 ## 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.

-- 🤖 [Talk with the Docs](https://chat.openai.com/g/g-qqTuUWsBY-crewai-assistant)
-- 📄 [Documention Wiki](https://github.com/joaomdmoura/CrewAI/wiki)
+CrewAI is a standalone framework, built from the ground up without dependencies on Langchain or other agent frameworks. It's designed to enable AI agents to assume roles, share goals, and operate in a cohesive unit - much like a well-oiled crew. Whether you're building a smart assistant platform, an automated customer service ensemble, or a multi-agent research team, CrewAI provides the backbone for sophisticated multi-agent interactions.
 
 ## Getting Started
 
+### Learning Resources
+
+Learn CrewAI through our comprehensive courses:
+- [Multi AI Agent Systems with CrewAI](https://www.deeplearning.ai/short-courses/multi-ai-agent-systems-with-crewai/) - Master the fundamentals of multi-agent systems
+- [Practical Multi AI Agents and Advanced Use Cases](https://www.deeplearning.ai/short-courses/practical-multi-ai-agents-and-advanced-use-cases-with-crewai/) - Deep dive into advanced implementations
+
+### Understanding Flows and Crews
+
+CrewAI offers two powerful, complementary approaches that work seamlessly together to build sophisticated AI applications:
+
+1. **Crews**: Teams of AI agents with true autonomy and agency, working together to accomplish complex tasks through role-based collaboration. Crews enable:
+   - Natural, autonomous decision-making between agents
+   - Dynamic task delegation and collaboration
+   - Specialized roles with defined goals and expertise
+   - Flexible problem-solving approaches
+
+2. **Flows**: Production-ready, event-driven workflows that deliver precise control over complex automations. Flows provide:
+   - Fine-grained control over execution paths for real-world scenarios
+   - Secure, consistent state management between tasks
+   - Clean integration of AI agents with production Python code
+   - Conditional branching for complex business logic
+
+The true power of CrewAI emerges when combining Crews and Flows. This synergy allows you to:
+- Build complex, production-grade applications
+- Balance autonomy with precise control
+- Handle sophisticated real-world scenarios
+- Maintain clean, maintainable code structure
+
+### Getting Started with Installation
+
 To get started with CrewAI, follow these simple steps:
 
-1. **Installation**:
+### 1. Installation
+
+Ensure you have Python >=3.10 <3.13 installed on your system. CrewAI uses [UV](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management and package handling, offering a seamless setup and execution experience.
+
+First, install CrewAI:
 
 ```shell
 pip install crewai
 ```
+If you want to install the 'crewai' package along with its optional features that include additional tools for agents, you can do so by using the following command:
 
-2. **Setting Up Your Crew**:
+```shell
+pip install 'crewai[tools]'
+```
+The command above installs the basic package and also adds extra components which require more dependencies to function.
 
-```python
-import os
-from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, Process
+### Troubleshooting Dependencies
 
-os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
+If you encounter issues during installation or usage, here are some common solutions:
 
-# Define your agents with roles and goals
-researcher = Agent(
-  role='Researcher',
-  goal='Discover new insights',
-  backstory="You're a world class researcher working on a major data science company",
-  verbose=True,
-  allow_delegation=False
-  # llm=OpenAI(temperature=0.7, model_name="gpt-4"). It uses langchain.chat_models, default is GPT4
-)
-writer = Agent(
-  role='Writer',
-  goal='Create engaging content',
-  backstory="You're a famous technical writer, specialized on writing data related content",
-  verbose=True,
-  allow_delegation=False
-)
+#### Common Issues
 
-# Create tasks for your agents
-task1 = Task(description='Investigate the latest AI trends', agent=researcher)
-task2 = Task(description='Write a blog post on AI advancements', agent=writer)
+1. **ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tiktoken'**
+   - Install tiktoken explicitly: `pip install 'crewai[embeddings]'`
+   - If using embedchain or other tools: `pip install 'crewai[tools]'`
 
-# Instantiate your crew with a sequential process
-crew = Crew(
-  agents=[researcher, writer],
-  tasks=[task1, task2],
-  verbose=2, # Crew verbose more will let you know what tasks are being worked on, you can set it to 1 or 2 to different logging levels
-  process=Process.sequential # Sequential process will have tasks executed one after the other and the outcome of the previous one is passed as extra content into this next.
-)
+2. **Failed building wheel for tiktoken**
+   - Ensure Rust compiler is installed (see installation steps above)
+   - For Windows: Verify Visual C++ Build Tools are installed
+   - Try upgrading pip: `pip install --upgrade pip`
+   - If issues persist, use a pre-built wheel: `pip install tiktoken --prefer-binary`
 
-# Get your crew to work!
-result = crew.kickoff()
+### 2. Setting Up Your Crew with the YAML Configuration
+
+To create a new CrewAI project, run the following CLI (Command Line Interface) command:
+
+```shell
+crewai create crew <project_name>
 ```
 
-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.
+This command creates a new project folder with the following structure:
+
+```
+my_project/
+├── .gitignore
+├── pyproject.toml
+├── README.md
+├── .env
+└── src/
+    └── my_project/
+        ├── __init__.py
+        ├── main.py
+        ├── crew.py
+        ├── tools/
+        │   ├── custom_tool.py
+        │   └── __init__.py
+        └── config/
+            ├── agents.yaml
+            └── tasks.yaml
+```
+
+You can now start developing your crew by editing the files in the `src/my_project` folder. The `main.py` file is the entry point of the project, the `crew.py` file is where you define your crew, the `agents.yaml` file is where you define your agents, and the `tasks.yaml` file is where you define your tasks.
+
+#### To customize your project, you can:
+
+- Modify `src/my_project/config/agents.yaml` to define your agents.
+- Modify `src/my_project/config/tasks.yaml` to define your tasks.
+- Modify `src/my_project/crew.py` to add your own logic, tools, and specific arguments.
+- Modify `src/my_project/main.py` to add custom inputs for your agents and tasks.
+- Add your environment variables into the `.env` file.
+
+#### Example of a simple crew with a sequential process:
+
+Instantiate your crew:
+
+```shell
+crewai create crew latest-ai-development
+```
+
+Modify the files as needed to fit your use case:
+
+**agents.yaml**
+
+```yaml

+    """
+    inputs = {
+        'topic': 'AI Agents'
+    }
+    LatestAiDevelopmentCrew().crew().kickoff(inputs=inputs)
+```
+
+### 3. Running Your Crew
+
+Before running your crew, make sure you have the following keys set as environment variables in your `.env` file:
+
+- An [OpenAI API key](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys) (or other LLM API key): `OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...`
+- A [Serper.dev](https://serper.dev/) API key: `SERPER_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE`
+
+Lock the dependencies and install them by using the CLI command but first, navigate to your project directory:
+
+```shell
+cd my_project
+crewai install (Optional)
+```
+
+To run your crew, execute the following command in the root of your project:
+
+```bash
+crewai run
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+python src/my_project/main.py
+```
+
+If an error happens due to the usage of poetry, please run the following command to update your crewai package:
+
+```bash
+crewai update
+```
+
+You should see the output in the console and the `report.md` file should be created in the root of your project with the full final report.
+
+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.
+**Note**: CrewAI is a standalone framework built from the ground up, without dependencies on Langchain or other agent frameworks.

 ## Examples
-You can test different real life examples of AI crews [in the examples repo](https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewAI-examples?tab=readme-ov-file)
 
-## Local Open Source Models
-crewAI supports integration with local models, thorugh tools such as [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.
+You can test different real life examples of AI crews in the [CrewAI-examples repo](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples?tab=readme-ov-file):
 
-### Setting Up Ollama
-- **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`.

+
+### Using Crews and Flows Together
+
+CrewAI's power truly shines when combining Crews with Flows to create sophisticated automation pipelines. Here's how you can orchestrate multiple Crews within a Flow:
 
 ```python
-from langchain.llms import Ollama
-ollama_openhermes = Ollama(model="agent")
-# 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 crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start, router
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task
+from pydantic import BaseModel
 
-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
-)
+# Define structured state for precise control
+class MarketState(BaseModel):
+    sentiment: str = "neutral"
+    confidence: float = 0.0
+    recommendations: list = []
+
+class AdvancedAnalysisFlow(Flow[MarketState]):
+    @start()
+    def fetch_market_data(self):
+        # Demonstrate low-level control with structured state
+        self.state.sentiment = "analyzing"
+        return {"sector": "tech", "timeframe": "1W"}  # These parameters match the task description template
+
+    @listen(fetch_market_data)
+    def analyze_with_crew(self, market_data):
+        # Show crew agency through specialized roles
+        analyst = Agent(
+            role="Senior Market Analyst",
+            goal="Conduct deep market analysis with expert insight",
+            backstory="You're a veteran analyst known for identifying subtle market patterns"
+        )
+        researcher = Agent(
+            role="Data Researcher",
+            goal="Gather and validate supporting market data",
+            backstory="You excel at finding and correlating multiple data sources"
+        )
+
+        analysis_task = Task(
+            description="Analyze {sector} sector data for the past {timeframe}",
+            expected_output="Detailed market analysis with confidence score",
+            agent=analyst
+        )
+        research_task = Task(
+            description="Find supporting data to validate the analysis",
+            expected_output="Corroborating evidence and potential contradictions",
+            agent=researcher
+        )
+
+        # Demonstrate crew autonomy
+        analysis_crew = Crew(
+            agents=[analyst, researcher],
+            tasks=[analysis_task, research_task],
+            process=Process.sequential,
+            verbose=True
+        )
+        return analysis_crew.kickoff(inputs=market_data)  # Pass market_data as named inputs
+
+    @router(analyze_with_crew)
+    def determine_next_steps(self):
+        # Show flow control with conditional routing
+        if self.state.confidence > 0.8:
+            return "high_confidence"
+        elif self.state.confidence > 0.5:
+            return "medium_confidence"
+        return "low_confidence"
+
+    @listen("high_confidence")
+    def execute_strategy(self):
+        # Demonstrate complex decision making
+        strategy_crew = Crew(
+            agents=[
+                Agent(role="Strategy Expert",
+                      goal="Develop optimal market strategy")
+            ],
+            tasks=[
+                Task(description="Create detailed strategy based on analysis",
+                     expected_output="Step-by-step action plan")
+            ]
+        )
+        return strategy_crew.kickoff()
+
+    @listen("medium_confidence", "low_confidence")
+    def request_additional_analysis(self):
+        self.state.recommendations.append("Gather more data")
+        return "Additional analysis required"
 ```
 
+This example demonstrates how to:
+1. Use Python code for basic data operations
+2. Create and execute Crews as steps in your workflow
+3. Use Flow decorators to manage the sequence of operations
+4. Implement conditional branching based on Crew results
+
+## Connecting Your Crew to a Model
+
+CrewAI supports using various LLMs through a variety of connection options. By default your agents will use the OpenAI API when querying the model. However, there are several other ways to allow your agents to connect to models. For example, you can configure your agents to use a local model via the Ollama tool.
+
+Please refer to the [Connect CrewAI to LLMs](https://docs.crewai.com/how-to/LLM-Connections/) 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.
+**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.
+
+- **LangGraph**: While LangGraph provides a foundation for building agent workflows, its approach requires significant boilerplate code and complex state management patterns. The framework's tight coupling with LangChain can limit flexibility when implementing custom agent behaviors or integrating with external systems.
+
+*P.S. CrewAI demonstrates significant performance advantages over LangGraph, executing 5.76x faster in certain cases like this QA task example ([see comparison](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/Notebooks/CrewAI%20Flows%20%26%20Langgraph/QA%20Agent)) while achieving higher evaluation scores with faster completion times in certain coding tasks, like in this example ([detailed analysis](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/blob/main/Notebooks/CrewAI%20Flows%20%26%20Langgraph/Coding%20Assistant/coding_assistant_eval.ipynb)).*
+
+- **Autogen**: While Autogen excels at creating conversational agents capable of working together, it lacks an inherent concept of process. In Autogen, orchestrating agents' interactions requires additional programming, which can become complex and cumbersome as the scale of tasks grows.
 
 - **ChatDev**: ChatDev introduced the idea of processes into the realm of AI agents, but its implementation is quite rigid. Customizations in ChatDev are limited and not geared towards production environments, which can hinder scalability and flexibility in real-world applications.
 
-**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.

+## 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.
+
+It's pivotal to understand that **NO data is collected** concerning prompts, task descriptions, agents' backstories or goals, usage of tools, API calls, responses, any data processed by the agents, or secrets and environment variables, with the exception of the conditions mentioned. When the `share_crew` feature is enabled, detailed data including task descriptions, agents' backstories or goals, and other specific attributes are collected to provide deeper insights while respecting user privacy. Users can disable telemetry by setting the environment variable OTEL_SDK_DISABLED to true.
+
+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 publicly available tools, which ones are being used the most so we can improve them
+
+Users can opt-in to Further Telemetry, sharing the complete telemetry data by setting the `share_crew` attribute to `True` on their Crews. Enabling `share_crew` results in the collection of detailed crew and task execution data, including `goal`, `backstory`, `context`, and `output` of tasks. This enables a deeper insight into usage patterns while respecting the user's choice to share.

+description: Detailed guide on creating and managing agents within the CrewAI framework.
+icon: robot
+---
+
+## Overview of an Agent
+
+In the CrewAI framework, an `Agent` is an autonomous unit that can:
+- Perform specific tasks
+- Make decisions based on its role and goal
+- Use tools to accomplish objectives
+- Communicate and collaborate with other agents
+- Maintain memory of interactions
+- Delegate tasks when allowed
+
+<Tip>
+Think of an agent as a specialized team member with specific skills, expertise, and responsibilities. For example, a `Researcher` agent might excel at gathering and analyzing information, while a `Writer` agent might be better at creating content.
+</Tip>
+

+
+## Creating Agents
+
+There are two ways to create agents 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 agents. We strongly recommend using this approach in your CrewAI projects.
+
+After creating your CrewAI project as outlined in the [Installation](/installation) section, navigate to the `src/latest_ai_development/config/agents.yaml` file and modify the template to match your requirements.
+
+<Note>
+Variables in your YAML files (like `{topic}`) will be replaced with values from your inputs when running the crew:
+```python Code
+crew.kickoff(inputs={'topic': 'AI Agents'})
+```
+</Note>
+
+Here's an example of how to configure agents using YAML:
+
+```yaml agents.yaml
+# src/latest_ai_development/config/agents.yaml
+researcher:
+  role: >
+    {topic} Senior Data Researcher
+  goal: >
+    Uncover cutting-edge developments in {topic}
+  backstory: >
+    You're a seasoned researcher with a knack for uncovering the latest
+    developments in {topic}. Known for your ability to find the most relevant
+    information and present it in a clear and concise manner.
+
+reporting_analyst:
+  role: >
+    {topic} Reporting Analyst
+  goal: >
+    Create detailed reports based on {topic} data analysis and research findings
+  backstory: >
+    You're a meticulous analyst with a keen eye for detail. You're known for
+    your ability to turn complex data into clear and concise reports, making
+    it easy for others to understand and act on the information you provide.
+```
+
+To use this YAML configuration in your code, create a crew class that inherits from `CrewBase`:
+
+```python Code
+# src/latest_ai_development/crew.py
+from crewai import Agent, Crew, Process
+from crewai.project import CrewBase, agent, crew
+from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
+
+@CrewBase
+class LatestAiDevelopmentCrew():
+  """LatestAiDevelopment crew"""
+
+  agents_config = "config/agents.yaml"
+
+  @agent
+  def researcher(self) -> Agent:
+    return Agent(
+      config=self.agents_config['researcher'],
+      verbose=True,
+      tools=[SerperDevTool()]
+    )
+
+  @agent
+  def reporting_analyst(self) -> Agent:
+    return Agent(
+      config=self.agents_config['reporting_analyst'],
+      verbose=True
+    )
+```
+
+<Note>
+The names you use in your YAML files (`agents.yaml`) should match the method names in your Python code.
+</Note>
+
+### Direct Code Definition
+
+You can create agents directly in code by instantiating the `Agent` class. Here's a comprehensive example showing all available parameters:
+
+```python Code
+from crewai import Agent
+from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool
+
+# Create an agent with all available parameters
+agent = Agent(
+    role="Senior Data Scientist",
+    goal="Analyze and interpret complex datasets to provide actionable insights",
+    backstory="With over 10 years of experience in data science and machine learning, "
+              "you excel at finding patterns in complex datasets.",
+    llm="gpt-4",  # Default: OPENAI_MODEL_NAME or "gpt-4"
+    function_calling_llm=None,  # Optional: Separate LLM for tool calling
+    memory=True,  # Default: True
+    verbose=False,  # Default: False
+    allow_delegation=False,  # Default: False
+    max_iter=20,  # Default: 20 iterations
+    max_rpm=None,  # Optional: Rate limit for API calls
+    max_execution_time=None,  # Optional: Maximum execution time in seconds
+    max_retry_limit=2,  # Default: 2 retries on error
+    allow_code_execution=False,  # Default: False
+    code_execution_mode="safe",  # Default: "safe" (options: "safe", "unsafe")
+    respect_context_window=True,  # Default: True
+    use_system_prompt=True,  # Default: True
+    tools=[SerperDevTool()],  # Optional: List of tools
+    knowledge_sources=None,  # Optional: List of knowledge sources
+    embedder=None,  # Optional: Custom embedder configuration
+    system_template=None,  # Optional: Custom system prompt template
+    prompt_template=None,  # Optional: Custom prompt template
+    response_template=None,  # Optional: Custom response template
+    step_callback=None,  # Optional: Callback function for monitoring
+)
+```
+
+Let's break down some key parameter combinations for common use cases:
+
+#### Basic Research Agent
+```python Code
+research_agent = Agent(
+    role="Research Analyst",
+    goal="Find and summarize information about specific topics",
+    backstory="You are an experienced researcher with attention to detail",
+    tools=[SerperDevTool()],
+    verbose=True  # Enable logging for debugging
+)
+```
+
+#### Code Development Agent
+```python Code
+dev_agent = Agent(
+    role="Senior Python Developer",
+    goal="Write and debug Python code",
+    backstory="Expert Python developer with 10 years of experience",
+    allow_code_execution=True,
+    code_execution_mode="safe",  # Uses Docker for safety
+    max_execution_time=300,  # 5-minute timeout
+    max_retry_limit=3  # More retries for complex code tasks
+)
+```
+
+#### Long-Running Analysis Agent
+```python Code
+analysis_agent = Agent(
+    role="Data Analyst",
+    goal="Perform deep analysis of large datasets",
+    backstory="Specialized in big data analysis and pattern recognition",
+    memory=True,
+    respect_context_window=True,
+    max_rpm=10,  # Limit API calls
+    function_calling_llm="gpt-4o-mini"  # Cheaper model for tool calls
+)
+```
+
+#### Custom Template Agent
+```python Code
+custom_agent = Agent(
+    role="Customer Service Representative",
+    goal="Assist customers with their inquiries",
+    backstory="Experienced in customer support with a focus on satisfaction",
+    system_template="""<|start_header_id|>system<|end_header_id|>
+                        {{ .System }}<|eot_id|>""",
+    prompt_template="""<|start_header_id|>user<|end_header_id|>
+                        {{ .Prompt }}<|eot_id|>""",
+    response_template="""<|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
+                        {{ .Response }}<|eot_id|>""",
+)
+```
+
+### Parameter Details
+
+#### Critical Parameters
+- `role`, `goal`, and `backstory` are required and shape the agent's behavior
+- `llm` determines the language model used (default: OpenAI's GPT-4)
+
+#### Memory and Context
+- `memory`: Enable to maintain conversation history
+- `respect_context_window`: Prevents token limit issues
+- `knowledge_sources`: Add domain-specific knowledge bases
+
+#### Execution Control
+- `max_iter`: Maximum attempts before giving best answer
+- `max_execution_time`: Timeout in seconds
+- `max_rpm`: Rate limiting for API calls
+- `max_retry_limit`: Retries on error
+
+#### Code Execution
+- `allow_code_execution`: Must be True to run code
+- `code_execution_mode`: 
+  - `"safe"`: Uses Docker (recommended for production)
+  - `"unsafe"`: Direct execution (use only in trusted environments)
+
+#### Templates
+- `system_template`: Defines agent's core behavior
+- `prompt_template`: Structures input format
+- `response_template`: Formats agent responses
+
+<Note>
+When using custom templates, you can use variables like `{role}`, `{goal}`, and `{input}` in your templates. These will be automatically populated during execution.
+</Note>
+
+## Agent Tools
+
+Agents can be equipped with various tools to enhance their capabilities. CrewAI supports tools from:
+- [CrewAI Toolkit](https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewai-tools)
+- [LangChain Tools](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools)
+
+Here's how to add tools to an agent:
+
+```python Code
+from crewai import Agent
+from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool, WikipediaTools
+
+# Create tools
+search_tool = SerperDevTool()
+wiki_tool = WikipediaTools()
+
+# Add tools to agent
+researcher = Agent(
+    role="AI Technology Researcher",
+    goal="Research the latest AI developments",
+    tools=[search_tool, wiki_tool],
+    verbose=True
+)
+```
+
+## Agent Memory and Context
+
+Agents can maintain memory of their interactions and use context from previous tasks. This is particularly useful for complex workflows where information needs to be retained across multiple tasks.
+
+```python Code
+from crewai import Agent
+
+analyst = Agent(
+    role="Data Analyst",
+    goal="Analyze and remember complex data patterns",
+    memory=True,  # Enable memory
+    verbose=True
+)
+```
+
+<Note>
+When `memory` is enabled, the agent will maintain context across multiple interactions, improving its ability to handle complex, multi-step tasks.
+</Note>
+
+## Important Considerations and Best Practices
+
+### Security and Code Execution
+- When using `allow_code_execution`, be cautious with user input and always validate it
+- Use `code_execution_mode: "safe"` (Docker) in production environments
+- Consider setting appropriate `max_execution_time` limits to prevent infinite loops
+
+### Performance Optimization
+- Use `respect_context_window: true` to prevent token limit issues
+- Set appropriate `max_rpm` to avoid rate limiting
+- Enable `cache: true` to improve performance for repetitive tasks
+- Adjust `max_iter` and `max_retry_limit` based on task complexity
+
+### Memory and Context Management
+- Use `memory: true` for tasks requiring historical context
+- Leverage `knowledge_sources` for domain-specific information
+- Configure `embedder_config` when using custom embedding models
+- Use custom templates (`system_template`, `prompt_template`, `response_template`) for fine-grained control over agent behavior
+
+### Agent Collaboration
+- Enable `allow_delegation: true` when agents need to work together
+- Use `step_callback` to monitor and log agent interactions
+- Consider using different LLMs for different purposes:
+  - Main `llm` for complex reasoning
+  - `function_calling_llm` for efficient tool usage
+
+### Model Compatibility
+- Set `use_system_prompt: false` for older models that don't support system messages
+- Ensure your chosen `llm` supports the features you need (like function calling)
+
+## Troubleshooting Common Issues
+
+1. **Rate Limiting**: If you're hitting API rate limits:
+   - Implement appropriate `max_rpm`
+   - Use caching for repetitive operations
+   - Consider batching requests
+
+2. **Context Window Errors**: If you're exceeding context limits:
+   - Enable `respect_context_window`
+   - Use more efficient prompts
+   - Clear agent memory periodically
+
+3. **Code Execution Issues**: If code execution fails:
+   - Verify Docker is installed for safe mode
+   - Check execution permissions
+   - Review code sandbox settings
+
+4. **Memory Issues**: If agent responses seem inconsistent:
+   - Verify memory is enabled
+   - Check knowledge source configuration
+   - Review conversation history management
+
+Remember that agents are most effective when configured according to their specific use case. Take time to understand your requirements and adjust these parameters accordingly.

Defaults to `True`.                                                                                                                                                         |
+| **Embedder** _(optional)_             | `embedder`             | Configuration for the embedder to be used by the crew. Mostly used by memory for now. Default is `{"provider": "openai"}`.                                                                                                                                |
+| **Full Output** _(optional)_          | `full_output`          | Whether the crew should return the full output with all tasks outputs or just the final output. Defaults to `False`.                                                                                                                                      |
+| **Step Callback** _(optional)_        | `step_callback`        | 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)_        | `task_callback`        | A function that is called after the completion of each task.

+| **Share Crew** _(optional)_           | `share_crew`           | 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)_      | `output_log_file`      | Set to True to save logs as logs.txt in the current directory or provide a file path. Logs will be in JSON format if the filename ends in .json, otherwise .txt. Defautls to `None`.                                                                      |
+| **Manager Agent** _(optional)_        | `manager_agent`        | `manager` sets a custom agent that will be used as a manager.                                                                                                                                                                                             |
+| **Prompt File** _(optional)_          | `prompt_file`          | Path to the prompt JSON file to be used for the crew.                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
+| **Planning** *(optional)*             | `planning`             | Adds planning ability to the Crew. When activated before each Crew iteration, all Crew data is sent to an AgentPlanner that will plan the tasks and this plan will be added to each task description.                                                     |
+| **Planning LLM** *(optional)*         | `planning_llm`         | The language model used by the AgentPlanner in a planning process.                                                                                                                                                                                        |
+
+<Tip>
+**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.
+</Tip>
+
+## 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
+
+```python code
+from crewai import Agent, Crew, Task, Process
+from crewai.project import CrewBase, agent, task, crew, before_kickoff, after_kickoff
+
+
+@CrewBase
+class YourCrewName:
+    """Description of your crew"""
+
+    # Paths to your YAML configuration files
+    # To see an example agent and task defined in YAML, checkout the following:
+    # - Task: https://docs.crewai.com/concepts/tasks#yaml-configuration-recommended
+    # - Agents: https://docs.crewai.com/concepts/agents#yaml-configuration-recommended
+    agents_config = 'config/agents.yaml' 
+    tasks_config = 'config/tasks.yaml' 
+
+    @before_kickoff
+    def prepare_inputs(self, inputs):
+        # Modify inputs before the crew starts
+        inputs['additional_data'] = "Some extra information"
+        return inputs
+
+    @after_kickoff
+    def process_output(self, output):
+        # Modify output after the crew finishes
+        output.raw += "\nProcessed after kickoff."
+        return output
+
+    @agent
+    def agent_one(self) -> Agent:
+        return Agent(
+            config=self.agents_config['agent_one'],
+            verbose=True
+        )
+
+    @agent
+    def agent_two(self) -> Agent:
+        return Agent(
+            config=self.agents_config['agent_two'],
+            verbose=True
+        )
+
+    @task
+    def task_one(self) -> Task:
+        return Task(
+            config=self.tasks_config['task_one']
+        )
+
+    @task
+    def task_two(self) -> Task:
+        return Task(
+            config=self.tasks_config['task_two']
+        )
+
+    @crew
+    def crew(self) -> Crew:
+        return Crew(
+            agents=self.agents,  # Automatically collected by the @agent decorator
+            tasks=self.tasks,    # Automatically collected by the @task decorator. 
+            process=Process.sequential,
+            verbose=True,
+        )
+```
+
+<Note>
+Tasks will be executed in the order they are defined.
+</Note>
+
+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:
+        return Agent(
+            role="Data Analyst",
+            goal="Analyze data trends in the market",
+            backstory="An experienced data analyst with a background in economics",
+            verbose=True,
+            tools=[YourCustomTool()]
+        )
+
+    def agent_two(self) -> Agent:
+        return Agent(
+            role="Market Researcher",
+            goal="Gather information on market dynamics",
+            backstory="A diligent researcher with a keen eye for detail",
+            verbose=True
+        )
+
+    def task_one(self) -> Task:
+        return Task(
+            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:
+        return Task(
+            description="Research factors affecting market dynamics.",
+            expected_output="An analysis of factors influencing the market.",
+            agent=self.agent_two()
+        )
+
+    def crew(self) -> Crew:
+        return Crew(
+            agents=[self.agent_one(), self.agent_two()],
+            tasks=[self.task_one(), self.task_two()],
+            process=Process.sequential,
+            verbose=True
+        )
+```
+
+In this example:
+
+- Agents and tasks are defined directly within the class without decorators.
+- We manually create and manage the list of agents and tasks.
+- This approach provides more control but can be less maintainable for larger projects.
+
+## Crew Output
+
+The output of a crew in the CrewAI framework is encapsulated within the `CrewOutput` class.
+This class provides a structured way to access results of the crew's execution, including various formats such as raw strings, JSON, and Pydantic models.
+The `CrewOutput` includes the results from the final task output, token usage, and individual task outputs.
+
+### Crew Output Attributes
+
+| Attribute        | Parameters     | Type                       | Description                                                                                          |
+| :--------------- | :------------- | :------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Raw**          | `raw`          | `str`                      | The raw output of the crew. This is the default format for the output.                               |
+| **Pydantic**     | `pydantic`     | `Optional[BaseModel]`      | A Pydantic model object representing the structured output of the crew.                              |
+| **JSON Dict**    | `json_dict`    | `Optional[Dict[str, Any]]` | A dictionary representing the JSON output of the crew.                                               |
+| **Tasks Output** | `tasks_output` | `List[TaskOutput]`         | A list of `TaskOutput` objects, each representing the output of a task in the crew.                  |
+| **Token Usage**  | `token_usage`  | `Dict[str, Any]`           | A summary of token usage, providing insights into the language model's performance during execution. |
+
+### Crew Output Methods and Properties
+
+| Method/Property | Description                                                                                       |
+| :-------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| **json**        | Returns the JSON string representation of the crew output if the output format is JSON.           |
+| **to_dict**     | Converts the JSON and Pydantic outputs to a dictionary.                                           |
+| \***\*str\*\*** | Returns the string representation of the crew output, prioritizing Pydantic, then JSON, then raw. |
+
+### Accessing Crew Outputs
+
+Once a crew has been executed, its output can be accessed through the `output` attribute of the `Crew` object. The `CrewOutput` class provides various ways to interact with and present this output.
+
+#### Example
+
+```python Code
+# Example crew execution
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=[research_agent, writer_agent],
+    tasks=[research_task, write_article_task],
+    verbose=True
+)
+
+crew_output = crew.kickoff()
+
+# Accessing the crew output
+print(f"Raw Output: {crew_output.raw}")
+if crew_output.json_dict:
+    print(f"JSON Output: {json.dumps(crew_output.json_dict, indent=2)}")
+if crew_output.pydantic:
+    print(f"Pydantic Output: {crew_output.pydantic}")
+print(f"Tasks Output: {crew_output.tasks_output}")
+print(f"Token Usage: {crew_output.token_usage}")
+```
+
+## Accessing Crew Logs
+
+You can see real time log of the crew execution, by setting `output_log_file` as a `True(Boolean)` or a `file_name(str)`. Supports logging of events as both `file_name.txt` and `file_name.json`.
+In case of `True(Boolean)` will save as `logs.txt`.
+
+In case of `output_log_file` is set as `False(Booelan)` or `None`, the logs will not be populated.
+
+```python Code
+# Save crew logs
+crew = Crew(output_log_file = True)  # Logs will be saved as logs.txt
+crew = Crew(output_log_file = file_name)  # Logs will be saved as file_name.txt
+crew = Crew(output_log_file = file_name.txt)  # Logs will be saved as file_name.txt
+crew = Crew(output_log_file = file_name.json)  # Logs will be saved as file_name.json
+```
+
+
+
+## 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 Code
+# 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` or `manager_agent` 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 Code
+# Start the crew's task execution
+result = my_crew.kickoff()
+print(result)
+```
+
+### Different Ways to Kick Off a Crew
+
+Once your crew is assembled, initiate the workflow with the appropriate kickoff method. CrewAI provides several methods for better control over the kickoff process: `kickoff()`, `kickoff_for_each()`, `kickoff_async()`, and `kickoff_for_each_async()`.
+
+- `kickoff()`: Starts the execution process according to the defined process flow.
+- `kickoff_for_each()`: Executes tasks sequentially for each provided input event or item in the collection.
+- `kickoff_async()`: Initiates the workflow asynchronously.
+- `kickoff_for_each_async()`: Executes tasks concurrently for each provided input event or item, leveraging asynchronous processing.
+
+```python Code
+# Start the crew's task execution
+result = my_crew.kickoff()
+print(result)
+
+# Example of using kickoff_for_each
+inputs_array = [{'topic': 'AI in healthcare'}, {'topic': 'AI in finance'}]
+results = my_crew.kickoff_for_each(inputs=inputs_array)
+for result in results:
+    print(result)
+
+# Example of using kickoff_async
+inputs = {'topic': 'AI in healthcare'}
+async_result = my_crew.kickoff_async(inputs=inputs)
+print(async_result)
+
+# Example of using kickoff_for_each_async
+inputs_array = [{'topic': 'AI in healthcare'}, {'topic': 'AI in finance'}]
+async_results = my_crew.kickoff_for_each_async(inputs=inputs_array)
+for async_result in async_results:
+    print(async_result)
+```
+
+These methods provide flexibility in how you manage and execute tasks within your crew, allowing for both synchronous and asynchronous workflows tailored to your needs.
+
+### Replaying from a Specific Task
+
+You can now replay from a specific task using our CLI command `replay`.
+
+The replay feature in CrewAI allows you to replay from a specific task using the command-line interface (CLI). By running the command `crewai replay -t <task_id>`, you can specify the `task_id` for the replay process.
+
+Kickoffs will now save the latest kickoffs returned task outputs locally for you to be able to replay from.
+
+### Replaying from a Specific Task Using the CLI
+
+To use the replay feature, follow these steps:
+
+1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
+2. Navigate to the directory where your CrewAI project is located.
+3. Run the following command:
+
+To view the latest kickoff task IDs, use:
+
+```shell
+crewai log-tasks-outputs
+```
+
+Then, to replay from a specific task, use:
+
+```shell
+crewai replay -t <task_id>
+```
+
+These commands let you replay from your latest kickoff tasks, still retaining context from previously executed tasks.

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

+2. **event**: The event instance, containing event-specific data
+
+The structure of the event object depends on the event type, but all events inherit from `CrewEvent` and include:
+
+- **timestamp**: The time when the event was emitted
+- **type**: A string identifier for the event type
+
+Additional fields vary by event type. For example, `CrewKickoffCompletedEvent` includes `crew_name` and `output` fields.
+
+## Real-World Example: Integration with AgentOps
+
+CrewAI includes an example of a third-party integration with [AgentOps](https://github.com/AgentOps-AI/agentops), a monitoring and observability platform for AI agents. Here's how it's implemented:
+
+```python
+from typing import Optional
+
+from crewai.utilities.events import (
+    CrewKickoffCompletedEvent,
+    ToolUsageErrorEvent,
+    ToolUsageStartedEvent,
+)
+from crewai.utilities.events.base_event_listener import BaseEventListener
+from crewai.utilities.events.crew_events import CrewKickoffStartedEvent
+from crewai.utilities.events.task_events import TaskEvaluationEvent
+
+try:
+    import agentops
+    AGENTOPS_INSTALLED = True
+except ImportError:
+    AGENTOPS_INSTALLED = False
+
+class AgentOpsListener(BaseEventListener):
+    tool_event: Optional["agentops.ToolEvent"] = None
+    session: Optional["agentops.Session"] = None
+
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__()
+
+    def setup_listeners(self, crewai_event_bus):
+        if not AGENTOPS_INSTALLED:
+            return
+
+        @crewai_event_bus.on(CrewKickoffStartedEvent)
+        def on_crew_kickoff_started(source, event: CrewKickoffStartedEvent):
+            self.session = agentops.init()
+            for agent in source.agents:
+                if self.session:
+                    self.session.create_agent(
+                        name=agent.role,
+                        agent_id=str(agent.id),
+                    )
+
+        @crewai_event_bus.on(CrewKickoffCompletedEvent)
+        def on_crew_kickoff_completed(source, event: CrewKickoffCompletedEvent):
+            if self.session:
+                self.session.end_session(
+                    end_state="Success",
+                    end_state_reason="Finished Execution",
+                )
+
+        @crewai_event_bus.on(ToolUsageStartedEvent)
+        def on_tool_usage_started(source, event: ToolUsageStartedEvent):
+            self.tool_event = agentops.ToolEvent(name=event.tool_name)
+            if self.session:
+                self.session.record(self.tool_event)
+
+        @crewai_event_bus.on(ToolUsageErrorEvent)
+        def on_tool_usage_error(source, event: ToolUsageErrorEvent):
+            agentops.ErrorEvent(exception=event.error, trigger_event=self.tool_event)
+```
+
+This listener initializes an AgentOps session when a Crew starts, registers agents with AgentOps, tracks tool usage, and ends the session when the Crew completes.
+
+The AgentOps listener is registered in CrewAI's event system through the import in `src/crewai/utilities/events/third_party/__init__.py`:
+
+```python
+from .agentops_listener import agentops_listener
+```
+
+This ensures the `agentops_listener` is loaded when the `crewai.utilities.events` package is imported.
+
+## Advanced Usage: Scoped Handlers
+
+For temporary event handling (useful for testing or specific operations), you can use the `scoped_handlers` context manager:
+
+```python
+from crewai.utilities.events import crewai_event_bus, CrewKickoffStartedEvent
+
+with crewai_event_bus.scoped_handlers():
+    @crewai_event_bus.on(CrewKickoffStartedEvent)
+    def temp_handler(source, event):
+        print("This handler only exists within this context")
+    
+    # Do something that emits events
+    
+# Outside the context, the temporary handler is removed
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+Event listeners can be used for a variety of purposes:
+
+1. **Logging and Monitoring**: Track the execution of your Crew and log important events
+2. **Analytics**: Collect data about your Crew's performance and behavior
+3. **Debugging**: Set up temporary listeners to debug specific issues
+4. **Integration**: Connect CrewAI with external systems like monitoring platforms, databases, or notification services
+5. **Custom Behavior**: Trigger custom actions based on specific events
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep Handlers Light**: Event handlers should be lightweight and avoid blocking operations
+2. **Error Handling**: Include proper error handling in your event handlers to prevent exceptions from affecting the main execution
+3. **Cleanup**: If your listener allocates resources, ensure they're properly cleaned up
+4. **Selective Listening**: Only listen for events you actually need to handle
+5. **Testing**: Test your event listeners in isolation to ensure they behave as expected
+
+By leveraging CrewAI's event system, you can extend its functionality and integrate it seamlessly with your existing infrastructure.

+title: Flows
+description: Learn how to create and manage AI workflows using CrewAI Flows.
+icon: arrow-progress
+---
+
+## Introduction
+
+CrewAI Flows is a powerful feature designed to streamline the creation and management of AI workflows. Flows allow developers to combine and coordinate coding tasks and Crews efficiently, providing a robust framework for building sophisticated AI automations.
+
+Flows allow you to create structured, event-driven workflows. They provide a seamless way to connect multiple tasks, manage state, and control the flow of execution in your AI applications. With Flows, you can easily design and implement multi-step processes that leverage the full potential of CrewAI's capabilities.
+
+1. **Simplified Workflow Creation**: Easily chain together multiple Crews and tasks to create complex AI workflows.
+
+2. **State Management**: Flows make it super easy to manage and share state between different tasks in your workflow.
+
+3. **Event-Driven Architecture**: Built on an event-driven model, allowing for dynamic and responsive workflows.
+
+4. **Flexible Control Flow**: Implement conditional logic, loops, and branching within your workflows.
+
+## 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
+
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
+from dotenv import load_dotenv
+from litellm import completion
+
+
+class ExampleFlow(Flow):
+    model = "gpt-4o-mini"
+
+    @start()
+    def generate_city(self):
+        print("Starting flow")
+        # Each flow state automatically gets a unique ID
+        print(f"Flow State ID: {self.state['id']}")
+
+        response = completion(
+            model=self.model,
+            messages=[
+                {
+                    "role": "user",
+                    "content": "Return the name of a random city in the world.",
+                },
+            ],
+        )
+
+        random_city = response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
+        # Store the city in our state
+        self.state["city"] = random_city
+        print(f"Random City: {random_city}")
+
+        return random_city
+
+    @listen(generate_city)
+    def generate_fun_fact(self, random_city):
+        response = completion(
+            model=self.model,
+            messages=[
+                {
+                    "role": "user",
+                    "content": f"Tell me a fun fact about {random_city}",
+                },
+            ],
+        )
+
+        fun_fact = response["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
+        # Store the fun fact in our state
+        self.state["fun_fact"] = fun_fact
+        return fun_fact
+
+
+
+flow = ExampleFlow()
+result = flow.kickoff()
+
+print(f"Generated fun fact: {result}")
+```
+
+In the above example, we have created a simple Flow that generates a random city using OpenAI and then generates a fun fact about that city. The Flow consists of two tasks: `generate_city` and `generate_fun_fact`. The `generate_city` task is the starting point of the Flow, and the `generate_fun_fact` task listens for the output of the `generate_city` task.
+
+Each Flow instance automatically receives a unique identifier (UUID) in its state, which helps track and manage flow executions. The state can also store additional data (like the generated city and fun fact) that persists throughout the flow's execution.
+
+When you run the Flow, it will:
+1. Generate a unique ID for the flow state
+2. Generate a random city and store it in the state
+3. Generate a fun fact about that city and store it in the state
+4. Print the results to the console
+
+The state's unique ID and stored data can be useful for tracking flow executions and maintaining context between tasks.
+
+**Note:** Ensure you have set up your `.env` file to store your `OPENAI_API_KEY`. This key is necessary for authenticating requests to the OpenAI API.
+
+### @start()
+
+The `@start()` decorator is used to mark a method as the starting point of a Flow. When a Flow is started, all the methods decorated with `@start()` are executed in parallel. You can have multiple start methods in a Flow, and they will all be executed when the Flow is started.
+
+### @listen()
+
+The `@listen()` decorator is used to mark a method as a listener for the output of another task in the Flow. The method decorated with `@listen()` will be executed when the specified task emits an output. The method can access the output of the task it is listening to as an argument.
+
+#### Usage
+
+The `@listen()` decorator can be used in several ways:
+
+1. **Listening to a Method by Name**: You can pass the name of the method you want to listen to as a string. When that method completes, the listener method will be triggered.
+
+   ```python Code
+   @listen("generate_city")
+   def generate_fun_fact(self, random_city):
+       # Implementation
+   ```
+
+2. **Listening to a Method Directly**: You can pass the method itself. When that method completes, the listener method will be triggered.
+   ```python Code
+   @listen(generate_city)
+   def generate_fun_fact(self, random_city):
+       # Implementation
+   ```
+
+### Flow Output
+
+Accessing and handling the output of a Flow is essential for integrating your AI workflows into larger applications or systems. CrewAI Flows provide straightforward mechanisms to retrieve the final output, access intermediate results, and manage the overall state of your Flow.
+
+#### Retrieving the Final Output
+
+When you run a Flow, the final output is determined by the last method that completes. The `kickoff()` method returns the output of this final method.
+
+Here's how you can access the final output:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```python Code
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
+
+class OutputExampleFlow(Flow):
+    @start()
+    def first_method(self):
+        return "Output from first_method"
+
+    @listen(first_method)
+    def second_method(self, first_output):
+        return f"Second method received: {first_output}"
+
+
+flow = OutputExampleFlow()
+final_output = flow.kickoff()
+
+print("---- Final Output ----")
+print(final_output)
+```
+
+```text Output
+---- Final Output ----
+Second method received: Output from first_method
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+In this example, the `second_method` is the last method to complete, so its output will be the final output of the Flow.
+The `kickoff()` method will return the final output, which is then printed to the console.
+
+#### Accessing and Updating State
+
+In addition to retrieving the final output, you can also access and update the state within your Flow. The state can be used to store and share data between different methods in the Flow. After the Flow has run, you can access the state to retrieve any information that was added or updated during the execution.
+
+Here's an example of how to update and access the state:
+
+<CodeGroup>
+
+```python Code
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+class ExampleState(BaseModel):
+    counter: int = 0
+    message: str = ""
+
+class StateExampleFlow(Flow[ExampleState]):
+
+    @start()
+    def first_method(self):
+        self.state.message = "Hello from first_method"
+        self.state.counter += 1
+
+    @listen(first_method)
+    def second_method(self):
+        self.state.message += " - updated by second_method"
+        self.state.counter += 1
+        return self.state.message
+
+flow = StateExampleFlow()
+final_output = flow.kickoff()
+print(f"Final Output: {final_output}")
+print("Final State:")
+print(flow.state)
+```
+
+```text Output
+Final Output: Hello from first_method - updated by second_method
+Final State:
+counter=2 message='Hello from first_method - updated by second_method'
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+In this example, the state is updated by both `first_method` and `second_method`.
+After the Flow has run, you can access the final state to see the updates made by these methods.
+
+By ensuring that the final method's output is returned and providing access to the state, CrewAI Flows make it easy to integrate the results of your AI workflows into larger applications or systems,
+while also maintaining and accessing the state throughout the Flow's execution.
+
+## Flow State Management
+
+Managing state effectively is crucial for building reliable and maintainable AI workflows. CrewAI Flows provides robust mechanisms for both unstructured and structured state management,
+allowing developers to choose the approach that best fits their application's needs.
+
+### Unstructured State Management
+
+In unstructured state management, all state is stored in the `state` attribute of the `Flow` class.
+This approach offers flexibility, enabling developers to add or modify state attributes on the fly without defining a strict schema.
+Even with unstructured states, CrewAI Flows automatically generates and maintains a unique identifier (UUID) for each state instance.
+
+```python Code
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
+
+class UnstructuredExampleFlow(Flow):
+
+    @start()
+    def first_method(self):
+        # The state automatically includes an 'id' field
+        print(f"State ID: {self.state['id']}")
+        self.state['counter'] = 0
+        self.state['message'] = "Hello from structured flow"
+
+    @listen(first_method)
+    def second_method(self):
+        self.state['counter'] += 1
+        self.state['message'] += " - updated"
+
+    @listen(second_method)
+    def third_method(self):
+        self.state['counter'] += 1
+        self.state['message'] += " - updated again"
+
+        print(f"State after third_method: {self.state}")
+
+
+flow = UnstructuredExampleFlow()
+flow.kickoff()
+```
+
+**Note:** The `id` field is automatically generated and preserved throughout the flow's execution. You don't need to manage or set it manually, and it will be maintained even when updating the state with new data.
+
+**Key Points:**
+
+- **Flexibility:** You can dynamically add attributes to `self.state` without predefined constraints.
+- **Simplicity:** Ideal for straightforward workflows where state structure is minimal or varies significantly.
+
+### Structured State Management
+
+Structured state management leverages predefined schemas to ensure consistency and type safety across the workflow.
+By using models like Pydantic's `BaseModel`, developers can define the exact shape of the state, enabling better validation and auto-completion in development environments.
+
+Each state in CrewAI Flows automatically receives a unique identifier (UUID) to help track and manage state instances. This ID is automatically generated and managed by the Flow system.
+
+```python Code
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+
+class ExampleState(BaseModel):
+    # Note: 'id' field is automatically added to all states
+    counter: int = 0
+    message: str = ""
+
+
+class StructuredExampleFlow(Flow[ExampleState]):
+
+    @start()
+    def first_method(self):
+        # Access the auto-generated ID if needed
+        print(f"State ID: {self.state.id}")
+        self.state.message = "Hello from structured flow"
+
+    @listen(first_method)
+    def second_method(self):
+        self.state.counter += 1
+        self.state.message += " - updated"
+
+    @listen(second_method)
+    def third_method(self):
+        self.state.counter += 1
+        self.state.message += " - updated again"
+
+        print(f"State after third_method: {self.state}")
+
+
+flow = StructuredExampleFlow()
+flow.kickoff()
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+
+- **Defined Schema:** `ExampleState` clearly outlines the state structure, enhancing code readability and maintainability.
+- **Type Safety:** Leveraging Pydantic ensures that state attributes adhere to the specified types, reducing runtime errors.
+- **Auto-Completion:** IDEs can provide better auto-completion and error checking based on the defined state model.
+
+### Choosing Between Unstructured and Structured State Management
+
+- **Use Unstructured State Management when:**
+
+  - The workflow's state is simple or highly dynamic.
+  - Flexibility is prioritized over strict state definitions.
+  - Rapid prototyping is required without the overhead of defining schemas.
+
+- **Use Structured State Management when:**
+  - The workflow requires a well-defined and consistent state structure.
+  - Type safety and validation are important for your application's reliability.
+  - You want to leverage IDE features like auto-completion and type checking for better developer experience.
+
+By providing both unstructured and structured state management options, CrewAI Flows empowers developers to build AI workflows that are both flexible and robust, catering to a wide range of application requirements.
+
+## Flow Persistence
+
+The @persist decorator enables automatic state persistence in CrewAI Flows, allowing you to maintain flow state across restarts or different workflow executions. This decorator can be applied at either the class level or method level, providing flexibility in how you manage state persistence.
+
+### Class-Level Persistence
+
+When applied at the class level, the @persist decorator automatically persists all flow method states:
+
+```python
+@persist  # Using SQLiteFlowPersistence by default
+class MyFlow(Flow[MyState]):
+    @start()
+    def initialize_flow(self):
+        # This method will automatically have its state persisted
+        self.state.counter = 1
+        print("Initialized flow. State ID:", self.state.id)
+
+    @listen(initialize_flow)
+    def next_step(self):
+        # The state (including self.state.id) is automatically reloaded
+        self.state.counter += 1
+        print("Flow state is persisted. Counter:", self.state.counter)
+```
+
+### Method-Level Persistence
+
+For more granular control, you can apply @persist to specific methods:
+
+```python
+class AnotherFlow(Flow[dict]):
+    @persist  # Persists only this method's state
+    @start()
+    def begin(self):
+        if "runs" not in self.state:
+            self.state["runs"] = 0
+        self.state["runs"] += 1
+        print("Method-level persisted runs:", self.state["runs"])
+```
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Unique State Identification**
+   - Each flow state automatically receives a unique UUID
+   - The ID is preserved across state updates and method calls
+   - Supports both structured (Pydantic BaseModel) and unstructured (dictionary) states
+
+2. **Default SQLite Backend**
+   - SQLiteFlowPersistence is the default storage backend
+   - States are automatically saved to a local SQLite database
+   - Robust error handling ensures clear messages if database operations fail
+
+3. **Error Handling**
+   - Comprehensive error messages for database operations
+   - Automatic state validation during save and load
+   - Clear feedback when persistence operations encounter issues
+
+### Important Considerations
+
+- **State Types**: Both structured (Pydantic BaseModel) and unstructured (dictionary) states are supported
+- **Automatic ID**: The `id` field is automatically added if not present
+- **State Recovery**: Failed or restarted flows can automatically reload their previous state
+- **Custom Implementation**: You can provide your own FlowPersistence implementation for specialized storage needs
+
+### Technical Advantages
+
+1. **Precise Control Through Low-Level Access**
+   - Direct access to persistence operations for advanced use cases
+   - Fine-grained control via method-level persistence decorators
+   - Built-in state inspection and debugging capabilities
+   - Full visibility into state changes and persistence operations
+
+2. **Enhanced Reliability**
+   - Automatic state recovery after system failures or restarts
+   - Transaction-based state updates for data integrity
+   - Comprehensive error handling with clear error messages
+   - Robust validation during state save and load operations
+
+3. **Extensible Architecture**
+   - Customizable persistence backend through FlowPersistence interface
+   - Support for specialized storage solutions beyond SQLite
+   - Compatible with both structured (Pydantic) and unstructured (dict) states
+   - Seamless integration with existing CrewAI flow patterns
+
+The persistence system's architecture emphasizes technical precision and customization options, allowing developers to maintain full control over state management while benefiting from built-in reliability features.
+
+## Flow Control
+
+### Conditional Logic: `or`
+
+The `or_` function in Flows allows you to listen to multiple methods and trigger the listener method when any of the specified methods emit an output.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+
+```python Code
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, or_, start
+
+class OrExampleFlow(Flow):
+
+    @start()
+    def start_method(self):
+        return "Hello from the start method"
+
+    @listen(start_method)
+    def second_method(self):
+        return "Hello from the second method"
+
+    @listen(or_(start_method, second_method))
+    def logger(self, result):
+        print(f"Logger: {result}")
+
+
+
+flow = OrExampleFlow()
+flow.kickoff()
+```
+
+```text Output
+Logger: Hello from the start method
+Logger: Hello from the second method
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+When you run this Flow, the `logger` method will be triggered by the output of either the `start_method` or the `second_method`.
+The `or_` function is used to listen to multiple methods and trigger the listener method when any of the specified methods emit an output.
+
+### Conditional Logic: `and`
+
+The `and_` function in Flows allows you to listen to multiple methods and trigger the listener method only when all the specified methods emit an output.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+
+```python Code
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, and_, listen, start
+
+class AndExampleFlow(Flow):
+
+    @start()
+    def start_method(self):
+        self.state["greeting"] = "Hello from the start method"
+
+    @listen(start_method)
+    def second_method(self):
+        self.state["joke"] = "What do computers eat? Microchips."
+
+    @listen(and_(start_method, second_method))
+    def logger(self):
+        print("---- Logger ----")
+        print(self.state)
+
+flow = AndExampleFlow()
+flow.kickoff()
+```
+
+```text Output
+---- Logger ----
+{'greeting': 'Hello from the start method', 'joke': 'What do computers eat? Microchips.'}
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+When you run this Flow, the `logger` method will be triggered only when both the `start_method` and the `second_method` emit an output.
+The `and_` function is used to listen to multiple methods and trigger the listener method only when all the specified methods emit an output.
+
+### Router
+
+The `@router()` decorator in Flows allows you to define conditional routing logic based on the output of a method.
+You can specify different routes based on the output of the method, allowing you to control the flow of execution dynamically.
+
+<CodeGroup>
+
+```python Code
+import random
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, router, start
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+class ExampleState(BaseModel):
+    success_flag: bool = False
+
+class RouterFlow(Flow[ExampleState]):
+
+    @start()
+    def start_method(self):
+        print("Starting the structured flow")
+        random_boolean = random.choice([True, False])
+        self.state.success_flag = random_boolean
+
+    @router(start_method)
+    def second_method(self):
+        if self.state.success_flag:
+            return "success"
+        else:
+            return "failed"
+
+    @listen("success")
+    def third_method(self):
+        print("Third method running")
+
+    @listen("failed")
+    def fourth_method(self):
+        print("Fourth method running")
+
+
+flow = RouterFlow()
+flow.kickoff()
+```
+
+```text Output
+Starting the structured flow
+Third method running
+Fourth method running
+```
+
+</CodeGroup>
+
+In the above example, the `start_method` generates a random boolean value and sets it in the state.
+The `second_method` uses the `@router()` decorator to define conditional routing logic based on the value of the boolean.
+If the boolean is `True`, the method returns `"success"`, and if it is `False`, the method returns `"failed"`.
+The `third_method` and `fourth_method` listen to the output of the `second_method` and execute based on the returned value.
+
+When you run this Flow, the output will change based on the random boolean value generated by the `start_method`.
+
+## Adding Crews to Flows
+
+Creating a flow with multiple crews in CrewAI is straightforward.
+
+You can generate a new CrewAI project that includes all the scaffolding needed to create a flow with multiple crews by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+crewai create flow name_of_flow
+```
+
+This command will generate a new CrewAI project with the necessary folder structure. The generated project includes a prebuilt crew called `poem_crew` that is already working. You can use this crew as a template by copying, pasting, and editing it to create other crews.
+
+### Folder Structure
+
+After running the `crewai create flow name_of_flow` command, you will see a folder structure similar to the following:
+
+| Directory/File         | Description                                                        |
+| :--------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `name_of_flow/`        | Root directory for the flow.                                       |
+| ├── `crews/`           | Contains directories for specific crews.                           |
+| │ └── `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.                              |
+| ├── `tools/`           | Directory for additional tools used in the flow.                   |
+| │ └── `custom_tool.py` | Custom tool implementation.                                        |
+| ├── `main.py`          | Main script for running the flow.                                  |
+| ├── `README.md`        | Project description and instructions.                              |
+| ├── `pyproject.toml`   | Configuration file for project dependencies and settings.          |
+| └── `.gitignore`       | Specifies files and directories to ignore in version control.      |
+
+### Building Your Crews
+
+In the `crews` folder, you can define multiple crews. Each crew will have its own folder containing configuration files and the crew definition file. For example, the `poem_crew` folder contains:
+
+- `config/agents.yaml`: Defines the agents for the crew.
+- `config/tasks.yaml`: Defines the tasks for the crew.
+- `poem_crew.py`: Contains the crew definition, including agents, tasks, and the crew itself.
+
+You can copy, paste, and edit the `poem_crew` to create other crews.
+
+### Connecting Crews in `main.py`
+
+The `main.py` file is where you create your flow and connect the crews together. You can define your flow by using the `Flow` class and the decorators `@start` and `@listen` to specify the flow of execution.
+
+Here's an example of how you can connect the `poem_crew` in the `main.py` file:
+
+```python Code
+#!/usr/bin/env python
+from random import randint
+
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
+from .crews.poem_crew.poem_crew import PoemCrew
+
+class PoemState(BaseModel):
+    sentence_count: int = 1
+    poem: str = ""
+
+class PoemFlow(Flow[PoemState]):
+
+    @start()
+    def generate_sentence_count(self):
+        print("Generating sentence count")
+        self.state.sentence_count = randint(1, 5)
+
+    @listen(generate_sentence_count)
+    def generate_poem(self):
+        print("Generating poem")
+        result = PoemCrew().crew().kickoff(inputs={"sentence_count": self.state.sentence_count})
+
+        print("Poem generated", result.raw)
+        self.state.poem = result.raw
+
+    @listen(generate_poem)
+    def save_poem(self):
+        print("Saving poem")
+        with open("poem.txt", "w") as f:
+            f.write(self.state.poem)
+
+def kickoff():
+    poem_flow = PoemFlow()
+    poem_flow.kickoff()
+
+
+def plot():
+    poem_flow = PoemFlow()
+    poem_flow.plot()
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    kickoff()
+```
+
+In this example, the `PoemFlow` class defines a flow that generates a sentence count, uses the `PoemCrew` to generate a poem, and then saves the poem to a file. The flow is kicked off by calling the `kickoff()` method.
+
+### Running the Flow
+
+(Optional) Before running the flow, you can install the dependencies by running:
+
+```bash
+crewai install
+```
+
+Once all of the dependencies are installed, you need to activate the virtual environment by running:
+
+```bash
+source .venv/bin/activate
+```
+
+After activating the virtual environment, you can run the flow by executing one of the following commands:
+
+```bash
+crewai flow kickoff
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+uv run kickoff
+```
+
+The flow will execute, and you should see the output in the console.
+
+## Plot Flows
+
+Visualizing your AI workflows can provide valuable insights into the structure and execution paths of your flows. CrewAI offers a powerful visualization tool that allows you to generate interactive plots of your flows, making it easier to understand and optimize your AI workflows.
+
+### What are Plots?
+
+Plots in CrewAI are graphical representations of your AI workflows. They display the various tasks, their connections, and the flow of data between them. This visualization helps in understanding the sequence of operations, identifying bottlenecks, and ensuring that the workflow logic aligns with your expectations.
+
+### How to Generate a Plot
+
+CrewAI provides two convenient methods to generate plots of your flows:
+
+#### Option 1: Using the `plot()` Method
+
+If you are working directly with a flow instance, you can generate a plot by calling the `plot()` method on your flow object. This method will create an HTML file containing the interactive plot of your flow.
+
+```python Code
+# Assuming you have a flow instance
+flow.plot("my_flow_plot")
+```
+
+This will generate a file named `my_flow_plot.html` in your current directory. You can open this file in a web browser to view the interactive plot.
+
+#### Option 2: Using the Command Line
+
+If you are working within a structured CrewAI project, you can generate a plot using the command line. This is particularly useful for larger projects where you want to visualize the entire flow setup.
+
+```bash
+crewai flow plot
+```
+
+This command will generate an HTML file with the plot of your flow, similar to the `plot()` method. The file will be saved in your project directory, and you can open it in a web browser to explore the flow.
+
+### Understanding the Plot
+
+The generated plot will display nodes representing the tasks in your flow, with directed edges indicating the flow of execution. The plot is interactive, allowing you to zoom in and out, and hover over nodes to see additional details.
+
+By visualizing your flows, you can gain a clearer understanding of the workflow's structure, making it easier to debug, optimize, and communicate your AI processes to others.
+
+### Conclusion
+
+Plotting your flows is a powerful feature of CrewAI that enhances your ability to design and manage complex AI workflows. Whether you choose to use the `plot()` method or the command line, generating plots will provide you with a visual representation of your workflows, aiding in both development and presentation.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+If you're interested in exploring additional examples of flows, we have a variety of recommendations in our examples repository. Here are four specific flow examples, each showcasing unique use cases to help you match your current problem type to a specific example:
+
+1. **Email Auto Responder Flow**: This example demonstrates an infinite loop where a background job continually runs to automate email responses. It's a great use case for tasks that need to be performed repeatedly without manual intervention. [View Example](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/email_auto_responder_flow)
+
+2. **Lead Score Flow**: This flow showcases adding human-in-the-loop feedback and handling different conditional branches using the router. It's an excellent example of how to incorporate dynamic decision-making and human oversight into your workflows. [View Example](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/lead-score-flow)
+
+3. **Write a Book Flow**: This example excels at chaining multiple crews together, where the output of one crew is used by another. Specifically, one crew outlines an entire book, and another crew generates chapters based on the outline. Eventually, everything is connected to produce a complete book. This flow is perfect for complex, multi-step processes that require coordination between different tasks. [View Example](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/write_a_book_with_flows)
+
+4. **Meeting Assistant Flow**: This flow demonstrates how to broadcast one event to trigger multiple follow-up actions. For instance, after a meeting is completed, the flow can update a Trello board, send a Slack message, and save the results. It's a great example of handling multiple outcomes from a single event, making it ideal for comprehensive task management and notification systems. [View Example](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/meeting_assistant_flow)
+
+By exploring these examples, you can gain insights into how to leverage CrewAI Flows for various use cases, from automating repetitive tasks to managing complex, multi-step processes with dynamic decision-making and human feedback.

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

+
+## What is Knowledge?
+
+Knowledge in CrewAI is a powerful system that allows AI agents to access and utilize external information sources during their tasks.
+Think of it as giving your agents a reference library they can consult while working.
+
+<Info>
+  Key benefits of using Knowledge:
+  - Enhance agents with domain-specific information
+  - Support decisions with real-world data
+  - Maintain context across conversations
+  - Ground responses in factual information
+</Info>
+
+## Supported Knowledge Sources
+
+CrewAI supports various types of knowledge sources out of the box:
+
+<CardGroup cols={2}>
+  <Card title="Text Sources" icon="text">
+    - Raw strings
+    - Text files (.txt)
+    - PDF documents
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Structured Data" icon="table">
+    - CSV files
+    - Excel spreadsheets
+    - JSON documents
+  </Card>
+</CardGroup>
+
+## Supported Knowledge Parameters
+
+| Parameter                    | Type                                | Required | Description                                                                                                                                           |

+
+## 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 MD, PDF, DOCX, HTML, and more. 
+
+<Note>
+  You need to install `docling` for the following example to work: `uv add docling`
+</Note>
+
+
+
+```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."
+    }
+)
+```
+

+# Create crew with JSON knowledge source on agents or crew level
+agent = Agent(
+    ...
+    knowledge_sources=[json_source]
+)
+
+crew = Crew(
+    ...
+    knowledge_sources=[json_source]
+)
+```
+
+## Knowledge Configuration
+
+### Chunking Configuration
+
+Knowledge sources automatically chunk content for better processing. 
+You can configure chunking behavior in your knowledge sources:
+
+```python
+from crewai.knowledge.source.string_knowledge_source import StringKnowledgeSource
+
+source = StringKnowledgeSource(
+    content="Your content here",
+    chunk_size=4000,      # Maximum size of each chunk (default: 4000)
+    chunk_overlap=200     # Overlap between chunks (default: 200)
+)
+```
+
+The chunking configuration helps in:
+- Breaking down large documents into manageable pieces
+- Maintaining context through chunk overlap
+- Optimizing retrieval accuracy
+
+### Embeddings Configuration
+
+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
+- `voyageai`: VoyageAI'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,
+)
+
+# 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,
+)
+
+# 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,
+    embedder={
+        "provider": "google",
+        "config": {
+            "model": "models/text-embedding-004",
+            "api_key": GEMINI_API_KEY,
+        }
+    }
+)
+
+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],
+    embedder={
+        "provider": "google",
+        "config": {
+            "model": "models/text-embedding-004",
+            "api_key": GEMINI_API_KEY,
+        }
+    }
+)
+
+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,
+)
+```

+description: 'A comprehensive guide to configuring and using Large Language Models (LLMs) in your CrewAI projects'
+icon: 'microchip-ai'
+---
+
+<Note>
+  CrewAI integrates with multiple LLM providers through LiteLLM, giving you the flexibility to choose the right model for your specific use case. This guide will help you understand how to configure and use different LLM providers in your CrewAI projects.
+</Note>
+
+## What are LLMs?
+
+Large Language Models (LLMs) are the core intelligence behind CrewAI agents. They enable agents to understand context, make decisions, and generate human-like responses. Here's what you need to know:
+
+<CardGroup cols={2}>
+  <Card title="LLM Basics" icon="brain">
+    Large Language Models are AI systems trained on vast amounts of text data. They power the intelligence of your CrewAI agents, enabling them to understand and generate human-like text.
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Context Window" icon="window">
+    The context window determines how much text an LLM can process at once. Larger windows (e.g., 128K tokens) allow for more context but may be more expensive and slower.
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Temperature" icon="temperature-three-quarters">
+    Temperature (0.0 to 1.0) controls response randomness. Lower values (e.g., 0.2) produce more focused, deterministic outputs, while higher values (e.g., 0.8) increase creativity and variability.
+  </Card>
+  <Card title="Provider Selection" icon="server">
+    Each LLM provider (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) offers different models with varying capabilities, pricing, and features. Choose based on your needs for accuracy, speed, and cost.
+  </Card>
+</CardGroup>
+
+## Setting Up Your LLM
+
+There are three ways to configure LLMs in CrewAI. Choose the method that best fits your workflow:
+
+<Tabs>
+  <Tab title="1. Environment Variables">
+    The simplest way to get started. Set these variables in your environment:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Required: Your API key for authentication
+    OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
+
+    # Optional: Default model selection
+    OPENAI_MODEL_NAME=gpt-4o-mini  # Default if not set
+
+    # Optional: Organization ID (if applicable)
+    OPENAI_ORGANIZATION_ID=<your-org-id>
+    ```
+
+    <Warning>
+      Never commit API keys to version control. Use environment files (.env) or your system's secret management.
+    </Warning>
+  </Tab>
+  <Tab title="2. YAML Configuration">
+    Create a YAML file to define your agent configurations. This method is great for version control and team collaboration:
+
+    ```yaml
+    researcher:
+        role: Research Specialist
+        goal: Conduct comprehensive research and analysis
+        backstory: A dedicated research professional with years of experience
+        verbose: true
+        llm: openai/gpt-4o-mini # your model here 
+        # (see provider configuration examples below for more)
+    ```
+
+    <Info>
+      The YAML configuration allows you to:
+      - Version control your agent settings
+      - Easily switch between different models
+      - Share configurations across team members
+      - Document model choices and their purposes
+    </Info>
+  </Tab>
+  <Tab title="3. Direct Code">
+    For maximum flexibility, configure LLMs directly in your Python code:
+
+    ```python
+    from crewai import LLM
+
+    # Basic configuration
+    llm = LLM(model="gpt-4")
+
+    # Advanced configuration with detailed parameters
+    llm = LLM(
+        model="gpt-4o-mini",
+        temperature=0.7,        # Higher for more creative outputs
+        timeout=120,           # Seconds to wait for response
+        max_tokens=4000,       # Maximum length of response
+        top_p=0.9,            # Nucleus sampling parameter
+        frequency_penalty=0.1, # Reduce repetition
+        presence_penalty=0.1,  # Encourage topic diversity
+        response_format={"type": "json"},  # For structured outputs
+        seed=42               # For reproducible results
+    )
+    ```
+
+    <Info>
+      Parameter explanations:
+      - `temperature`: Controls randomness (0.0-1.0)
+      - `timeout`: Maximum wait time for response
+      - `max_tokens`: Limits response length
+      - `top_p`: Alternative to temperature for sampling
+      - `frequency_penalty`: Reduces word repetition
+      - `presence_penalty`: Encourages new topics
+      - `response_format`: Specifies output structure
+      - `seed`: Ensures consistent outputs
+    </Info>
+  </Tab>
+</Tabs>
+
+## Provider Configuration Examples

+## Structured LLM Calls
+
+CrewAI supports structured responses from LLM calls by allowing you to define a `response_format` using a Pydantic model. This enables the framework to automatically parse and validate the output, making it easier to integrate the response into your application without manual post-processing.
+
+For example, you can define a Pydantic model to represent the expected response structure and pass it as the `response_format` when instantiating the LLM. The model will then be used to convert the LLM output into a structured Python object.
+
+```python Code
+from crewai import LLM
+
+class Dog(BaseModel):
+    name: str
+    age: int
+    breed: str
+
+
+llm = LLM(model="gpt-4o", response_format=Dog)
+
+response = llm.call(
+    "Analyze the following messages and return the name, age, and breed. "
+    "Meet Kona! She is 3 years old and is a black german shepherd."
+)
+print(response)
+
+# Output:
+# Dog(name='Kona', age=3, breed='black german shepherd')
+```

+  <Accordion title="Context Window Management">
+    CrewAI includes smart context management features:
+
+    ```python
+    from crewai import LLM
+
+    # CrewAI automatically handles:
+    # 1. Token counting and tracking
+    # 2. Content summarization when needed
+    # 3. Task splitting for large contexts
+
+    llm = LLM(
+        model="gpt-4",
+        max_tokens=4000,  # Limit response length
+    )
+    ```
+
+    <Info>
+      Best practices for context management:
+      1. Choose models with appropriate context windows
+      2. Pre-process long inputs when possible
+      3. Use chunking for large documents
+      4. Monitor token usage to optimize costs
+    </Info>
+  </Accordion>
+
+  <Accordion title="Performance Optimization">
+    <Steps>
+      <Step title="Token Usage Optimization">
+        Choose the right context window for your task:
+        - Small tasks (up to 4K tokens): Standard models
+        - Medium tasks (between 4K-32K): Enhanced models
+        - Large tasks (over 32K): Large context models
+        
+        ```python
+        # Configure model with appropriate settings
+        llm = LLM(
+            model="openai/gpt-4-turbo-preview",
+            temperature=0.7,    # Adjust based on task
+            max_tokens=4096,    # Set based on output needs
+            timeout=300        # Longer timeout for complex tasks
+        )
+        ```
+        <Tip>
+          - Lower temperature (0.1 to 0.3) for factual responses
+          - Higher temperature (0.7 to 0.9) for creative tasks
+        </Tip>
+      </Step>
+
+      <Step title="Best Practices">
+        1. Monitor token usage
+        2. Implement rate limiting
+        3. Use caching when possible
+        4. Set appropriate max_tokens limits
+      </Step>
+    </Steps>
+
+    <Info>
+      Remember to regularly monitor your token usage and adjust your configuration as needed to optimize costs and performance.
