Detailed guide on workflow management through processes in CrewAI, with updated implementation details.
Processes orchestrate the execution of tasks by agents, akin to project management in human teams. These processes ensure tasks are distributed and executed efficiently, in alignment with a predefined strategy.
manager_llm
) or a custom manager agent (manager_agent
) must be specified in the crew to enable the hierarchical process, facilitating the creation and management of tasks by the manager.Processes enable individual agents to operate as a cohesive unit, streamlining their efforts to achieve common objectives with efficiency and coherence.
To assign a process to a crew, specify the process type upon crew creation to set the execution strategy. For a hierarchical process, ensure to define manager_llm
or manager_agent
for the manager agent.
Note: Ensure my_agents
and my_tasks
are defined prior to creating a Crew
object, and for the hierarchical process, either manager_llm
or manager_agent
is also required.
This method mirrors dynamic team workflows, progressing through tasks in a thoughtful and systematic manner. Task execution follows the predefined order in the task list, with the output of one task serving as context for the next.
To customize task context, utilize the context
parameter in the Task
class to specify outputs that should be used as context for subsequent tasks.
Emulates a corporate hierarchy, CrewAI allows specifying a custom manager agent or automatically creates one, requiring the specification of a manager language model (manager_llm
). This agent oversees task execution, including planning, delegation, and validation. Tasks are not pre-assigned; the manager allocates tasks to agents based on their capabilities, reviews outputs, and assesses task completion.
The Process
class is implemented as an enumeration (Enum
), ensuring type safety and restricting process values to the defined types (sequential
, hierarchical
). The consensual process is planned for future inclusion, emphasizing our commitment to continuous development and innovation.
The structured collaboration facilitated by processes within CrewAI is crucial for enabling systematic teamwork among agents. This documentation has been updated to reflect the latest features, enhancements, and the planned integration of the Consensual Process, ensuring users have access to the most current and comprehensive information.
