CrewAI is a framework for building multi-agent systems around role-based agent definitions. Assign agents roles and goals, provide tools, and let the framework coordinate their collaboration. section 8.3
CrewAI and LangGraph use different approaches to multi-agent workflows:
- CrewAI treats agents like a team: define roles, goals, and backstories, then let agents collaborate autonomously. It suits task-oriented workflows where agents divide and conquer, with less code but less fine-grained control. section 8.3.1
- LangGraph uses explicit states, nodes, and edges to control communication and routing. It offers precise control for custom workflows, at the cost of more code. section 8.3.1
