The RIGHT WAY To Build AI Agents with CrewAI (BONUS: 100% Local)

This is the "golden path" for building AI Agents using CrewAI. If you follow this template, you'll be set up to use all upcoming features with CrewAI, such as an automatically created API for your agents.

Enjoy :)

For some reason some people are saying this is an undisclosed sponsorship video. I clear say at 0:36 that it's sponsored, plus I marked the video as sponsored. I will NEVER make an undisclosed sponsored video.

I just had a play with lightning AI from this videos recommendation, I do like the lack of dependency problems, I spent an entire evening messing about with python dependencies for a similar project to crew ai on my local pc, I didn't get anywhere lol.
This was straight forward, I also appreciate the pacing and calm approach to these videos.
I would love to see more informative content on lightning AI and crew ai, maybe using a larger crew, using a variety of tools, and a different subject for some variety, writing a code perhaps.
Keep up the great work!

Just in 3 minutes and already posts :) greate work as always

Please make a video about building llm applications from architecture perspective. What are the most popular designs/ architecture. What are the most used tools like langchain, Llamaindex, crew ai, groq, llms

[MasonPayne]

This video matched exactly what I was looking for. But I am blown away at how much boilerplate there is to get all this set up! It seems like CrewAI left a bunch of work for the end user to do even though they built in configs etc.

What part is 100% Local It's all in the cloud!

[nfiniteloop]

I see a lot of complaints on this thread for a variety of reasons, I dont know why people complained. But I really liked this video.
I've not seen CrewAI before and it was intresting to see how it worked.
I was pleantly surprised to see how quickly a demo app could be built using more than one agent / AI.
I plan to try some of the demos on this site.
Paid or not, I enjoyed this video and found it intresting to look further into. Thankyou for posting it!
👍

Thanks. Please make a vid doing this 100% local without Lightning, as this means that you don't need anything additional and can be altered in the future without Lightning if needed (most likely will do). I don't think ppl want to be tied to Lightning or other similar platforms, despite the "ease of use".

Love the crew ai tutorial, i first saw crew ai on ypur channel and now we are using it at work!

[techknightdanny]

Awesome content Matthew. Appreciate the tips on good practices, not a lot of Youtubers articulate on best practices and standards. Thank you!

[hirefiedinc]

Great tutorial! I have been watching your AutoGen series too and now I'm super confused what to pick for my upcoming project. What's your personal favourite? :)

[tgzsolt]

Matt what do you think is these opensource stuffs are just for fun playing, or it is feasible to make a product ready app based on? I am wondering how can we test such an LLM based module correctly...

[rolfkeller]

Great video, and very valuable for a beginner as I am. I am not a coder, invested a lot of time in terminal, conda etc. to get crewAI templates run for use cases I have in mind. for me it would be beneficial to understand how to set a run time environment that will scale but help stay organized without the need to master terminal and python environments but to focus on crewaAI and Langchain's offerings. So anything you could share being involved a while either by yourself or by one of your network firends driving towards a 'product' would be intersteding to see. Wish you anyway all the best, I'll keep following your sharings.

A great video as always Matt, I did try Lightning AI but it drove me nuts. I'm not keen on cloud IDEs because I travel a lot and they suck on planes and trains that go through lots of tunnels. I did give it a go though but found the UI rather awkward. In the end I just created a new project in PyCharm and it all worked just fine. Give me a GitHub repo any day.
I run on a 96GB M2 Max Mac so rarely need external GPUs, your demo was a great update on CrewAI. I hope they're not going to get too embedded with poetry but I'm very comfortable with the rest of the structure.

[Eelco-syiu]

Awesome, thanks! I've playing with it to see what it can do. Is there a way to change the language of the output?

[steenbot]

Great video and very informative! However once i successfully ran the program on lightningAI i noticed the stock information for TESLA was wrong (outdated), the agent told me the source of info (Yahoo). I changed the company from Tesla to Netflix to see if this data would be inaccurate as well, and sadly it was. However the data pulled on netflix did notify me that the data was from 2021. Is this an issue with GROQ? or is it to do with what tools we’ve included? Thanks once again for the awesome informative video! Thumbs up and a new subscriber here!

I wanted to jump back into the fray on this thread with an update; I've since been able to install and run crewAI with only local models, no barking from the code about a missing OpenAI key. Carry on! :D

[RABWA]

Thanks, its quite useful and structured.❤

[binaryatlas]

is there a way to get the code without using LIghtning?

[brandonlambert]

Fantastic information in here. Thank you for the work you're putting into these videos!

I'm trying to adapt your code to use the default TXTSearchTool, but I don't see how tools are passed to the agent/task. Does it automatically have access to anything in the tools folder?
