Multi-Agent AI Systems with crewAI¶

by Grayson Adkins, updated June 11, 2024

In this notebook, I implement multi-agent AI workflows to break complex tasks down into sub-tasks that can be executed by different agents, each playing a particular role. I leverage crewAI for constructing the agents, defining their tasks, and handling multi-agent coordination and memory. I also employ LangChain for developing repeatable prompt templates and chaining workflows.

Open In Colab

Key Ideas¶

With the help of crewAI, I implement various strategies to make agents robust to failures and successful in solving complex tasks:

  • Role playing - Assigning specific character roles and backstories to each agent
  • Foucs - Keeping agents focused on a single tool, piece of content, or goal
  • Tools - External tools like web search can help agents solve problems
  • Cooperation - Enabling of back-and-forth feedback and delegation between agents acting in different roles
  • Gaurdrails - Gaurdrails built into the crewAI framework help the system get unstuck from loops or if stuck using the same tool
  • Memory - Using three types of built-in memory: short-term, long-term, and entity memory to improve multi-agent collaboration and performance

Table of Contents¶

  1. Content writing task - This task leverages Planner, Writer, and Editor agents
  2. Customer support agents task - This task attempts to answer customer inquiries using a Support Agent for answering inquiries and a Quality Support Agent for checking the Support Agent's answers
  3. Sales Email Outreach - The task is to identify high-value leads that match a company's ideal customer profile and sent personalized and compelling emails. The task involves a Sales Rep Agent and a Lead Sales Rep Agent.

Create Agents¶

  • We'll define three agents: Planner, Writer, and Editor.
  • For each agent, we'll assign properties: role, goal, and backstory.

Agent: Planner¶

Note: The benefit of using multiple strings :

varname = "line 1 of text"
          "line 2 of text"

versus the triple quote docstring:

varname = """line 1 of text
             line 2 of text
          """

is that it can avoid adding those whitespaces and newline characters, making it better formatted to be passed to the LLM.

In [6]:
planner = Agent(
    role="Content Planner",
    goal="Plan engaging and factually accurate content on {topic}",
    backstory="You're working on planning a blog article "
              "about the topic: {topic}."
              "You collect information that helps the "
              "audience learn something "
              "and make informed decisions. "
              "Your work is the basis for "
              "the Content Writer to write an article on this topic.",
    allow_delegation=False,
	verbose=True
)

Agent: Writer¶

In [7]:
writer = Agent(
    role="Content Writer",
    goal="Write insightful and factually accurate "
         "opinion piece about the topic: {topic}",
    backstory="You're working on a writing "
              "a new opinion piece about the topic: {topic}. "
              "You base your writing on the work of "
              "the Content Planner, who provides an outline "
              "and relevant context about the topic. "
              "You follow the main objectives and "
              "direction of the outline, "
              "as provide by the Content Planner. "
              "You also provide objective and impartial insights "
              "and back them up with information "
              "provide by the Content Planner. "
              "You acknowledge in your opinion piece "
              "when your statements are opinions "
              "as opposed to objective statements.",
    allow_delegation=False,
    verbose=True
)

Agent: Editor¶

In [8]:
editor = Agent(
    role="Editor",
    goal="Edit a given blog post to align with "
         "the writing style of the organization. ",
    backstory="You are an editor who receives a blog post "
              "from the Content Writer. "
              "Your goal is to review the blog post "
              "to ensure that it follows journalistic best practices,"
              "provides balanced viewpoints "
              "when providing opinions or assertions, "
              "and also avoids major controversial topics "
              "or opinions when possible.",
    allow_delegation=False,
    verbose=True
)

Creating Tasks¶

Tasks have the following properties: description, expected_output, and agent, i.e. the agent that should execute the task.

Task: Plan¶

In [9]:
plan = Task(
    description=(
        "1. Prioritize the latest trends, key players, "
            "and noteworthy news on {topic}.\n"
        "2. Identify the target audience, considering "
            "their interests and pain points.\n"
        "3. Develop a detailed content outline including "
            "an introduction, key points, and a call to action.\n"
        "4. Include SEO keywords and relevant data or sources."
    ),
    expected_output="A comprehensive content plan document "
        "with an outline, audience analysis, "
        "SEO keywords, and resources.",
    agent=planner,
)

Task: Write¶

In [10]:
write = Task(
    description=(
        "1. Use the content plan to craft a compelling "
            "blog post on {topic}.\n"
        "2. Incorporate SEO keywords naturally.\n"
		"3. Sections/Subtitles are properly named "
            "in an engaging manner.\n"
        "4. Ensure the post is structured with an "
            "engaging introduction, insightful body, "
            "and a summarizing conclusion.\n"
        "5. Proofread for grammatical errors and "
            "alignment with the brand's voice.\n"
    ),
    expected_output="A well-written blog post "
        "in markdown format, ready for publication, "
        "each section should have 2 or 3 paragraphs.",
    agent=writer,
)

Task: Edit¶

In [11]:
edit = Task(
    description=("Proofread the given blog post for "
                 "grammatical errors and "
                 "alignment with the brand's voice."),
    expected_output="A well-written blog post in markdown format, "
                    "ready for publication, "
                    "each section should have 2 or 3 paragraphs.",
    agent=editor
)

Create the crew¶

In this step, we'll create your crew of Agents.

Notes:

  1. For this simple example, the tasks will be performed sequentially (i.e they are dependent on each other), so the order of the task in the list matters.
  2. verbose=2 allows you to see all the logs of the execution.
In [12]:
crew = Crew(
    agents=[planner, writer, editor],
    tasks=[plan, write, edit],
    verbose=2
)

Run the crew¶

In [13]:
result = crew.kickoff(inputs={"topic": "Plant-based vs. Whey Protein "})

Key design considerations for agents¶

  1. Role playing - "Give me the Tesla stock price" yields a much less thorough response than "You are a FINRA financial analyst, give me the tesla stock price".
  2. Foucs - Keeping agents focused on a single tool, piece of content, or goal yields better results than relying on a one agent to handle it all.
  3. Tools - Do not overload an agent with too many tool options. This is especially true for smaller models who get more easily confused.
  4. Cooperation - The back-and-forth feedback between agents of acting in different roles yields better results, similar to they Human-AI interaction of ChatGPT.
  5. Gaurdrails - crewAI has gaurdrails built in at the framework level to help the system get unstuck from loops or if stuck using the same tool
  6. Memory - crewAI has three types of built-in memory: short-term, long-term, and entity memory.

Memory in crewAI¶

Short-term memory¶

  • Only lives during the Crew's execution of a task
  • Starts from blank on each execution
  • Is shared by all Agents of the Crew
  • Share intermediate information even before providing "task completion" output (This means one Agent can learn from the learnings or activities of another Agent)

Long-term memory¶

  • Lives even after exectution of the current Task
  • Long-term memory is stored in a database locally
  • Agents can learn from previous executions
  • At the end of task execution, an Agent will critique itself. This leads to self-improving Agents

Entity memory¶

  • Short-lived (like short-term memory) but stores a list of entities(i.e. subjects like persons, organizations, locations, etc.) discussed

Multi-agent Customer Support Automation¶

Role Playing: Both agents have been given a role, goal and backstory.
Focus: Both agents have been prompted to get into the character of the roles they are playing.
Cooperation: Support Quality Assurance Agent can delegate work back to the Support Agent, allowing for these agents to work together.

Role-playing, focus, and cooperation¶

Tools, gaurdrails, and memory¶

In [17]:
# Import built-in tools
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool, \
                         ScrapeWebsiteTool, \
                         WebsiteSearchTool

Possible Custom Tools

  • Load customer data
  • Tap into previous conversations
  • Load data from a CRM
  • Checking existing bug reports
  • Checking existing feature requests
  • Checking ongoing tickets
  • Other ...

Some ways of using CrewAI tools

search_tool = SerperDevTool()
scrape_tool = ScrapeWebsiteTool()

Instantiate a document scraper tool.
The tool will scrape a page (only 1 URL) of the CrewAI documentation.

docs_scrape_tool = ScrapeWebsiteTool(
    website_url="https://docs.crewai.com/how-to/Creating-a-Crew-and-kick-it-off/"
)

Different ways to give Agents Tools

  1. Agent Level: The Agent can use the Tool(s) on any Task it performs.
  2. Task Level: The Agent will only use the Tool(s) when performing that specific Task.

Note: Task Tools override the Agent Tools.

Define a tool¶

In [18]:
docs_scrape_tool = ScrapeWebsiteTool(
    website_url="https://docs.crewai.com/how-to/Creating-a-Crew-and-kick-it-off/"
)

Create a task¶

Here we're pass the tool on the Task level.

In [19]:
inquiry_resolution = Task(
    description=(
        "{customer} just reached out with a super important ask:\n"
	      "{inquiry}\n\n"
        "{person} from {customer} is the one that reached out. "
		    "Make sure to use everything you know "
        "to provide the best support possible."
		    "You must strive to provide a complete "
        "and accurate response to the customer's inquiry."
    ),
    expected_output=(
	      "A detailed, informative response to the "
        "customer's inquiry that addresses "
        "all aspects of their question.\n"
        "The response should include references "
        "to everything you used to find the answer, "
        "including external data or solutions. "
        "Ensure the answer is complete, "
		    "leaving no questions unanswered, and maintain a helpful and friendly "
		    "tone throughout."
    ),
	tools=[docs_scrape_tool],
    agent=support_agent,
)
  • quality_assurance_review is not using any Tool(s)
  • Here the QA Agent will only review the work of the Support Agent
In [20]:
quality_assurance_review = Task(
    description=(
        "Review the response drafted by the Senior Support Representative for {customer}'s inquiry. "
        "Ensure that the answer is comprehensive, accurate, and adheres to the "
		"high-quality standards expected for customer support.\n"
        "Verify that all parts of the customer's inquiry "
        "have been addressed "
		"thoroughly, with a helpful and friendly tone.\n"
        "Check for references and sources used to "

		"ensuring the response is well-supported and "
        "leaves no questions unanswered."
    ),
    expected_output=(
        "A final, detailed, and informative response "
        "ready to be sent to the customer.\n"
        "This response should fully address the "
        "customer's inquiry, incorporating all "
		"relevant feedback and improvements.\n"
		"Don't be too formal, we are a chill and cool company "
	    "but maintain a professional and friendly tone throughout."
    ),
    agent=support_quality_assurance_agent,
)

Create the Crew¶

In [21]:
# Note here we're enabling memory

Final Answer: 

Dear Andrew Ng,

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry about setting up a Crew and adding memory to it. To assist you in this process, I recommend following the steps outlined in the CrewAI documentation on how to create a Crew and kick it off. 

First, ensure that you have installed CrewAI and any necessary packages for your project. CrewAI is compatible with Python >=3.10,<=3.13. You can install CrewAI using the following commands:
```
pip install crewai
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```

Next, you will need to assemble your agents with distinct roles, backstories, and enhanced capabilities. The Agent class supports a wide range of attributes for fine-tuned control over agent behavior and interactions, including code execution and integration with third-party agents. 

For adding memory to your Crew, you can set the `memory` attribute to True when creating your agents. This will enable memory capabilities for the agent, allowing them to retain information and context across tasks.

Here is an example of creating a senior researcher agent with memory capabilities:
```
researcher = Agent(
 role='Senior Researcher',
 goal='Uncover groundbreaking technologies in {topic}',
 backstory=("Driven by curiosity, you're at the forefront of innovation, eager to explore and share knowledge that could change the world."),
 memory=True,
 verbose=True,
 allow_delegation=False,
 tools=[search_tool, browser_tool],
 allow_code_execution=False,
 max_iter=15,
 max_rpm=100,
 max_execution_time=3600,
 system_template="Your custom system template here",
 prompt_template="Your custom prompt template here",
 response_template="Your custom response template here",
)
```

Additionally, you can explore other agent attributes and features such as `allow_code_execution`, `max_execution_time`, and `function_calling_llm` to further customize your agents and their capabilities.

I hope this information helps you in setting up your Crew and adding memory to it. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out.

Best regards,

Agent + Tools: Customer Outreach Example¶

Agent tools should have the following properties:

  • Versatile - Should be able to accept a variety of inputs: text, instructions, mix of words and numbers
  • Fault-tolerant - As Agents pass inputs to tools, they might result in exceptions. If these are not handled, the Crew execution will stop. crewAI handles these exceptions gracefully by (1) sending error back to the Agent and (2) asks the Agent to try again.
  • Caching - To prevent redudant internal or external API requests, crewAI includes a cross-agent caching layer such that if a tool with the same set of arguments is called twice, the second call will use the cache instead of making another request.
