CrewAI Framework

A CrewAI Framework is a role-playing multi-agent programming framework by CrewAI Inc.

• AKA: CrewAI, Crew Framework.
• Context:
  • It can (typically) orchestrate role-playing agents for collaborative tasks.
  • It can (typically) enable autonomous decision-making through agent interactions.
  • It can (typically) manage agent roles with defined attributes.
  • It can (typically) coordinate task delegation via process management.
  • ...
  • It can (often) integrate with LLM providers for agent capabilitys.
  • It can (often) support tool creation for external interactions.
  • It can (often) maintain agent communication through collaboration systems.
  • It can (often) enable process execution via workflow models.
  • ...
  • It can have Execution Models including sequential processes and hierarchical processes.
  • It can provide Tool Integration with web browsers and data tools.
  • It can implement Process Management for task coordination.
  • It can maintain Agent Collaboration through communication systems.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • CrewAI Versions, such as:
    • CrewAI Enterprise (2024), providing enterprise capabilitys
    • CrewAI Community (2024), supporting open-source development
    • ...
  • CrewAI Integrations, such as:
    • LangChain Integration for tool ecosystems
    • LlamaIndex Integration for data access
    • LLM Provider Integrations for model access
    • ...
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • LangGraph Framework, which uses graph-based workflows instead of role-playing workflows.
  • AutoGen Framework, which employs conversation-based orchestration rather than role-based orchestration.
  • MetaGPT Framework, which simulates software company workflows over general team workflows.
