title: Assembling and Activating Your CrewAI Team
description: A comprehensive guide to creating a dynamic CrewAI team for your projects, with updated functionalities including verbose mode, memory capabilities, asynchronous execution, output customization, language model configuration, code execution, integration with third-party agents, and improved task management.
---
## Introduction
Embark on your CrewAI journey by setting up your environment and initiating your AI crew with the latest features. This guide ensures a smooth start, incorporating all recent updates for an enhanced experience, including code execution capabilities, integration with third-party agents, and advanced task management.
## Step 0: Installation
Install CrewAI and any necessary packages for your project. CrewAI is compatible with Python >=3.10,<=3.13.
```shell
pip install crewai
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
## Step 1: Assemble Your Agents
Define your agents with distinct roles, backstories, and enhanced capabilities. The Agent class now supports a wide range of attributes for fine-tuned control over agent behavior and interactions, including code execution and integration with third-party agents.
```python
import os
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from crewai import Agent
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool, BrowserbaseTool, ExaSearchTool
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "Your OpenAI Key"
os.environ["SERPER_API_KEY"] = "Your Serper Key"
search_tool = SerperDevTool()
browser_tool = BrowserbaseTool()
exa_search_tool = ExaSearchTool()
# Creating a senior researcher agent with advanced configurations
researcher = Agent(
role='Senior Researcher',
goal='Uncover groundbreaking technologies in {topic}',
backstory=("Driven by curiosity, you're at the forefront of innovation, "
"eager to explore and share knowledge that could change the world."),
memory=True,
verbose=True,
allow_delegation=False,
tools=[search_tool, browser_tool],
allow_code_execution=False, # New attribute for enabling code execution
max_iter=15, # Maximum number of iterations for task execution
max_rpm=100, # Maximum requests per minute
max_execution_time=3600, # Maximum execution time in seconds
system_template="Your custom system template here", # Custom system template
prompt_template="Your custom prompt template here", # Custom prompt template
response_template="Your custom response template here", # Custom response template
)
# Creating a writer agent with custom tools and specific configurations
writer = Agent(
role='Writer',
goal='Narrate compelling tech stories about {topic}',
backstory=("With a flair for simplifying complex topics, you craft engaging "
"narratives that captivate and educate, bringing new discoveries to light."),
verbose=True,
allow_delegation=False,
memory=True,
tools=[exa_search_tool],
function_calling_llm=OpenAI(model_name="gpt-3.5-turbo"), # Separate LLM for function calling
)
# Setting a specific manager agent
manager = Agent(
role='Manager',
goal='Ensure the smooth operation and coordination of the team',
verbose=True,
backstory=(
"As a seasoned project manager, you excel in organizing "
"tasks, managing timelines, and ensuring the team stays on track."
),
allow_code_execution=True, # Enable code execution for the manager
)
```
### New Agent Attributes and Features
1. `allow_code_execution`: Enable or disable code execution capabilities for the agent (default is False).
2. `max_execution_time`: Set a maximum execution time (in seconds) for the agent to complete a task.
3. `function_calling_llm`: Specify a separate language model for function calling.
