CrewAI
Role-based multi-agent orchestration for collaborative task execution
View on GitHubWhat it solves
The boilerplate problem in multi-agent setup: defining roles, delegation rules, and task routing without writing a custom orchestration graph.
Overview
CrewAI models multi-agent systems as a crew of agents with defined roles, backstories, and goals. Agents collaborate on tasks sequentially or in parallel, with configurable delegation patterns. Higher-level abstraction than LangGraph; trades control for ease of definition.
