01 — Overview

What is CrewAI?

CrewAI is a framework for building multi-agent systems. You define agents with roles and goals, give them tasks and tools, and let them work together as a crew, with Flows to control the overall sequence. The core library is open source under the MIT license.

For production use, CrewAI offers a hosted platform with a visual studio, an AI copilot, tracing and deployment tools, plus enterprise options such as private deployment and single sign-on. The paid packaging has changed several times in 2026, so check the current plan before committing.
