential of CrewAI.
-
-A task in CrewAI encapsulates all the information needed for an agent to execute it, including a description, the agent assigned to it, and any specific tools required. Tasks are designed to be flexible, allowing for both simple and complex actions depending on your needs.
-
-# Properties of a Task
-
-Every task in CrewAI has several properties:
-
-- **Description**: A clear and concise statement of what needs to be done.
-- **Agent**: The agent assigned to the task (optional). If no agent is specified, the task can be picked up by any agent based on the process defined.
-- **Tools**: A list of tools (optional) that the agent can use to complete the task. These can override the agent's default tools if necessary.
-
-# Creating a Task
-
-Creating a task is straightforward. You define what needs to be done and, optionally, who should do it and what tools they should use. Here’s a conceptual guide:
-
-```python
-from crewai import Task
-
-# Define a task with a designated agent and specific tools
-task = Task(description='Generate monthly sales report', agent=sales_agent, tools=[reporting_tool])
-```
-
-# Task Assignment
-
-Tasks can be assigned to agents in several ways:
-
-- Directly, by specifying the agent when creating the task.
-- [WIP] Through the Crew's process, which can assign tasks based on agent roles, availability, or other criteria.
-
-# Task Execution
-
-Once a task has been defined and assigned, it's ready to be executed. Execution is typically handled by the Crew object, which manages the workflow and ensures that tasks are completed according to the defined process.
-
-# Task Collaboration
-
-Tasks in CrewAI can be designed to require collaboration between agents. For example, one agent might gather data while another analyzes it. This collaborative approach can be defined within the task properties and managed by the Crew's process.
-
-# Conclusion
-Tasks are the driving force behind the actions of agents in CrewAI. By properly defining tasks, you set the stage for your AI agents to work effectively, either independently or as a collaborative unit. In the following sections, we will explore how tasks fit into the larger picture of processes and crew management.

-# How Agents Collaborate:
-
-In CrewAI, collaboration is the cornerstone of agent interaction. Agents are designed to work together by sharing information, requesting assistance, and combining their skills to complete tasks more efficiently.
-
-- **Information Sharing**: Agents can share findings and data amongst themselves to ensure all members are informed and can contribute effectively.
-- **Task Assistance**: If an agent encounters a task that requires additional expertise, it can seek the help of another agent with the necessary skill set.
-- **Resource Allocation**: Agents can share or allocate resources such as tools or processing power to optimize task execution.
-
-Collaboration is embedded in the DNA of CrewAI, enabling a dynamic and adaptive approach to problem-solving.
-
-# Delegation: Dividing to Conquer
-
-Delegation is the process by which an agent assigns a task to another agent, or just ask another agent, it's an intelligent decision-making process that enhances the crew's functionality.
-By default all agents can delegate work and ask questions, so if you want an agent to work alone make sure to set that option when initializing an Agent, this is useful to prevent deviations if the task is supposed to be straightforward.
-
-## Implementing Collaboration and Delegation
-
-When setting up your crew, you'll define the roles and capabilities of each agent. CrewAI's infrastructure takes care of the rest, managing the complex interplay of agents as they work together.
-
-## Example Scenario:
-
-Imagine a scenario where you have a researcher agent that gathers data and a writer agent that compiles reports. The writer can autonomously ask question or delegate more in depth research work depending on its needs as it tries to complete its task.
-
-# Conclusion
-
-Collaboration and delegation are what transform a collection of AI agents into a unified, intelligent crew. With CrewAI, you have a framework that not only simplifies these interactions but also makes them more effective, paving the way for sophisticated AI systems that can tackle complex, multi-dimensional tasks.

-# Managing Processes in CrewAI
-
-Processes are the heart of CrewAI's workflow management, akin to the way a human team organizes its work. In CrewAI, processes define the sequence and manner in which tasks are executed by agents, mirroring the coordination you'd expect in a well-functioning team of people.
-
-## Understanding Processes
-
-A process in CrewAI can be thought of as the game plan for how your AI agents will handle their workload. Just as a project manager assigns tasks to team members based on their skills and the project timeline, CrewAI processes assign tasks to agents to ensure efficient workflow.
-
-## Process Implementations
-
-- **Sequential (Supported)**: This is the only process currently implemented in CrewAI. It ensures tasks are handled one at a time, in a given order, much like a relay race where one runner passes the baton to the next.
-- **Consensual (WIP)**: Envisioned for a future update, the consensual process will enable agents to make joint decisions on task execution, similar to a team consensus in a meeting before proceeding.
-- **Hierarchical (WIP)**: Also in the pipeline, this process will introduce a chain of command to task execution, where some agents may have the authority to prioritize tasks or delegate them, akin to a traditional corporate hierarchy.
-These additional processes, once implemented, will offer more nuanced and sophisticated ways for agents to interact and complete tasks, much like teams in complex organizational structures.

-Creating a sequential process in CrewAI is straightforward and reflects the simplicity of coordinating a team's efforts step by step. In this process the outcome of the previous task is sent into the next one as context that I should use to accomplish it's task
-
-```python
-from crewai import Process
-
-# Define a sequential process
-sequential_process = Process.sequential
-```
-
-# The Magic of Sequential Processes
-
-The sequential process is where much of CrewAI's magic happens. It ensures that tasks are approached with the same thoughtful progression that a human team would use, fostering a natural and logical flow of work while passing on task outcome into the next.
-
-## Assigning Processes to a Crew
-
-To assign a process to a crew, simply set it during the crew's creation. The process will dictate the crew's approach to task execution.
-
-```python
-from crewai import Crew
-
-# Create a crew with a sequential process
-crew = Crew(agents=my_agents, tasks=my_tasks, process=sequential_process)
-```
-
-## The Role of Processes in Teamwork
-
-The process you choose for your crew is critical. It's what transforms a group of individual agents into a cohesive unit that can tackle complex projects with the precision and harmony you'd find in a team of skilled humans.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-Processes bring structure and order to the CrewAI ecosystem, allowing agents to collaborate effectively and accomplish goals systematically. As CrewAI evolves, additional process types will be introduced to enhance the framework's versatility, much like a team that grows and adapts over time.

+title: crewAI Memory Systems
+description: Leveraging memory systems in the crewAI framework to enhance agent capabilities.
+---
+
+## Introduction to Memory Systems in crewAI
+!!! note "Enhancing Agent Intelligence"
+    The crewAI framework introduces a sophisticated memory system designed to significantly enhance the capabilities of AI agents. This system comprises short-term memory, long-term memory, entity memory, and newly identified contextual memory, each serving a unique purpose in aiding agents to remember, reason, and learn from past interactions.
+
+## Memory System Components
+
+| Component            | Description                                                  |
+| :------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Short-Term Memory**| Temporarily stores recent interactions and outcomes, enabling agents to recall and utilize information relevant to their current context. |
+| **Long-Term Memory** | Preserves valuable insights and learnings from past executions, allowing agents to build and refine their knowledge over time. |
+| **Entity Memory**    | Captures and organizes information about entities (people, places, concepts) encountered during tasks, facilitating deeper understanding and relationship mapping. |
+| **Contextual Memory**| Maintains the context of interactions, aiding in the coherence and relevance of agent responses over a sequence of tasks or a conversation. |
+
+## How Memory Systems Empower Agents
+
+1. **Contextual Awareness**: With short-term and contextual memory, agents gain the ability to maintain context over a conversation or task sequence, leading to more coherent and relevant responses.
+
+2. **Experience Accumulation**: Long-term memory allows agents to accumulate experiences, learning from past actions to improve future decision-making and problem-solving.
+
+3. **Entity Understanding**: By maintaining entity memory, agents can recognize and remember key entities, enhancing their ability to process and interact with complex information.
+
+## Implementing Memory in Your Crew
+
+When configuring a crew, you can enable and customize each memory component to suit the crew's objectives and the nature of tasks it will perform.
+By default, the memory system is disabled, and you can ensure it is active by setting `memory=True` in the crew configuration.
+The memory will use OpenAI Embeddings by default, but you can change it by setting `embedder` to a different model.
+
+### Example: Configuring Memory for a Crew
+
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
+
+# Assemble your crew with memory capabilities
+my_crew = Crew(
+    agents=[...],
+    tasks=[...],
+    process=Process.sequential,
+    memory=True,
+    verbose=True
+)
+```
+
+## Additional Embedding Providers
+
+### Using OpenAI embeddings (already default)
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
+
+my_crew = Crew(
+		agents=[...],
+		tasks=[...],
+		process=Process.sequential,
+		memory=True,
+		verbose=True,
+		embedder={
+				"provider": "openai",

+			"config":{
+				"model": 'text-embedding-ada-002',
+				"deployment_name": "you_embedding_model_deployment_name"
+			}
+		}
+)
+```
+
+### Using GPT4ALL embeddings
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
+
+my_crew = Crew(
+		agents=[...],

+		embedder={
+			"provider": "vertexai",
+			"config":{
+				"model": 'textembedding-gecko'
+			}
+		}
+)
+```
+
+### Using Cohere embeddings
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
+
+my_crew = Crew(
+		agents=[...],
+		tasks=[...],
+		process=Process.sequential,
+		memory=True,

+title: Managing Processes in CrewAI
+description: Detailed guide on workflow management through processes in CrewAI, with updated implementation details.
+---
+
+## Understanding Processes
+!!! note "Core Concept"
+    In CrewAI, processes orchestrate the execution of tasks by agents, akin to project management in human teams. These processes ensure tasks are distributed and executed efficiently, in alignment with a predefined strategy.
+
+## Process Implementations
+
+- **Sequential**: Executes tasks sequentially, ensuring tasks are completed in an orderly progression.
+- **Hierarchical**: Organizes tasks in a managerial hierarchy, where tasks are delegated and executed based on a structured chain of command. A manager language model (`manager_llm`) must be specified in the crew to enable the hierarchical process, facilitating the creation and management of tasks by the manager.
+- **Consensual Process (Planned)**: Aiming for collaborative decision-making among agents on task execution, this process type introduces a democratic approach to task management within CrewAI. It is planned for future development and is not currently implemented in the codebase.
+
+## The Role of Processes in Teamwork
+Processes enable individual agents to operate as a cohesive unit, streamlining their efforts to achieve common objectives with efficiency and coherence.
+
+## Assigning Processes to a Crew
+To assign a process to a crew, specify the process type upon crew creation to set the execution strategy. For a hierarchical process, ensure to define `manager_llm` for the manager agent.
+
+```python
+from crewai import Crew
+from crewai.process import Process
+from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
+
+# Example: Creating a crew with a sequential process
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=my_agents,
+    tasks=my_tasks,
+    process=Process.sequential
+)
+
+# Example: Creating a crew with a hierarchical process
+# Ensure to provide a manager_llm
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=my_agents,
+    tasks=my_tasks,
+    process=Process.hierarchical,
+    manager_llm=ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4")
+)
+```
+**Note:** Ensure `my_agents` and `my_tasks` are defined prior to creating a `Crew` object, and for the hierarchical process, `manager_llm` is also required.
+
+## Sequential Process
+This method mirrors dynamic team workflows, progressing through tasks in a thoughtful and systematic manner. Task execution follows the predefined order in the task list, with the output of one task serving as context for the next.
+
+To customize task context, utilize the `context` parameter in the `Task` class to specify outputs that should be used as context for subsequent tasks.
+
+## Hierarchical Process
+Emulates a corporate hierarchy, CrewAI automatically creates a manager for you, requiring the specification of a manager language model (`manager_llm`) for the manager agent. This agent oversees task execution, including planning, delegation, and validation. Tasks are not pre-assigned; the manager allocates tasks to agents based on their capabilities, reviews outputs, and assesses task completion.
+
+## Process Class: Detailed Overview
+The `Process` class is implemented as an enumeration (`Enum`), ensuring type safety and restricting process values to the defined types (`sequential`, `hierarchical`). The consensual process is planned for future inclusion, emphasizing our commitment to continuous development and innovation.
+
+## Additional Task Features
+- **Asynchronous Execution**: Tasks can now be executed asynchronously, allowing for parallel processing and efficiency improvements. This feature is designed to enable tasks to be carried out concurrently, enhancing the overall productivity of the crew.
+- **Human Input Review**: An optional feature that enables the review of task outputs by humans to ensure quality and accuracy before finalization. This additional step introduces a layer of oversight, providing an opportunity for human intervention and validation.
+- **Output Customization**: Tasks support various output formats, including JSON (`output_json`), Pydantic models (`output_pydantic`), and file outputs (`output_file`), providing flexibility in how task results are captured and utilized. This allows for a wide range of output possibilities, catering to different needs and requirements.
+
+## Conclusion
+The structured collaboration facilitated by processes within CrewAI is crucial for enabling systematic teamwork among agents. This documentation has been updated to reflect the latest features, enhancements, and the planned integration of the Consensual Process, ensuring users have access to the most current and comprehensive information.

+title: crewAI Tasks
+description: Detailed guide on managing and creating tasks within the crewAI framework, reflecting the latest codebase updates.
+---
+
+## Overview of a Task
+!!! note "What is a Task?"
+    In the crewAI framework, tasks are specific assignments completed by agents. They provide all necessary details for execution, such as a description, the agent responsible, required tools, and more, facilitating a wide range of action complexities.
+
+Tasks within crewAI can be collaborative, requiring multiple agents to work together. This is managed through the task properties and orchestrated by the Crew's process, enhancing teamwork and efficiency.
+
+## Task Attributes
+
+| Attribute              | Description                                                                                   |
+| :----------------------| :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Description**        | A clear, concise statement of what the task entails.                                          |
+| **Agent**              | The agent responsible for the task, assigned either directly or by the crew's process.        |

+| **Human Input** *(optional)* | Indicates if the task requires human feedback at the end, useful for tasks needing human oversight. |
+
+## Creating a Task
+
+Creating a task involves defining its scope, responsible agent, and any additional attributes for flexibility:
+
+```python
+from crewai import Task
+
+task = Task(
+    description='Find and summarize the latest and most relevant news on AI',
+    agent=sales_agent
+)
+```
+
+!!! note "Task Assignment"
+    Directly specify an `agent` for assignment or let the `hierarchical` CrewAI's process decide based on roles, availability, etc.
+
+## Integrating Tools with Tasks
+
+Leverage tools from the [crewAI Toolkit](https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewai-tools) and [LangChain Tools](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools) for enhanced task performance and agent interaction.
+
+## Creating a Task with Tools
+
+```python
+import os
+os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
+os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Key" # serper.dev API key
+
+from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
+from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
+
+research_agent = Agent(
+  role='Researcher',
+  goal='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
+  backstory="""You're a researcher at a large company.
+  You're responsible for analyzing data and providing insights
+  to the business.""",
+  verbose=True
+)
+
+search_tool = SerperDevTool()
+
+task = Task(
+  description='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
+  expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news',
+  agent=research_agent,
+  tools=[search_tool]
+)
+
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=[research_agent],
+    tasks=[task],
+    verbose=2
+)
+
+result = crew.kickoff()
+print(result)
+```
+
+This demonstrates how tasks with specific tools can override an agent's default set for tailored task execution.
+
+## Referring to Other Tasks
+
+In crewAI, the output of one task is automatically relayed into the next one, but you can specifically define what tasks' output, including multiple should be used as context for another task.
+
+This is useful when you have a task that depends on the output of another task that is not performed immediately after it. This is done through the `context` attribute of the task:
+
+```python
+# ...
+
+research_ai_task = Task(
+    description='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
+    expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news',
+    async_execution=True,
+    agent=research_agent,
+    tools=[search_tool]
+)
+
+research_ops_task = Task(
+    description='Find and summarize the latest AI Ops news',
+    expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI Ops news',
+    async_execution=True,
+    agent=research_agent,
+    tools=[search_tool]
+)
+
+write_blog_task = Task(
+    description="Write a full blog post about the importance of AI and its latest news",
+    expected_output='Full blog post that is 4 paragraphs long',
+    agent=writer_agent,
+    context=[research_ai_task, research_ops_task]
+)
+
+#...
+```
+
+## Asynchronous Execution
+
+You can define a task to be executed asynchronously. This means that the crew will not wait for it to be completed to continue with the next task. This is useful for tasks that take a long time to be completed, or that are not crucial for the next tasks to be performed.
+
+You can then use the `context` attribute to define in a future task that it should wait for the output of the asynchronous task to be completed.
+
+```python
+#...
+
+list_ideas = Task(
+    description="List of 5 interesting ideas to explore for an article about AI.",
+    expected_output="Bullet point list of 5 ideas for an article.",
+    agent=researcher,
+    async_execution=True # Will be executed asynchronously
+)
+
+list_important_history = Task(
+    description="Research the history of AI and give me the 5 most important events.",
+    expected_output="Bullet point list of 5 important events.",
+    agent=researcher,
+    async_execution=True # Will be executed asynchronously
+)
+
+write_article = Task(
+    description="Write an article about AI, its history, and interesting ideas.",
+    expected_output="A 4 paragraph article about AI.",
+    agent=writer,
+    context=[list_ideas, list_important_history] # Will wait for the output of the two tasks to be completed
+)
+
+#...
+```
+
+## Callback Mechanism
+
+The callback function is executed after the task is completed, allowing for actions or notifications to be triggered based on the task's outcome.
+
+```python
+# ...
+
+def callback_function(output: TaskOutput):
+    # Do something after the task is completed
+    # Example: Send an email to the manager
+    print(f"""
+        Task completed!
+        Task: {output.description}
+        Output: {output.raw_output}
+    """)
+
+research_task = Task(
+    description='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
+    expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news',
+    agent=research_agent,
+    tools=[search_tool],
+    callback=callback_function
+)
+
+#...
+```
+
+## Accessing a Specific Task Output
+
+Once a crew finishes running, you can access the output of a specific task by using the `output` attribute of the task object:
+
+```python
+# ...
+task1 = Task(
+    description='Find and summarize the latest AI news',
+    expected_output='A bullet list summary of the top 5 most important AI news',
+    agent=research_agent,
+    tools=[search_tool]
+)
+
+#...
+
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=[research_agent],
+    tasks=[task1, task2, task3],
+    verbose=2
+)
+
+result = crew.kickoff()
+
+# Returns a TaskOutput object with the description and results of the task
+print(f"""
+    Task completed!
+    Task: {task1.output.description}
+    Output: {task1.output.raw_output}
+""")
+```
+
+## Tool Override Mechanism
+
+Specifying tools in a task allows for dynamic adaptation of agent capabilities, emphasizing CrewAI's flexibility.
+
+## Error Handling and Validation Mechanisms
+
+While creating and executing tasks, certain validation mechanisms are in place to ensure the robustness and reliability of task attributes. These include but are not limited to:
+
+- Ensuring only one output type is set per task to maintain clear output expectations.
+- Preventing the manual assignment of the `id` attribute to uphold the integrity of the unique identifier system.
+
+These validations help in maintaining the consistency and reliability of task executions within the crewAI framework.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Tasks are the driving force behind the actions of agents in crewAI. By properly defining tasks and their outcomes, you set the stage for your AI agents to work effectively, either independently or as a collaborative unit. Equipping tasks with appropriate tools, understanding the execution process, and following robust validation practices are crucial for maximizing CrewAI's potential, ensuring agents are effectively prepared for their assignments and that tasks are executed as intended.

+## Creating your own Tools
+
+!!! example "Custom Tool Creation"
+    Developers can craft custom tools tailored for their agent’s needs or utilize pre-built options:
+
+
+To create your own crewAI tools you will need to install our extra tools package:
+
+```bash
+pip install 'crewai[tools]'
+```
+
+Once you do that there are two main ways for one to create a crewAI tool:
+### Subclassing `BaseTool`
+
+```python
+from crewai_tools import BaseTool
+
+class MyCustomTool(BaseTool):
+    name: str = "Name of my tool"
+    description: str = "Clear description for what this tool is useful for, you agent will need this information to use it."
+
+    def _run(self, argument: str) -> str:
+        # Implementation goes here
+        return "Result from custom tool"
+```
+
+### Utilizing the `tool` Decorator
+
+```python
+from crewai_tools import tool
+@tool("Name of my tool")
+def my_tool(question: str) -> str:
+    """Clear description for what this tool is useful for, you agent will need this information to use it."""
+    # Function logic here
+    return "Result from your custom tool"
+```
+
+### Custom Caching Mechanism
+!!! note "Caching"
+    Tools can optionally implement a `cache_function` to fine-tune caching behavior. This function determines when to cache results based on specific conditions, offering granular control over caching logic.
+
+```python
+from crewai_tools import tool
+
+@tool
+def multiplication_tool(first_number: int, second_number: int) -> str:
+    """Useful for when you need to multiply two numbers together."""
+    return first_number * second_number
+
+def cache_func(args, result):
+    # In this case, we only cache the result if it's a multiple of 2
+    cache = result % 2 == 0
+    return cache
+
+multiplication_tool.cache_function = cache_func
+
+writer1 = Agent(
+        role="Writer",
+        goal="You write lesssons of math for kids.",
+        backstory="You're an expert in writting and you love to teach kids but you know nothing of math.",
+        tools=[multiplcation_tool],
+        allow_delegation=False,
+    )
+    #...
+```
+
+## Using LangChain Tools
+!!! info "LangChain Integration"
+    CrewAI seamlessly integrates with LangChain’s comprehensive toolkit for search-based queries and more, here are the available built-in tools that are offered by Langchain [LangChain Toolkit](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools/)
+ :
+
+```python
+from crewai import Agent
+from langchain.agents import Tool
+from langchain.utilities import GoogleSerperAPIWrapper
+
+# Setup API keys
+os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
+
+search = GoogleSerperAPIWrapper()
+
+# Create and assign the search tool to an agent
+serper_tool = Tool(
+  name="Intermediate Answer",
+  func=search.run,
+  description="Useful for search-based queries",
+)
+
+agent = Agent(
+  role='Research Analyst',
+  goal='Provide up-to-date market analysis',
+  backstory='An expert analyst with a keen eye for market trends.',
+  tools=[serper_tool]
+)
+
+# rest of the code ...
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+Tools are pivotal in extending the capabilities of CrewAI agents, enabling them to undertake a broad spectrum of tasks and collaborate effectively. When building solutions with CrewAI, leverage both custom and existing tools to empower your agents and enhance the AI ecosystem. Consider utilizing error handling, caching mechanisms, and the flexibility of tool arguments to optimize your agents' performance and capabilities.

-# What is an Agent?
-
-In CrewAI, an agent is an autonomous unit programmed to perform tasks, make decisions, and communicate with other agents. Think of an agent as a member of a team, with specific skills and a particular job to do. Agents can have different roles like 'Researcher', 'Writer', or 'Customer Support', each contributing to the overall goal of the crew.
-
-# Key Properties of an Agent
-
-- **Role**: Defines the agent's function within the crew. It determines the kind of tasks the agent is best suited for.
-- **Goal**: The individual objective that the agent aims to achieve. It guides the agent's decision-making process.
-- **Backstory**: Provides context to the agent's role and goal, enriching the interaction and collaboration dynamics.
-- **Tools**: A set of capabilities or functions that the agent can use to perform tasks. Tools can be shared or exclusive to specific agents.
-- **Verbose**: This allow you to actually see what is going on during the Crew execution.
-- **Allow Delegation**: Agents can delegate tasks or questions to one another, ensuring that each task is handled by the most suitable agent.
-
-# Agent Lifecycle
-
-1. **Initialization**: An agent is created with a defined role, goal, backstory, and set of tools.
-2. **Task Assignment**: The agent is assigned tasks either directly or through the crew's process management.
-3. **Execution**: The agent performs the task using its available tools and in accordance with its role and goal.
-4. **Collaboration**: Throughout the execution, the agent can communicate with other agents to delegate, inquire, or assist.
-
-# Creating an Agent
-
-To create an agent, you would typically initialize an instance of the `Agent` class with the desired properties. Here's a conceptual example:
-
-```python
-from crewai import Agent
-
-# Create an agent with a role and a goal
-agent = Agent(
-  role='Data Analyst',
-  goal='Extract actionable insights',
-  verbose=True,
-  backstory="You'er a data analyst at a large company. I am responsible for analyzing data and providing insights to the business. I am currently working on a project to analyze the performance of our marketing campaigns. I have been asked to provide insights on how to improve the performance of our marketing campaigns."
-)
-```
-
-# Agent Interaction
-Agents can interact with each other using the CrewAI's built-in delegation and communication mechanisms. This allows for dynamic task management and problem-solving within the crew.
-
-# Conclusion

-# Customizable Attributes
+---
+title: Customizing Agents in CrewAI
+description: A comprehensive guide to tailoring agents for specific roles, tasks, and advanced customizations within the CrewAI framework.
+---
 
-Customizing your AI agents is a cornerstone of creating an effective CrewAI team. Each agent can be tailored to fit the unique needs of your project, allowing for a dynamic and versatile AI workforce.
+## Customizable Attributes
+Crafting an efficient CrewAI team hinges on the ability to dynamically tailor your AI agents to meet the unique requirements of any project. This section covers the foundational attributes you can customize.
 
-When you initialize an Agent, you can set various attributes that define its behavior and role within the Crew:
+### Key Attributes for Customization
+- **Role**: Specifies the agent's job within the crew, such as 'Analyst' or 'Customer Service Rep'.
+- **Goal**: Defines what the agent aims to achieve, in alignment with its role and the overarching objectives of the crew.
+- **Backstory**: Provides depth to the agent's persona, enriching its motivations and engagements within the crew.
+- **Tools**: Represents the capabilities or methods the agent uses to perform tasks, from simple functions to intricate integrations.
 
-- **Role**: The job title or function of the agent within your crew. This can be anything from 'Analyst' to 'Customer Service Rep'.
-- **Goal**: What the agent is aiming to achieve. Goals should be aligned with the agent's role and the overall objectives of the crew.
-- **Backstory**: A narrative that provides depth to the agent's character. This could include previous experience, motivations, or anything that adds context to their role.
-- **Tools**: The abilities or methods the agent uses to complete tasks. This could be as simple as a 'search' function or as complex as a custom-built analysis tool.
+## Advanced Customization Options
+Beyond the basic attributes, CrewAI allows for deeper customization to enhance an agent's behavior and capabilities significantly.
 
-# Understanding Tools in CrewAI
+### Language Model Customization
+Agents can be customized with specific language models (`llm`) and function-calling language models (`function_calling_llm`), offering advanced control over their processing and decision-making abilities. It's important to note that setting the `function_calling_llm` allows for overriding the default crew function-calling language model, providing a greater degree of customization.
 
-Tools in CrewAI are functions that empower agents to interact with the world around them. These can range from generic utilities like a search function to more complex ones like integrating with an external API. The integration with LangChain allows you to utilize a suite of ready-to-use tools such as [Google Serper](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools/google_serper), which enables agents to perform web searches and gather data.
+## Performance and Debugging Settings
+Adjusting an agent's performance and monitoring its operations are crucial for efficient task execution.
 
-# Customizing Agents and Tools
+### Verbose Mode and RPM Limit
+- **Verbose Mode**: Enables detailed logging of an agent's actions, useful for debugging and optimization. Specifically, it provides insights into agent execution processes, aiding in the optimization of performance.
+- **RPM Limit**: Sets the maximum number of requests per minute (`max_rpm`). This attribute is optional and can be set to `None` for no limit, allowing for unlimited queries to external services if needed.
 
-You can customize an agent by passing parameters when creating an instance. Each parameter tweaks how the agent behaves and interacts within the crew.
+### Maximum Iterations for Task Execution
+The `max_iter` attribute allows users to define the maximum number of iterations an agent can perform for a single task, preventing infinite loops or excessively long executions. The default value is set to 15, providing a balance between thoroughness and efficiency. Once the agent approaches this number, it will try its best to give a good answer.
 
-Customizing an agent's tools is particularly important. Tools define what an agent can do and how it interacts with tasks. For instance, if a task requires data analysis, assigning an agent with data-related tools would be optimal.
+## Customizing Agents and Tools
+Agents are customized by defining their attributes and tools during initialization. Tools are critical for an agent's functionality, enabling them to perform specialized tasks. The `tools` attribute should be an array of tools the agent can utilize, and it's initialized as an empty list by default. Tools can be added or modified post-agent initialization to adapt to new requirements.
 
-When initializing your agents, you can equip them with a set of tools that enable them to perform their roles more effectively:
+```shell
+pip install 'crewai[tools]'
+```
 
+### Example: Assigning Tools to an Agent
 ```python
+import os
 from crewai import Agent
-from langchain.agents import Tool
-from langchain.utilities import GoogleSerperAPIWrapper
+from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
 
-# Initialize SerpAPI tool with your API key
+# Set API keys for tool initialization
 os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
 os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
 
-search = GoogleSerperAPIWrapper()
+# Initialize a search tool
+search_tool = SerperDevTool()
 
-# Create tool to be used by agent
-serper_tool = Tool(
-  name="Intermediate Answer",
-  func=search.run,
-  description="useful for when you need to ask with search",
-)
-
-# Create an agent and assign the search tool
+# Initialize the agent with advanced options
 agent = Agent(
   role='Research Analyst',
   goal='Provide up-to-date market analysis',
   backstory='An expert analyst with a keen eye for market trends.',
-  tools=[serper_tool]
-)
-```
-
-## Delegation and Autonomy
-
-One of the most powerful aspects of CrewAI agents is their ability to delegate tasks to one another. Each agent by default can delegate work or ask question to anyone in the crew, but you can disable that by setting `allow_delegation` to `false`, this is particularly useful for straightforward agents that should execute their tasks in isolation.
-
-```python
-agent = Agent(
-  role='Content Writer',
-  goal='Write the most amazing content related to market trends an business.',
-  backstory='An expert writer with many years of experience in market trends, stocks and all business related things.',
+  tools=[search_tool],
+  memory=True, # Enable memory
+  verbose=True,
+  max_rpm=None, # No limit on requests per minute
+  max_iter=15, # Default value for maximum iterations
   allow_delegation=False
 )
 ```
 
-## Conclusion
+## Delegation and Autonomy
+Controlling an agent's ability to delegate tasks or ask questions is vital for tailoring its autonomy and collaborative dynamics within the CrewAI framework. By default, the `allow_delegation` attribute is set to `True`, enabling agents to seek assistance or delegate tasks as needed. This default behavior promotes collaborative problem-solving and efficiency within the CrewAI ecosystem. If needed, delegation can be disabled to suit specific operational requirements.
 
-Customization is what makes CrewAI powerful. By adjusting the attributes of each agent, you can ensure that your AI team is well-equipped to handle the challenges you set for them. Remember, the more thought you put into your agents' roles, goals, backstories, and tools, the more nuanced and effective their interactions and task execution will be.
+### Example: Disabling Delegation for an Agent
+```python
+agent = Agent(
+  role='Content Writer',
+  goal='Write engaging content on market trends',
+  backstory='A seasoned writer with expertise in market analysis.',
+  allow_delegation=False # Disabling delegation
+)
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+Customizing agents in CrewAI by setting their roles, goals, backstories, and tools, alongside advanced options like language model customization, memory, performance settings, and delegation preferences, equips a nuanced and capable AI team ready for complex challenges.

+title: Implementing the Hierarchical Process in CrewAI
+description: A comprehensive guide to understanding and applying the hierarchical process within your CrewAI projects, updated to reflect the latest coding practices and functionalities.
+---
+
+## Introduction
+The hierarchical process in CrewAI introduces a structured approach to task management, simulating traditional organizational hierarchies for efficient task delegation and execution. This systematic workflow enhances project outcomes by ensuring tasks are handled with optimal efficiency and accuracy.
+
+!!! note "Complexity and Efficiency"
+    The hierarchical process is designed to leverage advanced models like GPT-4, optimizing token usage while handling complex tasks with greater efficiency.
+
+## Hierarchical Process Overview
+By default, tasks in CrewAI are managed through a sequential process. However, adopting a hierarchical approach allows for a clear hierarchy in task management, where a 'manager' agent coordinates the workflow, delegates tasks, and validates outcomes for streamlined and effective execution. This manager agent is automatically created by crewAI so you don't need to worry about it.
+
+### Key Features
+- **Task Delegation**: A manager agent allocates tasks among crew members based on their roles and capabilities.
+- **Result Validation**: The manager evaluates outcomes to ensure they meet the required standards.
+- **Efficient Workflow**: Emulates corporate structures, providing an organized approach to task management.
+
+## Implementing the Hierarchical Process
+To utilize the hierarchical process, it's essential to explicitly set the process attribute to `Process.hierarchical`, as the default behavior is `Process.sequential`. Define a crew with a designated manager and establish a clear chain of command.
+
+!!! note "Tools and Agent Assignment"
+    Assign tools at the agent level to facilitate task delegation and execution by the designated agents under the manager's guidance. Tools can also be specified at the task level for precise control over tool availability during task execution.
+
+!!! note "Manager LLM Requirement"
+    Configuring the `manager_llm` parameter is crucial for the hierarchical process. The system requires a manager LLM to be set up for proper function, ensuring tailored decision-making.
+
+```python
+from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
+from crewai import Crew, Process, Agent
+
+# Agents are defined with attributes for backstory, cache, and verbose mode
+researcher = Agent(
+    role='Researcher',
+    goal='Conduct in-depth analysis',
+    backstory='Experienced data analyst with a knack for uncovering hidden trends.',
+    cache=True,
+    verbose=False,
+    # tools=[]  # This can be optionally specified; defaults to an empty list
+)
+writer = Agent(
+    role='Writer',
+    goal='Create engaging content',
+    backstory='Creative writer passionate about storytelling in technical domains.',
+    cache=True,
+    verbose=False,
+    # tools=[]  # Optionally specify tools; defaults to an empty list
+)
+
+# Establishing the crew with a hierarchical process and additional configurations
+project_crew = Crew(
+    tasks=[...],  # Tasks to be delegated and executed under the manager's supervision
+    agents=[researcher, writer],
+    manager_llm=ChatOpenAI(temperature=0, model="gpt-4"),  # Mandatory for hierarchical process
+    process=Process.hierarchical,  # Specifies the hierarchical management approach
+    memory=True,  # Enable memory usage for enhanced task execution
+)
+```
+
+### Workflow in Action
+1. **Task Assignment**: The manager assigns tasks strategically, considering each agent's capabilities and available tools.
+2. **Execution and Review**: Agents complete their tasks with the option for asynchronous execution and callback functions for streamlined workflows.
+3. **Sequential Task Progression**: Despite being a hierarchical process, tasks follow a logical order for smooth progression, facilitated by the manager's oversight.
+
+## Conclusion
+Adopting the hierarchical process in crewAI, with the correct configurations and understanding of the system's capabilities, facilitates an organized and efficient approach to project management.

+description: Comprehensive guide on integrating CrewAI with various Large Language Models (LLMs), including detailed class attributes and methods.
+---
 
-There are different types of connections.
-Ollama is the recommended way to connect to local LLMs.
-Azure uses a slightly different API and therefore has it's own connection object.
+## Connect CrewAI to LLMs
+!!! note "Default LLM"
+    By default, CrewAI uses OpenAI's GPT-4 model for language processing. You can configure your agents to use a different model or API. This guide shows how to connect your agents to various LLMs through environment variables and direct instantiation.
 
-crewAI is compatible with any of the LangChain LLM components. See this page for more information: https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/llms/
+CrewAI offers flexibility in connecting to various LLMs, including local models via [Ollama](https://ollama.ai) and different APIs like Azure. It's compatible with all [LangChain LLM](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/llms/) components, enabling diverse integrations for tailored AI solutions.
 
-## Ollama
+## CrewAI Agent Overview
+The `Agent` class is the cornerstone for implementing AI solutions in CrewAI. Here's an updated overview reflecting the latest codebase changes:
 
-crewAI supports integration with local models thorugh [Ollama](https://ollama.ai/) for enhanced flexibility and customization. This allows you to utilize your own models, which can be particularly useful for specialized tasks or data privacy concerns. We will conver other options for using local models in later sections. However, ollama is the recommended tool to use to host local models when possible.
+- **Attributes**:
+    - `role`: Defines the agent's role within the solution.
+    - `goal`: Specifies the agent's objective.
+    - `backstory`: Provides a background story to the agent.
+    - `llm`: Indicates the Large Language Model the agent uses. By default, it uses the GPT-4 model defined in the environment variable "OPENAI_MODEL_NAME".
+    - `function_calling_llm` *Optional*: Will turn the ReAct crewAI agent into a function calling agent.
+    - `max_iter`: Maximum number of iterations for an agent to execute a task, default is 15.
+    - `memory`: Enables the agent to retain information during and a across executions. Default is `False`.
+    - `max_rpm`: Maximum number of requests per minute the agent's execution should respect. Optional.
+    - `verbose`: Enables detailed logging of the agent's execution. Default is `False`.
+    - `allow_delegation`: Allows the agent to delegate tasks to other agents, default is `True`.
+    - `tools`: Specifies the tools available to the agent for task execution. Optional.
+    - `step_callback`: Provides a callback function to be executed after each step. Optional.
+    - `cache`: Determines whether the agent should use a cache for tool usage. Default is `True`.
+
+```python
+# Required
+os.environ["OPENAI_MODEL_NAME"]="gpt-4-0125-preview"
+
+# Agent will automatically use the model defined in the environment variable
+example_agent = Agent(
+  role='Local Expert',
+  goal='Provide insights about the city',
+  backstory="A knowledgeable local guide.",
+  verbose=True,
+  memory=True
+)
+```
+
+## Ollama Integration
+Ollama is preferred for local LLM integration, offering customization and privacy benefits. To integrate Ollama with CrewAI, set the appropriate environment variables as shown below. 
 
 ### Setting Up Ollama
+- **Environment Variables Configuration**: To integrate Ollama, set the following environment variables:
+```sh
+OPENAI_API_BASE='http://localhost:11434/v1'
+OPENAI_MODEL_NAME='openhermes'  # Adjust based on available model
+OPENAI_API_KEY=''
+```
 
-- **Install Ollama**: Ensure that Ollama is properly installed in your environment. Follow the installation guide provided by Ollama for detailed instructions.
-- **Configure Ollama**: Set up Ollama to work with your local model. You will probably need to [tweak the model using a Modelfile](https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/blob/main/docs/modelfile.md). I'd recommend adding `Observation` as a stop word and playing with `top_p` and `temperature`.
+## Ollama Integration (ex. for using Llama 2 locally)
+1. [Download Ollama](https://ollama.com/download).   
+2. After setting up the Ollama, Pull the Llama2 by typing following lines into the terminal ```ollama pull llama2```.   
+3. Create a ModelFile similar the one below in your project directory.
+```
+FROM llama2
 
-### Integrating Ollama with CrewAI
-- Instantiate Ollama Model: Create an instance of the Ollama model. You can specify the model and the base URL during instantiation. For example:
+# Set parameters
 
+PARAMETER temperature 0.8
+PARAMETER stop Result
+
+# Sets a custom system message to specify the behavior of the chat assistant
+
+# Leaving it blank for now.
+
+SYSTEM """"""
+```
+4. Create a script to get the base model, which in our case is llama2, and create a model on top of that with ModelFile above. PS: this will be ".sh" file.     
+```
+#!/bin/zsh
+
+# variables
+model_name="llama2"
+custom_model_name="crewai-llama2"
+
+#get the base model
+ollama pull $model_name
+
+#create the model file
+ollama create $custom_model_name -f ./Llama2ModelFile
+```
+5. Go into the directory where the script file and ModelFile is located and run the script.   
+6. Enjoy your free Llama2 model that powered up by excellent agents from crewai.   
+```

+```
+
+## HuggingFace Integration
+There are a couple of different ways you can use HuggingFace to host your LLM.
+
+### Your own HuggingFace endpoint
 ```python
-from langchain.llms import Ollama
-ollama_openhermes = Ollama(model="openhermes")
-# Pass Ollama Model to Agents: When creating your agents within the CrewAI framework, you can pass the Ollama model as an argument to the Agent constructor. For instance:
+from langchain_community.llms import HuggingFaceEndpoint
 
-local_expert = Agent(
-  role='Local Expert at this city',
-  goal='Provide the BEST insights about the selected city',
-  backstory="""A knowledgeable local guide with extensive information
-  about the city, it's attractions and customs""",
-  tools=[
-    SearchTools.search_internet,
-    BrowserTools.scrape_and_summarize_website,
-  ],
-  llm=ollama_openhermes, # Ollama model passed here
-  verbose=True
+llm = HuggingFaceEndpoint(
+    endpoint_url="<YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL_HERE>",
+    huggingfacehub_api_token="<HF_TOKEN_HERE>",
+    task="text-generation",
+    max_new_tokens=512
+)
+
+agent = Agent(
+    role="HuggingFace Agent",
+    goal="Generate text using HuggingFace",
+    backstory="A diligent explorer of GitHub docs.",
+    llm=llm
 )
 ```
 
-## Open AI Compatible API Endpoints
-
-In the context of integrating various language models with CrewAI, the flexibility to switch between different API endpoints is a crucial feature. By utilizing environment variables for configuration details such as `OPENAI_API_BASE_URL`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, and `MODEL_NAME`, you can easily transition between different APIs or models. For instance, if you want to switch from using the standard OpenAI GPT model to a custom or alternative version, simply update the values of these environment variables. 
-
-The `OPENAI_API_BASE_URL` variable allows you to define the base URL of the API to connect to, while `OPENAI_API_KEY` is used for authentication purposes. Lastly, the `MODEL_NAME` variable specifies the particular language model to be used, such as "gpt-3.5-turbo" or any other available model. 
-
-This method offers an easy way to adapt the system to different models or plataforms, be it for testing, scaling, or accessing different features available on various platforms. By centralizing the configuration in environment variables, the process becomes streamlined, reducing the need for extensive code modifications when switching between APIs or models.

 )
-
 ```
 
-The following sections show examples of the configuration settings for various OpenAI API compatible applications and services. We have included links to relavant documentation for the various application and services. 
-
-
-### Open AI
-
-OpenAI is the default LLM that will be used if you do not specify a value for the `llm` argument when creating an agent. It will also use default values for the `OPENAI_API_BASE_URL` and `MODEL_NAME`. So the only value you need to set when using the OpenAI endpoint is the API key that from your account.

-## Other Inference API Endpoints
-
-Other platforms offer inference APIs such as Anthropic, Azure, and HuggingFace to name a few. Unfortunately, the APIs on the following platforms are not compatible with the OpenAI API specification. So, the following platforms will require a slightly different configuration than the examples in the previous section.
-
-### Azure Open AI
-
-Azure hosted OpenAI API endpoints have their own LLM component that needs to be imported from `langchain_openai`.
-
-For more information, check out the langchain documenation for [Azure OpenAI](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/llms/azure_openai).
-
-```python
-from dotenv import load_dotenv
-from langchain_openai import AzureChatOpenAI
-
-load_dotenv()
-
-default_llm = AzureChatOpenAI(
-    openai_api_version=os.environ.get("AZURE_OPENAI_VERSION", "2023-07-01-preview"),
-    azure_deployment=os.environ.get("AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT", "gpt35"),
-    azure_endpoint=os.environ.get("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT", "https://<your-endpoint>.openai.azure.com/"),
-    api_key=os.environ.get("AZURE_OPENAI_KEY")
-)
-
-# Create an agent and assign the LLM
-example_agent = Agent(
-  role='Example Agent',
-  goal='Show how to assign a custom configured LLM',
-  backstory='You hang out in the docs section of GitHub repos.',
-  llm=default_llm
-)
+### Cohere
+```sh
+from langchain_community.chat_models import ChatCohere
+# Initialize language model
+os.environ["COHERE_API_KEY"] = "your-cohere-api-key"
+llm = ChatCohere()

 ```
 
 
-Configuration settings:
+### Azure Open AI Configuration
+For Azure OpenAI API integration, set the following environment variables:
 ```sh
 AZURE_OPENAI_VERSION="2022-12-01"
 AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT=""
 AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT=""
 AZURE_OPENAI_KEY=""
 ```
+
+### Example Agent with Azure LLM
+```python
+from dotenv import load_dotenv
+from crewai import Agent
+from langchain_openai import AzureChatOpenAI
+
+load_dotenv()
+
+azure_llm = AzureChatOpenAI(
+    azure_endpoint=os.environ.get("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"),
+    api_key=os.environ.get("AZURE_OPENAI_KEY")
+)
+
+azure_agent = Agent(
+  role='Example Agent',
+  goal='Demonstrate custom LLM configuration',
+  backstory='A diligent explorer of GitHub docs.',
+  llm=azure_llm
+)
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+Integrating CrewAI with different LLMs expands the framework's versatility, allowing for customized, efficient AI solutions across various domains and platforms.

+title: Using the Sequential Processes in crewAI
+description: A comprehensive guide to utilizing the sequential processes for task execution in crewAI projects.
+---
+
+## Introduction
+CrewAI offers a flexible framework for executing tasks in a structured manner, supporting both sequential and hierarchical processes. This guide outlines how to effectively implement these processes to ensure efficient task execution and project completion.
+
+## Sequential Process Overview
+The sequential process ensures tasks are executed one after the other, following a linear progression. This approach is ideal for projects requiring tasks to be completed in a specific order.
+
+### Key Features
+- **Linear Task Flow**: Ensures orderly progression by handling tasks in a predetermined sequence.
+- **Simplicity**: Best suited for projects with clear, step-by-step tasks.
+- **Easy Monitoring**: Facilitates easy tracking of task completion and project progress.
+## Implementing the Sequential Process
+Assemble your crew and define tasks in the order they need to be executed.
+
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Process, Agent, Task
+
+# Define your agents
+researcher = Agent(
+  role='Researcher',
+  goal='Conduct foundational research',
+  backstory='An experienced researcher with a passion for uncovering insights'
+)
+analyst = Agent(
+  role='Data Analyst',
+  goal='Analyze research findings',
+  backstory='A meticulous analyst with a knack for uncovering patterns'
+)
+writer = Agent(
+  role='Writer',
+  goal='Draft the final report',
+  backstory='A skilled writer with a talent for crafting compelling narratives'
+)
+
+# Define the tasks in sequence
+research_task = Task(description='Gather relevant data...', agent=researcher)
+analysis_task = Task(description='Analyze the data...', agent=analyst)
+writing_task = Task(description='Compose the report...', agent=writer)
+
+# Form the crew with a sequential process
+report_crew = Crew(
+  agents=[researcher, analyst, writer],
+  tasks=[research_task, analysis_task, writing_task],
+  process=Process.sequential
+)
+```
+
+### Workflow in Action
+1. **Initial Task**: In a sequential process, the first agent completes their task and signals completion.
+2. **Subsequent Tasks**: Agents pick up their tasks based on the process type, with outcomes of preceding tasks or manager directives guiding their execution.
+3. **Completion**: The process concludes once the final task is executed, leading to project completion.
+
+## Conclusion
+The sequential and hierarchical processes in CrewAI offer clear, adaptable paths for task execution. They are well-suited for projects requiring logical progression and dynamic decision-making, ensuring each step is completed effectively, thereby facilitating a cohesive final product.
