About CrewAI
CrewAI is a lean, fast multi-agent orchestration framework that lets you define autonomous AI agents with distinct roles, goals, and backstories, then assign them tasks within a structured crew. Agents collaborate, delegate, and pass context to each other using a role-playing paradigm that maps naturally to real team workflows. CrewAI supports sequential and hierarchical process flows, integrates with LangChain tools, and ships with a CLI for scaffolding new projects. It is the go-to framework for task-driven multi-agent systems without heavy infrastructure overhead.
