Developer Documentation
CrewAI provides a robust developer experience with multiple integration surfaces:
Installation
pip install crewai
Core Concepts
- Agents — Role-based entities with defined goals, backstories, and tool access.
- Tasks — Discrete units of work assigned to agents.
- Crews — Orchestrated groups of agents collaborating on a shared objective.
- Flows — Deterministic, controllable pipelines for complex multi-agent orchestration.
Code-First Example
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
researcher = Agent(role='Researcher', goal='Find key insights', ...)
writer = Agent(role='Writer', goal='Summarize findings', ...)
task = Task(description='Research and summarize AI trends', agent=researcher)
crew = Crew(agents=[researcher, writer], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
Enterprise Features (Control Plane)
- Real-time tracing of every LLM call, tool call, and memory read
- RBAC with immutable audit trails and Enterprise IAM integration
- Human-in-the-loop intervention gates during execution
- Runtime hooks for PII redaction and policy enforcement at every LLM/tool boundary
- Multi-LLM model swapping at runtime for cost/performance optimization
