Definition
CrewAI is an open-source framework for orchestrating role-based, autonomous AI agents to collaborate on complex tasks through structured processes. It manages agent interaction via 'Crews' where each agent is defined by a persona, goal, and backstory, trading off higher token latency for improved output quality in multi-step workflows.
An orchestration layer for multi-agent collaboration, not a standalone LLM or a simple single-agent wrapper.
"A professional film crew where a Director, Scriptwriter, and Editor work in a coordinated sequence to produce a movie from a single prompt."
