CrewAI

Multi-agent collaboration framework with role-based crews

Live preview of crewai.com

Overview

CrewAI takes the metaphor seriously: you define agents with roles ("researcher", "writer", "editor"), give them goals and tools, and CrewAI orchestrates them through tasks. The mental model is closer to delegating to a team than wiring up a function graph.

It's the right pick when the workflow maps cleanly to "a few specialists collaborating": content production, research pipelines, due diligence. The DSL is approachable enough that non-engineers can read and modify it.

CrewAI Enterprise adds hosted deployment and observability for teams running crews in production.
