 ### 1. Installation
 
+Ensure you have Python >=3.10 <=3.13 installed on your system. CrewAI 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
+```
+
+Then, 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: pip install 'crewai[tools]'. This command installs the basic package and also adds extra components which require more dependencies to function."
+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:
 
 ```shell
 pip install 'crewai[tools]'
 ```
+The command above installs the basic package and also adds extra components which require more dependencies to function.
 
-### 2. Setting Up Your Crew
+### 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>
+```
+
+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:
+
+Instatiate your crew:
+
+```shell
+crewai create crew latest-ai-development
+```
+
+Modify the files as needed to fit your use case:

+### 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
+```
+
+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
+```
+
+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/).

-## Creating a Crew
-
-When assembling a crew, you combine agents with complementary roles and tools, assign tasks, and select a process that dictates their execution order and interaction.
-
-### Example: Assembling a Crew
-
-```python
-from crewai import Crew, Agent, Task, Process
-from langchain_community.tools import DuckDuckGoSearchRun
-from crewai_tools import tool
-
-@tool('DuckDuckGoSearch')
-def search(search_query: str):
-    """Search the web for information on a given topic"""
-    return DuckDuckGoSearchRun().run(search_query)
-
-# Define agents with specific roles and tools
-researcher = Agent(
-    role='Senior Research Analyst',
-    goal='Discover innovative AI technologies',
-    backstory="""You're a senior research analyst at a large company.
-        You're responsible for analyzing data and providing insights
-        to the business.
-        You're currently working on a project to analyze the
-        trends and innovations in the space of artificial intelligence.""",
-    tools=[search]
-)
-
-writer = Agent(
-    role='Content Writer',
-    goal='Write engaging articles on AI discoveries',
-    backstory="""You're a senior writer at a large company.
-        You're responsible for creating content to the business.
-        You're currently working on a project to write about trends
-        and innovations in the space of AI for your next meeting.""",
-    verbose=True
-)
-
-# Create tasks for the agents
-research_task = Task(
-    description='Identify breakthrough AI technologies',

+# CrewAI Flows
+
+## 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
+import asyncio
+
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
+from litellm import completion
+
+
+class ExampleFlow(Flow):
+    model = "gpt-4o-mini"
+
+    @start()
+    def generate_city(self):
+        print("Starting flow")
+
+        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"]
+        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"]
+        return fun_fact
+
+
+async def main():
+    flow = ExampleFlow()
+    result = await flow.kickoff()
+
+    print(f"Generated fun fact: {result}")
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+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.
+
+When you run the Flow, it will generate a random city and then generate a fun fact about that city. The output will be printed to the console.
+
+### @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
+   @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
+   @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:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+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}"
+
+async def main():
+    flow = OutputExampleFlow()
+    final_output = await flow.kickoff()
+    print("---- Final Output ----")
+    print(final_output)
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+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 this final output, which is then printed to the console.
+
+The output of the Flow will be:
+
+```
+---- Final Output ----
+Second method received: Output from first_method
+```
+
+#### 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:
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+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
+
+async def main():
+    flow = StateExampleFlow()
+    final_output = await flow.kickoff()
+    print(f"Final Output: {final_output}")
+    print("Final State:")
+    print(flow.state)
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+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.
+
+The output of the Flow will be:
+
+```
+Final Output: Hello from first_method - updated by second_method
+Final State:
+counter=2 message='Hello from first_method - updated by second_method'
+```
+
+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.
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
+
+class UntructuredExampleFlow(Flow):
+
+    @start()
+    def first_method(self):
+        self.state.message = "Hello from structured flow"
+        self.state.counter = 0
+
+    @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}")
+
+
+async def main():
+    flow = UntructuredExampleFlow()
+    await flow.kickoff()
+
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+**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.
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+
+from crewai.flow.flow import Flow, listen, start
+from pydantic import BaseModel
+
+
+class ExampleState(BaseModel):
+    counter: int = 0
+    message: str = ""
+
+
+class StructuredExampleFlow(Flow[ExampleState]):
+
+    @start()
+    def first_method(self):
+        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}")
+
+
+async def main():
+    flow = StructuredExampleFlow()
+    await flow.kickoff()
+
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+**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 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.
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+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}")
+
+
+async def main():
+    flow = OrExampleFlow()
+    await flow.kickoff()
+
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+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 to listen to multiple methods and trigger the listener method when any of the specified methods emit an output.
+
+The output of the Flow will be:
+
+```
+Logger: Hello from the start method
+Logger: Hello from the second method
+```
+
+#### 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.
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+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)
+
+
+async def main():
+    flow = AndExampleFlow()
+    await flow.kickoff()
+
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+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.
+
+The output of the Flow will be:
+
+```
+---- Logger ----
+{'greeting': 'Hello from the start method', 'joke': 'What do computers eat? Microchips.'}
+```
+
+### 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.
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+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")
+
+
+async def main():
+    flow = RouterFlow()
+    await flow.kickoff()
+
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+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`, but you should see an output similar to the following:
+
+```
+Starting the structured flow
+Third method running
+```
+
+## 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:
+
+```
+name_of_flow/
+├── crews/
+│   └── poem_crew/
+│       ├── config/
+│       │   ├── agents.yaml
+│       │   └── tasks.yaml
+│       ├── poem_crew.py
+├── tools/
+│   └── custom_tool.py
+├── main.py
+├── README.md
+├── pyproject.toml
+└── .gitignore
+```
+
+### 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
+#!/usr/bin/env python
+import asyncio
+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")
+        # Generate a number between 1 and 5
+        self.state.sentence_count = randint(1, 5)
+
+    @listen(generate_sentence_count)
+    def generate_poem(self):
+        print("Generating poem")
+        poem_crew = PoemCrew().crew()
+        result = poem_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)
+
+async def run():
+    """
+    Run the flow.
+    """
+    poem_flow = PoemFlow()
+    await poem_flow.kickoff()
+
+def main():
+    asyncio.run(run())
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    main()
+```
+
+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
+
+Before running the flow, make sure to install the dependencies by running:
+
+```bash
+poetry install
+```
+
+Once all of the dependencies are installed, you need to activate the virtual environment by running:
+
+```bash
+poetry shell
+```
+
+After activating the virtual environment, you can run the flow by executing one of the following commands:
+
+```bash
+crewai flow run
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+poetry run run_flow
+```
+
+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
+# 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.

+- [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
+
+## Key Concepts
+- **LLM**: Large Language Model, the AI powering agent intelligence
+- **Agent**: A crewAI entity that uses an LLM to perform tasks
+- **Provider**: A service that offers LLM capabilities (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, [more providers](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers))
+
+## Configuring LLMs for Agents
+
+crewAI offers flexible options for setting up LLMs:
+
+### 1. Default Configuration
+By default, crewAI uses the `gpt-4o-mini` model. It uses environment variables if no LLM is specified:
+- `OPENAI_MODEL_NAME` (defaults to "gpt-4o-mini" if not set)
+- `OPENAI_API_BASE`
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY`
+
+### 2. String Identifier
+```python
+agent = Agent(llm="gpt-4o", ...)
+```
+
+### 3. LLM Instance
+List of [more providers](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers).
+```python
+from crewai import LLM
+
+llm = LLM(model="gpt-4", temperature=0.7)
+agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...)
+```
+
+### 4. Custom LLM Objects
+Pass a custom LLM implementation or object from another library.
+
+## Connecting to OpenAI-Compatible LLMs
+
+You can connect to OpenAI-compatible LLMs using either environment variables or by setting specific attributes on the LLM class:
+
+1. Using environment variables:
+```python
+import os
+
+os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "your-api-key"
+os.environ["OPENAI_API_BASE"] = "https://api.your-provider.com/v1"
+```
+
+2. Using LLM class attributes:
+```python
+llm = LLM(
+    model="custom-model-name",
+    api_key="your-api-key",
+    base_url="https://api.your-provider.com/v1"
+)
+agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...)
+```
+
+## LLM Configuration Options
+
+When configuring an LLM for your agent, you have access to a wide range of parameters:
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `model` | str | The name of the model to use (e.g., "gpt-4", "gpt-3.5-turbo", "ollama/llama3.1", [more providers](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers)) |
+| `timeout` | float, int | Maximum time (in seconds) to wait for a response |
+| `temperature` | float | Controls randomness in output (0.0 to 1.0) |
+| `top_p` | float | Controls diversity of output (0.0 to 1.0) |
+| `n` | int | Number of completions to generate |
+| `stop` | str, List[str] | Sequence(s) to stop generation |
+| `max_tokens` | int | Maximum number of tokens to generate |
+| `presence_penalty` | float | Penalizes new tokens based on their presence in the text so far |
+| `frequency_penalty` | float | Penalizes new tokens based on their frequency in the text so far |
+| `logit_bias` | Dict[int, float] | Modifies likelihood of specified tokens appearing in the completion |
+| `response_format` | Dict[str, Any] | Specifies the format of the response (e.g., {"type": "json_object"}) |
+| `seed` | int | Sets a random seed for deterministic results |
+| `logprobs` | bool | Whether to return log probabilities of the output tokens |
+| `top_logprobs` | int | Number of most likely tokens to return the log probabilities for |
+| `base_url` | str | The base URL for the API endpoint |
+| `api_version` | str | The version of the API to use |
+| `api_key` | str | Your API key for authentication |
+
+Example:
+```python
+llm = LLM(
+    model="gpt-4",
+    temperature=0.8,
+    max_tokens=150,
+    top_p=0.9,
+    frequency_penalty=0.1,
+    presence_penalty=0.1,
+    stop=["END"],
+    seed=42,
+    base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1",
+    api_key="your-api-key-here"
+)
+agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...)
+```
+
+## Using Ollama (Local LLMs)
+
+crewAI supports using Ollama for running open-source models locally:
+
+1. Install Ollama: [ollama.ai](https://ollama.ai/)
+2. Run a model: `ollama run llama2`
+3. Configure agent:
+```python
+agent = Agent(
+    llm=LLM(model="ollama/llama3.1", base_url="http://localhost:11434"),
+    ...
+)
+```
+
+## Changing the Base API URL
+
+You can change the base API URL for any LLM provider by setting the `base_url` parameter:
+
+```python
+llm = LLM(
+    model="custom-model-name",
+    base_url="https://api.your-provider.com/v1",
+    api_key="your-api-key"
+)
+agent = Agent(llm=llm, ...)
+```
+
+This is particularly useful when working with OpenAI-compatible APIs or when you need to specify a different endpoint for your chosen provider.
+
+## Best Practices
+1. **Choose the right model**: Balance capability and cost.
+2. **Optimize prompts**: Clear, concise instructions improve output.
+3. **Manage tokens**: Monitor and limit token usage for efficiency.
+4. **Use appropriate temperature**: Lower for factual tasks, higher for creative ones.
+5. **Implement error handling**: Gracefully manage API errors and rate limits.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+- **API Errors**: Check your API key, network connection, and rate limits.
+- **Unexpected Outputs**: Refine your prompts and adjust temperature or top_p.
+- **Performance Issues**: Consider using a more powerful model or optimizing your queries.
+- **Timeout Errors**: Increase the `timeout` parameter or optimize your input.

 ## 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. |

 ## 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.

The memory will use OpenAI embeddings by default, but you can change it by setting `embedder` to a different model. It's also possible to initialize the memory instance with your own instance.
 
-The 'embedder' only applies to **Short-Term Memory** which uses Chroma for RAG using EmbedChain package.
-The **Long-Term Memory** uses SQLLite3 to store task results.  Currently, there is no way to override these storage implementations.
-The data storage files are saved into a platform specific location found using the appdirs package

+The output of a task in the crewAI framework is encapsulated within the `TaskOutput` class. This class provides a structured way to access results of a task, including various formats such as raw output, JSON, and Pydantic models.
 By default, the `TaskOutput` will only include the `raw` output. A `TaskOutput` will only include the `pydantic` or `json_dict` output if the original `Task` object was configured with `output_pydantic` or `output_json`, respectively.

 ## Forcing Tool Output as Result

 Here's an example of how to force the tool output as the result of an agent's task:

+description: Comprehensive guide on integrating CrewAI with various Large Language Models (LLMs) using LiteLLM, including supported providers and configuration options.
 ---
 
 ## Connect CrewAI to LLMs
 
+CrewAI uses LiteLLM to connect to a wide variety of Language Models (LLMs). This integration provides extensive versatility, allowing you to use models from numerous providers with a simple, unified interface.
+
 !!! note "Default LLM"
-    By default, CrewAI uses OpenAI's GPT-4o model (specifically, the model specified by the OPENAI_MODEL_NAME environment variable, defaulting to "gpt-4o") for language processing. You can configure your agents to use a different model or API as described in this guide.
-    By default, CrewAI uses OpenAI's GPT-4 model (specifically, the model specified by the OPENAI_MODEL_NAME environment variable, defaulting to "gpt-4") for language processing. You can configure your agents to use a different model or API as described in this guide.
+    By default, CrewAI uses the `gpt-4o-mini` model. This is determined by the `OPENAI_MODEL_NAME` environment variable, which defaults to "gpt-4o-mini" if not set. You can easily configure your agents to use a different model or provider as described in this guide.
 
-CrewAI provides extensive versatility in integrating with various Language Models (LLMs), including local options through Ollama such as Llama and Mixtral to cloud-based solutions like Azure.

+
+## Changing the LLM
+
+To use a different LLM with your CrewAI agents, you have several options:
+
+### 1. Using a String Identifier
+
+Pass the model name as a string when initializing the agent:
 
-## Changing the default LLM
-The default LLM is provided through the `langchain openai` package, which is installed by default when you install CrewAI. You can change this default LLM to a different model or API by setting the `OPENAI_MODEL_NAME` environment variable. This straightforward process allows you to harness the power of different OpenAI models, enhancing the flexibility and capabilities of your CrewAI implementation.
 ```python
-# Required
-os.environ["OPENAI_MODEL_NAME"]="gpt-4-0125-preview"
+from crewai import Agent
 
-# Agent will automatically use the model defined in the environment variable
-example_agent = Agent(
-  role='Local Expert',
-  goal='Provide insights about the city',
-  backstory="A knowledgeable local guide.",
-  verbose=True
+# Using OpenAI's GPT-4
+openai_agent = Agent(
+    role='OpenAI Expert',
+    goal='Provide insights using GPT-4',
+    backstory="An AI assistant powered by OpenAI's latest model.",
+    llm='gpt-4'
+)
+
+# Using Anthropic's Claude
+claude_agent = Agent(
+    role='Anthropic Expert',
+    goal='Analyze data using Claude',
+    backstory="An AI assistant leveraging Anthropic's language model.",
+    llm='claude-2'
 )
 ```
 
-## Ollama Local Integration
-Ollama is preferred for local LLM integration, offering customization and privacy benefits. To integrate Ollama with CrewAI, you will need the `langchain-ollama` package. You can then set the following environment variables to connect to your Ollama instance running locally on port 11434.
+### 2. Using the LLM Class
 
-```sh
-os.environ[OPENAI_API_BASE]='http://localhost:11434'
-os.environ[OPENAI_MODEL_NAME]='llama2'  # Adjust based on available model
-os.environ[OPENAI_API_KEY]='' # No API Key required for Ollama
-```
+For more detailed configuration, use the LLM class:
 
-## Ollama Integration Step by Step (ex. for using Llama 3.1 8B locally)
-1. [Download and install Ollama](https://ollama.com/download).
-2. After setting up the Ollama, Pull the Llama3.1 8B model by typing following lines into your terminal ```ollama run llama3.1```.
-3. Llama3.1 should now be served locally on `http://localhost:11434`
-```
-from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
-from langchain_ollama import ChatOllama
-import os
-os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "NA"
-
-llm = ChatOllama(
-    model = "llama3.1",
-    base_url = "http://localhost:11434")
-
-general_agent = Agent(role = "Math Professor",
-                      goal = """Provide the solution to the students that are asking mathematical questions and give them the answer.""",
-                      backstory = """You are an excellent math professor that likes to solve math questions in a way that everyone can understand your solution""",
-                      allow_delegation = False,
-                      verbose = True,
-                      llm = llm)
-
-task = Task(description="""what is 3 + 5""",
-             agent = general_agent,
-             expected_output="A numerical answer.")
-
-crew = Crew(
-            agents=[general_agent],
-            tasks=[task],
-            verbose=True
-        )
-
-result = crew.kickoff()
-
-print(result)
-```
-
-## HuggingFace Integration
-There are a couple of different ways you can use HuggingFace to host your LLM.
-
-### Your own HuggingFace endpoint
 ```python
-from langchain_huggingface import HuggingFaceEndpoint
+from crewai import Agent, LLM
 
-llm = HuggingFaceEndpoint(
-    repo_id="microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct",
-    task="text-generation",
-    max_new_tokens=512,
-    do_sample=False,
-    repetition_penalty=1.03,
+llm = LLM(
+    model="gpt-4",
+    temperature=0.7,
+    base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1",
+    api_key="your-api-key-here"
 )
 
 agent = Agent(
-    role="HuggingFace Agent",
-    goal="Generate text using HuggingFace",
-    backstory="A diligent explorer of GitHub docs.",
+    role='Customized LLM Expert',
+    goal='Provide tailored responses',
+    backstory="An AI assistant with custom LLM settings.",

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