<Tip>
Crew Studio is a powerful **no-code/low-code** tool that allows you to quickly scaffold or build Crews through a conversational interface.
</Tip>

## What is Crew Studio?

Crew Studio is an innovative way to create AI agent crews without writing code.

With Crew Studio, you can:

- Chat with the Crew Assistant to describe your problem
- Automatically generate agents and tasks
- Select appropriate tools
- Configure necessary inputs
- Generate downloadable code for customization
- Deploy directly to the CrewAI AOP platform

## Configuration Steps

Before you can start using Crew Studio, you need to configure your LLM connections:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set Up LLM Connection">
    Go to the **LLM Connections** tab in your CrewAI AOP dashboard and create a new LLM connection.

    <Note>
      Feel free to use any LLM provider you want that is supported by CrewAI.
    </Note>

    Configure your LLM connection:

    - Enter a `Connection Name` (e.g., `OpenAI`)
    - Select your model provider: `openai` or `azure`
    - Select models you'd like to use in your Studio-generated Crews
      - We recommend at least `gpt-4o`, `o1-mini`, and `gpt-4o-mini`
    - Add your API key as an environment variable:
      - For OpenAI: Add `OPENAI_API_KEY` with your API key
      - For Azure OpenAI: Refer to [this article](https://blog.crewai.com/configuring-azure-openai-with-crewai-a-comprehensive-guide/) for configuration details
    - Click `Add Connection` to save your configuration

## Using Crew Studio

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access Studio">
    Navigate to the **Studio** section in your CrewAI AOP dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a Conversation">
    Start a conversation with the Crew Assistant by describing the problem you want to solve:

    ```md
    I need a crew that can research the latest AI developments and create a summary report.
    ```

    The Crew Assistant will ask clarifying questions to better understand your requirements.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Generated Crew">
    Review the generated crew configuration, including:

    - Agents and their roles
    - Tasks to be performed
    - Required inputs
    - Tools to be used

    This is your opportunity to refine the configuration before proceeding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy or Download">
    Once you're satisfied with the configuration, you can:

    - Download the generated code for local customization
    - Deploy the crew directly to the CrewAI AOP platform
    - Modify the configuration and regenerate the crew
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test Your Crew">
    After deployment, test your crew with sample inputs to ensure it performs as expected.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
For best results, provide clear, detailed descriptions of what you want your crew to accomplish. Include specific inputs and expected outputs in your description.
</Tip>
