CrewAI
AI Agents
Overview
A framework for orchestrating role-based, autonomous AI agents. Allows you to create 'crews' of agents that collaborate to solve complex tasks.
CrewAI is a popular Python framework for building teams of specialized agents that each take on a role and collaborate toward a shared goal. It models real-world workflows — researcher, writer, reviewer — and coordinates their handoffs, with both an open-source library and a hosted platform for deployment. Its role-based mental model makes multi-agent design approachable.
