+- **Autogen**: While Autogen does good 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.
 
 - **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.

-| **Backstory**    | Provides context to the agent's role and goal, enriching the interaction and collaboration dynamics. |
-| **LLM**       | The language model used by the agent to process and generate text. |
-| **Tools**    | Set of capabilities or functions that the agent can use to perform tasks. Tools can be shared or exclusive to specific agents. |
-| **Function Calling LLM** | The language model used by this agent to call functions, if none is passed the same main llm for each agent will be used.      |
-| **Max Iter**    | The maximum number of iterations the agent can perform before forced to give its best answer |
-| **Max RPM**    | The maximum number of requests per minute the agent can perform to avoid rate limits |
-| **Verbose**    | This allow you to actually see what is going on during the Crew execution. |
-| **Allow Delegation**    | Agents can delegate tasks or questions to one another, ensuring that each task is handled by the most suitable agent. |
-| **Step Callback**    | A function that is called after each step of the agent. This can be used to log the agent's actions or to perform other operations. It will overwrite the crew `step_callback` |

+## Enhanced Attributes for Improved Collaboration
+The `Crew` class has been enriched with several attributes to support advanced functionalities:
+
+- **Language Model Management (`manager_llm`, `function_calling_llm`)**: Manages language models for executing tasks and tools, facilitating sophisticated agent-tool interactions. Note that while `manager_llm` is mandatory for hierarchical processes to ensure proper execution flow, `function_calling_llm` is optional, with a default value provided for streamlined tool interaction.
+- **Custom Manager Agent (`manager_agent`)**: Allows specifying a custom agent as the manager instead of using the default manager provided by CrewAI.
+- **Process Flow (`process`)**: Defines the execution logic (e.g., sequential, hierarchical) to streamline task distribution and execution.
+- **Verbose Logging (`verbose`)**: Offers detailed logging capabilities for monitoring and debugging purposes. It supports both integer and boolean types to indicate the verbosity level. For example, setting `verbose` to 1 might enable basic logging, whereas setting it to True enables more detailed logs.
+- **Rate Limiting (`max_rpm`)**: Ensures efficient utilization of resources by limiting requests per minute. Guidelines for setting `max_rpm` should consider the complexity of tasks and the expected load on resources.
+- **Internationalization / Customization Support (`language`, `prompt_file`)**: Facilitates full customization of the inner prompts, enhancing global usability. Supported languages and the process for utilizing the `prompt_file` attribute for customization should be clearly documented. [Example of file](https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewAI/blob/main/src/crewai/translations/en.json)
+- **Execution and Output Handling (`full_output`)**: Distinguishes between full and final outputs for nuanced control over task results. Examples showcasing the difference in outputs can aid in understanding the practical implications of this attribute.
+- **Callback and Telemetry (`step_callback`, `task_callback`)**: Integrates callbacks for step-wise and task-level execution monitoring, alongside telemetry for performance analytics. The purpose and usage of `task_callback` alongside `step_callback` for granular monitoring should be clearly explained.
+- **Crew Sharing (`share_crew`)**: Enables sharing of crew information with CrewAI for continuous improvement and training models. The privacy implications and benefits of this feature, including how it contributes to model improvement, should be outlined.
+- **Usage Metrics (`usage_metrics`)**: Stores all metrics for the language model (LLM) usage during all tasks' execution, providing insights into operational efficiency and areas for improvement. Detailed information on accessing and interpreting these metrics for performance analysis should be provided.
+- **Memory Usage (`memory`)**: Indicates whether the crew should use memory to store memories of its execution, enhancing task execution and agent learning.
+- **Embedder Configuration (`embedder`)**: Specifies the configuration for the embedder to be used by the crew for understanding and generating language. This attribute supports customization of the language model provider.
+- **Cache Management (`cache`)**: Determines whether the crew should use a cache to store the results of tool executions, optimizing performance.
+- **Output Logging (`output_log_file`)**: Specifies the file path for logging the output of the crew execution.

+
+## Introduction to Memory Systems in crewAI
+!!! note "Enhancing Agent Intelligence"
+    The crewAI framework introduces a sophisticated memory system designed to significantly enhance the capabilities of AI agents. This system comprises short-term memory, long-term memory, entity memory, and contextual memory, each serving a unique purpose in aiding agents to remember, reason, and learn from past interactions.
+
+## Memory System Components
+
+| Component            | Description                                                  |
+| :------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Short-Term Memory**| Temporarily stores recent interactions and outcomes, enabling agents to recall and utilize information relevant to their current context during the current executions. |
+| **Long-Term Memory** | Preserves valuable insights and learnings from past executions, allowing agents to build and refine their knowledge over time. So Agents can remember what they did right and wrong across multiple executions |
+| **Entity Memory**    | Captures and organizes information about entities (people, places, concepts) encountered during tasks, facilitating deeper understanding and relationship mapping. |
+| **Contextual Memory**| Maintains the context of interactions by combining `ShortTermMemory`, `LongTermMemory`, and `EntityMemory`, aiding in the coherence and relevance of agent responses over a sequence of tasks or a conversation. |
+
+## How Memory Systems Empower Agents
+
+1. **Contextual Awareness**: With short-term and contextual memory, agents gain the ability to maintain context over a conversation or task sequence, leading to more coherent and relevant responses.
+
+2. **Experience Accumulation**: Long-term memory allows agents to accumulate experiences, learning from past actions to improve future decision-making and problem-solving.
+
+3. **Entity Understanding**: By maintaining entity memory, agents can recognize and remember key entities, enhancing their ability to process and interact with complex information.
+
+## Implementing Memory in Your Crew
+
+When configuring a crew, you can enable and customize each memory component to suit the crew's objectives and the nature of tasks it will perform.
+By default, the memory system is disabled, and you can ensure it is active by setting `memory=True` in the crew configuration. The memory will use OpenAI Embeddings by default, but you can change it by setting `embedder` to a different model.
+
+### Example: Configuring Memory for a Crew
+
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
+
+# Assemble your crew with memory capabilities
+my_crew = Crew(
+    agents=[...],
+    tasks=[...],
+    process=Process.sequential,
+    memory=True,
+    verbose=True
+)
+```
+
+## Additional Embedding Providers
+
+### Using OpenAI embeddings (already default)
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
+
+my_crew = Crew(
+		agents=[...],
+		tasks=[...],
+		process=Process.sequential,
+		memory=True,
+		verbose=True,
+		embedder={
+				"provider": "openai",
+				"config":{
+						"model": 'text-embedding-3-small'
+				}
+		}
+)
+```
+
+### Using Google AI embeddings
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
+
+my_crew = Crew(
+		agents=[...],
+		tasks=[...],
+		process=Process.sequential,
+		memory=True,
+		verbose=True,
+		embedder={
+			"provider": "google",
+			"config":{
+				"model": 'models/embedding-001',
+				"task_type": "retrieval_document",
+				"title": "Embeddings for Embedchain"
+			}
+		}
+)
+```
+
+### Using Azure OpenAI embeddings
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
+
+my_crew = Crew(
+		agents=[...],
+		tasks=[...],
+		process=Process.sequential,
+		memory=True,
+		verbose=True,
+		embedder={
+			"provider": "azure_openai",
+			"config":{
+				"model": 'text-embedding-ada-002',
+				"deployment_name": "you_embedding_model_deployment_name"
+			}
+		}
+)
+```
+
+### Using GPT4ALL embeddings
+```python
+from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
+
+my_crew = Crew(
+		agents=[...],
+		tasks=[...],
+		process=Process.sequential,
+		memory=True,
+		verbose=True,
+		embedder={
+			"provider": "gpt4all"
+		}
+)
+```
+
+### Using Vertex AI embeddings

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

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

 ## Creating a Task
 
-This is the simpliest example for creating a task, it involves defining its scope and agent, but there are optional attributes that can provide a lot of flexibility:
+Creating a task involves defining its scope, responsible agent, and any additional attributes for flexibility:
 
 ```python
 from crewai import Task
 
 task = Task(
-	description='Find and summarize the latest and most relevant news on AI',
-	agent=sales_agent
+    description='Find and summarize the latest and most relevant news on AI',
+    agent=sales_agent
 )
 ```
+
 !!! note "Task Assignment"
-	Tasks can be assigned directly by specifying an `agent` to them, or they can be assigned in run time if you are using the `hierarchical` through CrewAI's process, considering roles, availability, or other criteria.
+    Directly specify an `agent` for assignment or let the `hierarchical` CrewAI's process decide based on roles, availability, etc.

+
+- Ensuring only one output type is set per task to maintain clear output expectations.
+- Preventing the manual assignment of the `id` attribute to uphold the integrity of the unique identifier system.
+
+These validations help in maintaining the consistency and reliability of task executions within the crewAI framework.
+
+## Creating Directories when Saving Files

 ## Creating your own Tools
+
 !!! example "Custom Tool Creation"
-    Developers can craft custom tools tailored for their agent’s needs or utilize pre-built options. Here’s how to create one:
+    Developers can craft custom tools tailored for their agent’s needs or utilize pre-built options:
 
-```python
-import json
-import requests
-from crewai import Agent
-from langchain.tools import tool
-from unstructured.partition.html import partition_html
+To create your own crewAI tools you will need to install our extra tools package:
 
-class BrowserTools():
-
-	# Anotate the fuction with the tool decorator from LangChain
-	@tool("Scrape website content")
-	def scrape_website(website):
-		# Write logic for the tool.
-		# In this case a function to scrape website content
-		url = f"https://chrome.browserless.io/content?token={config('BROWSERLESS_API_KEY')}"
-		payload = json.dumps({"url": website})
-		headers = {'cache-control': 'no-cache', 'content-type': 'application/json'}
-		response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
-		elements = partition_html(text=response.text)
-		content = "\n\n".join([str(el) for el in elements])
-		return content[:5000]
-
-# Assign the scraping tool to an agent
-agent = Agent(
-	role='Research Analyst',
-	goal='Provide up-to-date market analysis',
-	backstory='An expert analyst with a keen eye for market trends.',
-	tools=[BrowserTools().scrape_website]
-)
+```bash
+pip install 'crewai[tools]'
 ```
 
-## Using LangChain Tools
-!!! info "LangChain Integration"
-    CrewAI seamlessly integrates with LangChain’s comprehensive toolkit. Assigning an existing tool to an agent is straightforward:
+Once you do that there are two main ways for one to create a crewAI tool:
+### Subclassing `BaseTool`
 
 ```python
-from crewai import Agent
-from langchain.agents import Tool
-from langchain.utilities import GoogleSerperAPIWrapper
-import os
+from crewai_tools import BaseTool
 
-# Setup API keys
-os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
-os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Key"
+class MyCustomTool(BaseTool):
+    name: str = "Name of my tool"
+    description: str = "Clear description for what this tool is useful for, your agent will need this information to use it."
 
-search = GoogleSerperAPIWrapper()
-
-# Create and assign the search tool to an agent
-serper_tool = Tool(
-  name="Intermediate Answer",
-  func=search.run,
-  description="Useful for search-based queries",
-)
-
-agent = Agent(
-  role='Research Analyst',
-  goal='Provide up-to-date market analysis',
-  backstory='An expert analyst with a keen eye for market trends.',
-  tools=[serper_tool]
-)
+    def _run(self, argument: str) -> str:
+        # Implementation goes here
+        return "Result from custom tool"
 ```
 
+### Utilizing the `tool` Decorator
+
+```python
+from crewai_tools import tool
+@tool("Name of my tool")
+def my_tool(question: str) -> str:
+    """Clear description for what this tool is useful for, your agent will need this information to use it."""
+    # Function logic here
+    return "Result from your custom tool"
+```
+
+### Custom Caching Mechanism
+!!! note "Caching"
+    Tools can optionally implement a `cache_function` to fine-tune caching behavior. This function determines when to cache results based on specific conditions, offering granular control over caching logic.
+
+```python
+from crewai_tools import tool
+
+@tool
+def multiplication_tool(first_number: int, second_number: int) -> str:
+    """Useful for when you need to multiply two numbers together."""
+    return first_number * second_number
+
+def cache_func(args, result):
+    # In this case, we only cache the result if it's a multiple of 2
+    cache = result % 2 == 0
+    return cache
+
+multiplication_tool.cache_function = cache_func
+
+writer1 = Agent(
+        role="Writer",
+        goal="You write lessons of math for kids.",
+        backstory="You're an expert in writing and you love to teach kids but you know nothing of math.",
+        tools=[multiplication_tool],
+        allow_delegation=False,
+    )
+    #...
+```
+
+

+description: Learn how to train your crewAI agents by giving them feedback early on and get consistent results.
+---
+
+## Introduction
+The training feature in CrewAI allows you to train your AI agents using the command-line interface (CLI). By running the command `crewai train -n <n_iterations>`, you can specify the number of iterations for the training process.
+
+During training, CrewAI utilizes techniques to optimize the performance of your agents along with human feedback. This helps the agents improve their understanding, decision-making, and problem-solving abilities.
+
+### Training Your Crew Using the CLI
+To use the training 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:
+
+```shell
+crewai train -n <n_iterations>
+```
+
+### Training Your Crew Programmatically
+To train your crew programmatically, use the following steps:
+
+1. Define the number of iterations for training.
+2. Specify the input parameters for the training process.
+3. Execute the training command within a try-except block to handle potential errors.
+
+```python
+    n_iterations = 2
+    inputs = {"topic": "CrewAI Training"}
+
+    try:
+        YourCrewName_Crew().crew().train(n_iterations= n_iterations, inputs=inputs)
+
+    except Exception as e:
+        raise Exception(f"An error occurred while training the crew: {e}")
+```
+
+!!! note "Replace `<n_iterations>` with the desired number of training iterations. This determines how many times the agents will go through the training process."
+
+
+### Key Points to Note:
+- **Positive Integer Requirement:** Ensure that the number of iterations (`n_iterations`) is a positive integer. The code will raise a `ValueError` if this condition is not met.
+- **Error Handling:** The code handles subprocess errors and unexpected exceptions, providing error messages to the user.
+
+It is important to note that the training process may take some time, depending on the complexity of your agents and will also require your feedback on each iteration.
+
+Once the training is complete, your agents will be equipped with enhanced capabilities and knowledge, ready to tackle complex tasks and provide more consistent and valuable insights.
+
+Remember to regularly update and retrain your agents to ensure they stay up-to-date with the latest information and advancements in the field.
+
+Happy training with CrewAI!

+title: Coding Agents
+description: Learn how to enable your crewAI Agents to write and execute code, and explore advanced features for enhanced functionality.
+---
+
+## Introduction
+
+crewAI Agents now have the powerful ability to write and execute code, significantly enhancing their problem-solving capabilities. This feature is particularly useful for tasks that require computational or programmatic solutions.
+
+## Enabling Code Execution
+
+To enable code execution for an agent, set the `allow_code_execution` parameter to `True` when creating the agent. Here's an example:
+
+```python
+from crewai import Agent
+
+coding_agent = Agent(
+    role="Senior Python Developer",
+    goal="Craft well-designed and thought-out code",
+    backstory="You are a senior Python developer with extensive experience in software architecture and best practices.",
+    allow_code_execution=True
+)
+```
+
+## Important Considerations
+
+1. **Model Selection**: It is strongly recommended to use more capable models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4 when enabling code execution. These models have a better understanding of programming concepts and are more likely to generate correct and efficient code.
+
+2. **Error Handling**: The code execution feature includes error handling. If executed code raises an exception, the agent will receive the error message and can attempt to correct the code or provide alternative solutions.
+
+3. **Dependencies**: To use the code execution feature, you need to install the `crewai_tools` package. If not installed, the agent will log an info message: "Coding tools not available. Install crewai_tools."
+
+## Code Execution Process
+
+When an agent with code execution enabled encounters a task requiring programming:
+
+1. The agent analyzes the task and determines that code execution is necessary.
+2. It formulates the Python code needed to solve the problem.
+3. The code is sent to the internal code execution tool (`CodeInterpreterTool`).
+4. The tool executes the code in a controlled environment and returns the result.
+5. The agent interprets the result and incorporates it into its response or uses it for further problem-solving.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+Here's a detailed example of creating an agent with code execution capabilities and using it in a task:
+
+```python
+from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
+
+# Create an agent with code execution enabled
+coding_agent = Agent(
+    role="Python Data Analyst",
+    goal="Analyze data and provide insights using Python",
+    backstory="You are an experienced data analyst with strong Python skills.",
+    allow_code_execution=True
+)
+
+# Create a task that requires code execution
+data_analysis_task = Task(
+    description="Analyze the given dataset and calculate the average age of participants.",
+    agent=coding_agent
+)
+
+# Create a crew and add the task
+analysis_crew = Crew(
+    agents=[coding_agent],
+    tasks=[data_analysis_task]
+)
+
+# Execute the crew
+result = analysis_crew.kickoff()
+
+print(result)
+```
+
+In this example, the `coding_agent` can write and execute Python code to perform data analysis tasks.

+---
+
+## Creating and Utilizing Tools in crewAI
+This guide provides detailed instructions on creating custom tools for the crewAI framework and how to efficiently manage and utilize these tools, incorporating the latest functionalities such as tool delegation, error handling, and dynamic tool calling. It also highlights the importance of collaboration tools, enabling agents to perform a wide range of actions.
+
+### Prerequisites
+Before creating your own tools, ensure you have the crewAI extra tools package installed:
+
+```bash
+pip install 'crewai[tools]'
+```
+
+### Subclassing `BaseTool`
+
+To create a personalized tool, inherit from `BaseTool` and define the necessary attributes and the `_run` method.
+
+```python
+from crewai_tools import BaseTool
+
+class MyCustomTool(BaseTool):
+    name: str = "Name of my tool"
+    description: str = "What this tool does. It's vital for effective utilization."
+
+    def _run(self, argument: str) -> str:
+        # Your tool's logic here
+        return "Tool's result"
+```
+
+### Using the `tool` Decorator
+
+Alternatively, use the `tool` decorator for a direct approach to create tools. This requires specifying attributes and the tool's logic within a function.
+
+```python
+from crewai_tools import tool
+
+@tool("Tool Name")
+def my_simple_tool(question: str) -> str:
+    """Tool description for clarity."""
+    # Tool logic here
+    return "Tool output"
+```
+
+### Defining a Cache Function for the Tool
+
+To optimize tool performance with caching, define custom caching strategies using the `cache_function` attribute.
+
+```python
+@tool("Tool with Caching")
+def cached_tool(argument: str) -> str:
+    """Tool functionality description."""
+    return "Cacheable result"
+
+def my_cache_strategy(arguments: dict, result: str) -> bool:
+    # Define custom caching logic
+    return True if some_condition else False
+
+cached_tool.cache_function = my_cache_strategy
+```
+
+By adhering to these guidelines and incorporating new functionalities and collaboration tools into your tool creation and management processes, you can leverage the full capabilities of the crewAI framework, enhancing both the development experience and the efficiency of your AI agents.

 ## Introduction
-The hierarchical process in CrewAI introduces a structured approach to task management, mimicking traditional organizational hierarchies for efficient task delegation and execution.
+The hierarchical process in CrewAI introduces a structured approach to task management, simulating traditional organizational hierarchies for efficient task delegation and execution. This systematic workflow enhances project outcomes by ensuring tasks are handled with optimal efficiency and accuracy.
 
-!!! note "Complexity"
-	The current implementation of the hierarchical process relies on tools usage that usually require more complex models like GPT-4 and usually imply of a higher token usage.
+!!! note "Complexity and Efficiency"
+    The hierarchical process is designed to leverage advanced models like GPT-4, optimizing token usage while handling complex tasks with greater efficiency.
 
 ## Hierarchical Process Overview
-In this process, tasks are assigned and executed based on a defined hierarchy, where a 'manager' agent coordinates the workflow, delegating tasks to other agents and validating their outcomes before proceeding.
+By default, tasks in CrewAI are managed through a sequential process. However, adopting a hierarchical approach allows for a clear hierarchy in task management, where a 'manager' agent coordinates the workflow, delegates tasks, and validates outcomes for streamlined and effective execution. This manager agent can now be either automatically created by CrewAI or explicitly set by the user.
 
 ### Key Features
-- **Task Delegation**: A manager agent oversees task distribution among crew members.
-- **Result Validation**: The manager reviews outcomes before passing tasks along, ensuring quality and relevance.
-- **Efficient Workflow**: Mimics corporate structures for a familiar and organized task management approach.
+- **Task Delegation**: A manager agent allocates tasks among crew members based on their roles and capabilities.
+- **Result Validation**: The manager evaluates outcomes to ensure they meet the required standards.
+- **Efficient Workflow**: Emulates corporate structures, providing an organized approach to task management.
 
 ## Implementing the Hierarchical Process
-To utilize the hierarchical process, you must define a crew with a designated manager and a clear chain of command for task execution.
+To utilize the hierarchical process, it's essential to explicitly set the process attribute to `Process.hierarchical`, as the default behavior is `Process.sequential`. Define a crew with a designated manager and establish a clear chain of command.
 
-!!! note "Tools on the hierarchical process"
-	For tools when using the hierarchical process, you want to make sure to assign them to the agents instead of the tasks, as the manager will be the one delegating the tasks and the agents will be the ones executing them.
+!!! note "Tools and Agent Assignment"
+    Assign tools at the agent level to facilitate task delegation and execution by the designated agents under the manager's guidance. Tools can also be specified at the task level for precise control over tool availability during task execution.
 
-!!! note "Manager LLM"
-	A manager will be automatically set for the crew, you don't need to define it. You do need to set the `manager_llm` parameter in the crew though.
+!!! note "Manager LLM Requirement"
+    Configuring the `manager_llm` parameter is crucial for the hierarchical process. The system requires a manager LLM to be set up for proper function, ensuring tailored decision-making.
 
 ```python
 from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
 from crewai import Crew, Process, Agent
 
-# Define your agents, no need to define a manager
+# Agents are defined with attributes for backstory, cache, and verbose mode
 researcher = Agent(
-	role='Researcher',
-	goal='Conduct in-depth analysis',
-	# tools = [...]
+    role='Researcher',
+    goal='Conduct in-depth analysis',
+    backstory='Experienced data analyst with a knack for uncovering hidden trends.',
+    cache=True,
+    verbose=False,

+    backstory='Creative writer passionate about storytelling in technical domains.',
+    cache=True,
+    verbose=False,
+    # tools=[]  # Optionally specify tools; defaults to an empty list
 )
 
-# Form the crew with a hierarchical process
+# Establishing the crew with a hierarchical process and additional configurations
 project_crew = Crew(
-	tasks=[...], # Tasks that that manager will figure out how to complete
-	agents=[researcher, writer],
-	manager_llm=ChatOpenAI(temperature=0, model="gpt-4"), # The manager's LLM that will be used internally
-	process=Process.hierarchical  # Designating the hierarchical approach
+    tasks=[...],  # Tasks to be delegated and executed under the manager's supervision
+    agents=[researcher, writer],
+    manager_llm=ChatOpenAI(temperature=0, model="gpt-4"),  # Mandatory if manager_agent is not set

-Human inputs is important in many agent execution use cases, humans are AGI so they can can be prompted to step in and provide extra details ins necessary.
-Using it with crewAI is pretty straightforward and you can do it through a LangChain Tool.
-Check [LangChain Integration](https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/tools/human_tools) for more details:
+# Human Input in Agent Execution
 
-Example:
+Human input is critical in several agent execution scenarios, allowing agents to request additional information or clarification when necessary. This feature is especially useful in complex decision-making processes or when agents require more details to complete a task effectively.
+
+## Using Human Input with CrewAI
+
+To integrate human input into agent execution, set the `human_input` flag in the task definition. When enabled, the agent prompts the user for input before delivering its final answer. This input can provide extra context, clarify ambiguities, or validate the agent's output.
+

+## Using Langtrace with CrewAI
+
+To integrate Langtrace with your CrewAI project, follow these steps:
+
+1. Import and initialize Langtrace at the beginning of your script, before any CrewAI imports:
+
+```python
+from langtrace_python_sdk import langtrace
+langtrace.init(api_key='<LANGTRACE_API_KEY>')
+
+# Now import CrewAI modules
+from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
+```
+
+2. Create your CrewAI agents and tasks as usual.
+
+3. Use Langtrace's tracking functions to monitor your CrewAI operations. For example:
+
+```python
+with langtrace.trace("CrewAI Task Execution"):
+    result = crew.kickoff()
+```
+
+### Features and Their Application to CrewAI
+
+1. **LLM Token and Cost Tracking**
+   - Monitor the token usage and associated costs for each CrewAI agent interaction.
+   - Example:
+     ```python
+     with langtrace.trace("Agent Interaction"):
+         agent_response = agent.execute(task)
+     ```
+
+2. **Trace Graph for Execution Steps**
+   - Visualize the execution flow of your CrewAI tasks, including latency and logs.
+   - Useful for identifying bottlenecks in your agent workflows.
+
+3. **Dataset Curation with Manual Annotation**
+   - Create datasets from your CrewAI task outputs for future training or evaluation.
+   - Example:
+     ```python
+     langtrace.log_dataset_item(task_input, agent_output, {"task_type": "research"})
+     ```
+
+4. **Prompt Versioning and Management**
+   - Keep track of different versions of prompts used in your CrewAI agents.
+   - Useful for A/B testing and optimizing agent performance.
+
+5. **Prompt Playground with Model Comparisons**
+   - Test and compare different prompts and models for your CrewAI agents before deployment.
+
+6. **Testing and Evaluations**
+   - Set up automated tests for your CrewAI agents and tasks.
+   - Example:
+     ```python
+     langtrace.evaluate(agent_output, expected_output, "accuracy")
+     ```
+
+## Monitoring New CrewAI Features
+
+CrewAI has introduced several new features that can be monitored using Langtrace:
+
+1. **Code Execution**: Monitor the performance and output of code executed by agents.
+   ```python
+   with langtrace.trace("Agent Code Execution"):
+       code_output = agent.execute_code(code_snippet)
+   ```
+
+2. **Third-party Agent Integration**: Track interactions with LlamaIndex, LangChain, and Autogen agents.

 ### Workflow in Action
-1. **Initial Task**: The first agent completes their task and signals completion.
-2. **Subsequent Tasks**: Following agents pick up their tasks in the order defined, using the outcomes of preceding tasks as inputs.
-3. **Completion**: The process concludes once the final task is executed, culminating in the project's completion.
+1. **Initial Task**: In a sequential process, the first agent completes their task and signals completion.
+2. **Subsequent Tasks**: Agents pick up their tasks based on the process type, with outcomes of preceding tasks or manager directives guiding their execution.
+3. **Completion**: The process concludes once the final task is executed, leading to project completion.
 
-## Conclusion
-The sequential process in CrewAI provides a clear, straightforward path for task execution. It's particularly suited for projects requiring a logical progression of tasks, ensuring each step is completed before the next begins, thereby facilitating a cohesive final product.
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Task Delegation
+In sequential processes, if an agent has `allow_delegation` set to `True`, they can delegate tasks to other agents in the crew. This feature is automatically set up when there are multiple agents in the crew.
+
+### Asynchronous Execution
+Tasks can be executed asynchronously, allowing for parallel processing when appropriate. To create an asynchronous task, set `async_execution=True` when defining the task.
+
+### Memory and Caching
+CrewAI supports both memory and caching features:
+- **Memory**: Enable by setting `memory=True` when creating the Crew. This allows agents to retain information across tasks.
+- **Caching**: By default, caching is enabled. Set `cache=False` to disable it.
+
+### Callbacks
+You can set callbacks at both the task and step level:
+- `task_callback`: Executed after each task completion.
+- `step_callback`: Executed after each step in an agent's execution.
+
+### Usage Metrics
+CrewAI tracks token usage across all tasks and agents. You can access these metrics after execution.
+
+## Best Practices for Sequential Processes
+1. **Order Matters**: Arrange tasks in a logical sequence where each task builds upon the previous one.
+2. **Clear Task Descriptions**: Provide detailed descriptions for each task to guide the agents effectively.
+3. **Appropriate Agent Selection**: Match agents' skills and roles to the requirements of each task.
+4. **Use Context**: Leverage the context from previous tasks to inform subsequent ones

+title: Starting a New CrewAI Project
+description: A comprehensive guide to starting a new CrewAI project, including the latest updates and project setup methods.
+---
+
+# Starting Your CrewAI Project
+
+Welcome to the ultimate guide for starting a new CrewAI project. This document will walk you through the steps to create, customize, and run your CrewAI project, ensuring you have everything you need to get started.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+We assume you have already installed CrewAI. If not, please refer to the [installation guide](how-to/Installing-CrewAI.md) to install CrewAI and its dependencies.
+
+## Creating a New Project
+
+To create a new project, run the following CLI command:
+
+```shell
+$ crewai create my_project
+```
+
+This command will create a new project folder with the following structure:
+
+```shell
+my_project/
+├── .gitignore
+├── pyproject.toml
+├── README.md
+└── 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 project by editing the files in the `src/my_project` folder. The `main.py` file is the entry point of your project, and the `crew.py` file is where you define your agents and tasks.
+
+## Customizing Your Project
+
+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: Defining Agents and Tasks
+
+#### agents.yaml
+
+```yaml
+researcher:
+  role: >
+    Job Candidate Researcher
+  goal: >
+    Find potential candidates for the job
+  backstory: >
+    You are adept at finding the right candidates by exploring various online
+    resources. Your skill in identifying suitable candidates ensures the best
+    match for job positions.
+```
+
+#### tasks.yaml
+
+```yaml
+research_candidates_task:
+  description: >
+    Conduct thorough research to find potential candidates for the specified job.
+    Utilize various online resources and databases to gather a comprehensive list of potential candidates.
+    Ensure that the candidates meet the job requirements provided.
+
+    Job Requirements:
+    {job_requirements}
+  expected_output: >
+    A list of 10 potential candidates with their contact information and brief profiles highlighting their suitability.
+```
+
+## Installing Dependencies
+
+To install the dependencies for your project, you can use Poetry. First, navigate to your project directory:
+
+```shell
+$ cd my_project
+$ poetry lock
+$ poetry install
+```
+
+This will install the dependencies specified in the `pyproject.toml` file.
+
+## Interpolating Variables
+
+Any variable interpolated in your `agents.yaml` and `tasks.yaml` files like `{variable}` will be replaced by the value of the variable in the `main.py` file.
+
+#### agents.yaml
+
+```yaml
+research_task:
+  description: >
+    Conduct a thorough research about the customer and competitors in the context
+    of {customer_domain}.
+    Make sure you find any interesting and relevant information given the
+    current year is 2024.
+  expected_output: >
+    A complete report on the customer and their customers and competitors,
+    including their demographics, preferences, market positioning and audience engagement.
+```
+
+#### main.py
+
+```python
+# main.py
+def run():
+    inputs = {
+        "customer_domain": "crewai.com"
+    }
+    MyProjectCrew(inputs).crew().kickoff(inputs=inputs)
+```
+
+## Running Your Project
+
+To run your project, use the following command:
+
+```shell
+$ poetry run my_project
+```
+
+This will initialize your crew of AI agents and begin task execution as defined in your configuration in the `main.py` file.
+
+## Deploying Your Project
+
+The easiest way to deploy your crew is through [CrewAI+](https://www.crewai.com/crewaiplus), where you can deploy your crew in a few clicks.

+title: Setting a Specific Agent as Manager in CrewAI
+description: Learn how to set a custom agent as the manager in CrewAI, providing more control over task management and coordination.
+
+---
+
+# Setting a Specific Agent as Manager in CrewAI
+
+CrewAI allows users to set a specific agent as the manager of the crew, providing more control over the management and coordination of tasks. This feature enables the customization of the managerial role to better fit your project's requirements.
+
+## Using the `manager_agent` Attribute
+
+### Custom Manager Agent
+
+The `manager_agent` attribute allows you to define a custom agent to manage the crew. This agent will oversee the entire process, ensuring that tasks are completed efficiently and to the highest standard.
+
+### Example
+
+```python
+import os
+from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, Process
+
+# Define your agents
+researcher = Agent(
+    role="Researcher",
+    goal="Conduct thorough research and analysis on AI and AI agents",
+    backstory="You're an expert researcher, specialized in technology, software engineering, AI, and startups. You work as a freelancer and are currently researching for a new client.",
+    allow_delegation=False,
+)
+
+writer = Agent(
+    role="Senior Writer",
+    goal="Create compelling content about AI and AI agents",
+    backstory="You're a senior writer, specialized in technology, software engineering, AI, and startups. You work as a freelancer and are currently writing content for a new client.",
+    allow_delegation=False,
+)
+
+# Define your task
+task = Task(
+    description="Generate a list of 5 interesting ideas for an article, then write one captivating paragraph for each idea that showcases the potential of a full article on this topic. Return the list of ideas with their paragraphs and your notes.",
+    expected_output="5 bullet points, each with a paragraph and accompanying notes.",
+)
+
+# Define the manager agent
+manager = Agent(
+    role="Project Manager",
+    goal="Efficiently manage the crew and ensure high-quality task completion",
+    backstory="You're an experienced project manager, skilled in overseeing complex projects and guiding teams to success. Your role is to coordinate the efforts of the crew members, ensuring that each task is completed on time and to the highest standard.",
+    allow_delegation=True,
+)
+
+# Instantiate your crew with a custom manager
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=[researcher, writer],
+    tasks=[task],
+    manager_agent=manager,
+    process=Process.hierarchical,
+)
+
+# Start the crew's work
+result = crew.kickoff()
+```
+
+## Benefits of a Custom Manager Agent
+
+- **Enhanced Control**: Tailor the management approach to fit the specific needs of your project.
+- **Improved Coordination**: Ensure efficient task coordination and management by an experienced agent.
+- **Customizable Management**: Define managerial roles and responsibilities that align with your project's goals.
+
+## Setting a Manager LLM
+
+If you're using the hierarchical process and don't want to set a custom manager agent, you can specify the language model for the manager:
+
+```python
+from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
+
+manager_llm = ChatOpenAI(model_name="gpt-4")
+
+crew = Crew(
+    agents=[researcher, writer],
+    tasks=[task],
+    process=Process.hierarchical,
+    manager_llm=manager_llm
+)
+```
+
+Note: Either `manager_agent` or `manager_llm` must be set when using the hierarchical process.

+# CSVSearchTool
+
+!!! note "Experimental"
+    We are still working on improving tools, so there might be unexpected behavior or changes in the future.
+
+## Description
+
+This tool is used to perform a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) search within a CSV file's content. It allows users to semantically search for queries in the content of a specified CSV file. This feature is particularly useful for extracting information from large CSV datasets where traditional search methods might be inefficient. All tools with "Search" in their name, including CSVSearchTool, are RAG tools designed for searching different sources of data.
+
+## Installation
+
+Install the crewai_tools package
+
+```shell
+pip install 'crewai[tools]'
+```
+
+## Example
+
+```python
+from crewai_tools import CSVSearchTool
+
+# Initialize the tool with a specific CSV file. This setup allows the agent to only search the given CSV file.
+tool = CSVSearchTool(csv='path/to/your/csvfile.csv')
+
+# OR
+
+# Initialize the tool without a specific CSV file. Agent  will need to provide the CSV path at runtime.
+tool = CSVSearchTool()
+```
+
+## Arguments
+
+- `csv` : The path to the CSV file you want to search. This is a mandatory argument if the tool was initialized without a specific CSV file; otherwise, it is optional.
+
+## Custom model and embeddings
+
+By default, the tool uses OpenAI for both embeddings and summarization. To customize the model, you can use a config dictionary as follows:
+
+```python
+tool = CSVSearchTool(
+    config=dict(
+        llm=dict(

+This tool is used to give the Agent the ability to run code (Python3) from the code generated by the Agent itself. The code is executed in a sandboxed environment, so it is safe to run any code.
+
+It is incredible useful since it allows the Agent to generate code, run it in the same environment, get the result and use it to make decisions.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Docker
+
+## Installation
+Install the crewai_tools package
+```shell
+pip install 'crewai[tools]'
+```
+
+## Example
+
+Remember that when using this tool, the code must be generated by the Agent itself. The code must be a Python3 code. And it will take some time for the first time to run because it needs to build the Docker image.

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