Advanced multi-agent AI orchestration with CrewAI - Create agents, tasks, crews, crew executors, flows, flow executors, and tools for complex AI workflows. Now with hybrid LLM support (native + LangChain), advanced features, and integrated support system.
The most advanced multi-agent AI orchestration framework for N8N - Transform complex business processes into intelligent, autonomous agent collaborations with the power of CrewAI. Build sophisticated AI teams that think, collaborate, and execute like human experts.
CrewAI is a revolutionary multi-agent framework that enables you to create autonomous AI teams capable of complex problem-solving, decision-making, and task execution. Unlike single AI agents, CrewAI orchestrates multiple specialized agents that collaborate, delegate, and coordinate to achieve sophisticated business objectives.
Traditional AI: Single agent → Single task → Limited complexity
User Input → AI Agent → Simple Response
CrewAI Framework: Multi-agent collaboration → Complex workflows → Enterprise-grade solutions
User Input → Agent Team → Sophisticated Analysis → Coordinated Execution → Strategic Output
CrewAI follows a hierarchical multi-agent architecture designed for maximum flexibility and scalability:
