What CrewAI does

CrewAI lets you define agents with roles and goals, give them tasks and run them together as a crew. Flows add step-by-step control when you need it.

Who it is for

Builders who think in roles, like a researcher, a writer and an editor working one job.

How to use CrewAI with Claude Code, Codex or Cursor

  1. Install: uv pip install crewai
  2. Create a project with crewai create crew my_crew.
  3. Edit the agents and tasks YAML files.
  4. Ask Cursor or Claude Code to wire in your tools and test the crew.

Tip: Start with two agents. Bigger crews cost more tokens and are harder to debug.
