The framework for building multi-agent AI systems
CrewAI is an open-source Python framework for orchestrating role-playing, autonomous AI agents that work together to complete complex tasks.
Intelligence Coverage
CrewAI is an open-source framework developed by João Moura for building multi-agent AI systems. It allows developers to create "crews" of AI agents, each with a specific role, goal, and set of tools, that collaborate to complete complex tasks. CrewAI abstracts LangChain and OpenAI/Anthropic APIs into an intuitive agent orchestration layer. It is widely used for automating research workflows, content pipelines, data analysis, and software development tasks using teams of specialised AI agents.

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
A technique that combines a language model with real-time document retrieval to produce grounded, up-to-date answers.
MCP (Model Context Protocol)
An open standard by Anthropic that lets AI assistants connect to external tools, data sources, and services through a unified protocol.
Agentic AI
AI systems that can autonomously plan, take multi-step actions, use tools, and achieve goals without step-by-step human instruction.
Vector Database
A database purpose-built to store and query high-dimensional vector embeddings, enabling semantic similarity search at scale.
Fine-Tuning
Training a pre-trained language model on a smaller, task-specific dataset to improve its performance on a particular domain or task.
Embeddings
Dense numerical vector representations of text, images, or other data that capture semantic meaning in a form machines can compare.
Prompt Engineering
The discipline of designing and refining input prompts to elicit more accurate, reliable, and useful responses from AI language models.
LLM (Large Language Model)
A deep learning model trained on vast quantities of text that can generate, summarise, translate, and reason about language at human level or above.
