Overview

CrewAI is an open-source framework for defining agents with roles, goals, tools, and memory. Multiple agents can be organized into crews, while Flows structure the steps, state, and triggers of a process.

The service combines code-based development, a visual editor, and a deployment platform. A free cloud plan supports a limited number of executions. Production projects require technical skills to manage models, costs, secrets, and observability.
