Good timing on this, and I really appreciate you doing this. I'll be adding a few more features myself.

[@MervinPraison]

Nice. Also please share it with the community if you find it useful. Thanks

[@NotesandPens-ro9wx]

more features :O such as ?

[@utorian4144]

What was the cost of generating the story?

[@HyperUpscale]

Absolutely stunning tutorial! 🤩 Last year it took me 4 months for 100 pages princess story book ... you did for 1 minute... not bad 😅

[@MervinPraison]

Thank you 😊

[@siddharthshukla3557]

can you make a tutorial for generating such images locally, using stable diffusion, programmatically. would love to make this workflow locally.

[@crum--business]

Download the desired modal , if you have a good gpu, download the XL modal , else download the smaller one, Download the weights of the modal, Download all the required packages Create a script that uses the modal and provide the desired prompt, Run the script Running modals is really easy actually

[@siddharthshukla3557]

@@crum--business yes i was asking for the sample script

[@GiovaDuarte]

I vote for this one as well! Using local options allow us to experiment and test things before using the stronger (and expensive) options.

I hit a rate limit really fast! also, I get: Action 'Create markdown string' don't exist, these are the only available Actions: Read a file's content: Read a file's content() - A tool that can be used to read template.md's content.

[@stevey19861]

Can anyone advise me on what to do?

[@tonygil8617]

I have the same issue

[@truthwillout2371]

Thanks again Mervin, though unfortunately I've been having a lot of trouble with Groq of late. It just fails constantly. Very strange. EDIT: I should say, not to discredit the video of course! I love CrewAI. I prefer it to AutoGen and I hear there's a UI on the horizon so looking forward to see how it develops.

[@MervinPraison]

Yes I understand you. Groq itself is good for speed but Groq currently uses Mixtral, and AI agents are not good with Mixtral. I had to try few times to get Mixtral working

[@MervinPraison]

Soon Groq will be adding more models

[@truthwillout2371]

@@MervinPraisonYes I was looking at the cards yesterday. They cost 20,000 Euros!!! I should also say when I said it fails, it fails. I can't ever get a response no matter how many times I refresh my API key. The Playground doesn't work, either. Maybe I was unlucky and tried it at bad times. But yes, OpenAI over Mixtral. And you can reduce cost by 11x by using a good RAG setup and GPT3.5

[@scitechtalktv9742]

⁠@@MervinPraisonApril 2024: In the meantime Groq has added a very good model, namely: Llama3 ! Perhaps you can make a video using that model?

[@aimademerich]

Phenomenal!!

[@MervinPraison]

Thank you

[@adamchan4403]

Love it 😻

[@MervinPraison]

Thank you

[@Future-CX]

Love this I have tried this but I used ollama so I could get local agents. However even though it works reletivatively fast in the terminal it is extremely slow in crew ai. Not sure how to potentially fix this. If you could try it out that would be great because I think other people have similar issues.

[@snuwan]

Thanks. I was going to do this myself today😊 we need to improve on formatting I guess

[@MervinPraison]

Yes we need to improve a lot from here. But has greater potential

[@snuwan]

yes. but for me I could not get it for create 5 images. it always create 2 or 3 images and do not save other images. tried many things but could not figure out why. Also I tried to use the samething to write a novel with about 2000 worlds for a chapter. But I always right a short story. I change to promots accordingly to ask agents to create a novel. Still no luck

Good video. Unfortunately, this is not a step-by-step guide. For someone like me, who knows nothing about coding. There is no information on how to reproduce what is shown in the video. Conda? Where and how to download and install it on Windows. How to start the project with visual studio, etc...

[@RICHARDSON143]

Dalle-3 is a vision model right ? And it is paid ? Could you suggest any unpaid vision model image generator to use that's free and not required any cost

[@mehditaslimifar2521]

Great tutorial, thanks a lot! Can you please also share the word template as well?

[@20windfisch11]

Could you do a video about hierarchical crews with CrewAI? Great content otherwise, short but comprehensive. The whole AI field feels like in the 80s and 90s when we got our first computers and many of us took the first steps into programming, oftentimes with BASIC. Ironically, Python has a lot of the feelings of BASIC, only that it is much more powerful and with the Internet and the open source community today, it’s much more inclusive, you don’t have to buy expensive programming resources any more.

[@MervinPraison]

Hierarchical : kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaTMoniwgsqKmq8 Yes, I can understand you. I did learn BASIC too 😂. It's the same feel but in a way higher level.

How to get data from pdf, I’m planning of creating an crew ai for converting pdf materials into a online course and automate the process

[@tonygil8617]

how do i deal with the groq exceeded limit

[@anil1234]

I encountered an error while trying to use the tool. This was the error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified. Tool convermarkdowntopdf accepts these inputs: convermarkdowntopdf(markdownfile_name: 'string') - Converts a Markdown file to a PDF document using the mdpdf command line application. Args: markdownfile_name (str): Path to the input Markdown file. Returns: str: Path to the generated PDF file. on windows , bui I installed all packages mentioned. any help here

[@gauthambalraj]

in groq implementation the model name is misspelled its mixtral-8x7b-32768

[@shuntera]

3 of the images generated had the same filenames as the first 2 generated and do were overwritten leaving only 2 actual .png files. I suggest prefixing the filename with the chapter name, so chapter1_filename.png, chapter2_filename.png etc Then the PDF file couldn't be generated, I think because the converter used forward slashes (mac/linux) / and I am using Windows so expecting backslashes \

[@MervinPraison]

Mixtral is not the best model. I hope soon Groq will add other models . That could make this more accurate.

[@jguillengarcia]

are you working in vscode? how do you install conda in vscode?

[@MervinPraison]

As long as u have conda installed in your computer, It should work on VS code

[@patrikpapec1923]

creazy

[@shuntera]

Ha! got mine to work, but there is zero consistency between the main characters from image to image!!!

[@MervinPraison]

Yes, for that we need to modify the prompts accordingly . Also try using a image generator api which generates consistent characters.

[@AlbertEinstein-cr8sv]

the code does not wait for images to get generated. i am using sdxl model api from hugging face. Any idea?

[@MervinPraison]

Haven’t tried SDXL yet. You could try implementing await in python or using something like celery

[@user-wr4yl7tx3w]

why do you need openai api key if you are running mistral model?

[@HVSombrilla]

for dalle-2

having problems with mdpdf

Make sure you have installed mdpdf using pip. or you could use any other markdown to pdf converter , but you might need to modify the code slightly
