[@yazanrisheh5127]

why is it that in this video you were putting the decorators whereas in ur 1st crewai video, you didnt. I'm confused

[@alejandro_ao]

GREAT QUESTION. actually, the only decorators that are essential for crewAI to work are the ones from the tools (because the Langchain agents behind the scenes rely on them). that is why i only used those in the past video. all other decorators are there just to make your life "easier". these other decorators are part of the newer project structure of crewai, but they are not mandatory (for now). they are essentially just wrappers around your functions that run some extra code before and after your function. so, for example, the decorator @task does this when you add it to your function `func`: ``` def task(func): func.is_task = True tasks_order.append(func.__name__) return func ``` in other words, this decorator takes your method and adds the property `is_task` to true, and then adds it to an order list of tasks. as you can see, this will be useful to automatically load this method as a task if you are using the project structure recommended by CrewAI. but if you are not, then you can just create your tasks as we did in the previous video and add them to your Crew instance manually. the reason why i chose to show how this works without the decorators in the previous video is to show you crewAI in its simplest form. especially, because the framework is changing super fast, so it is essential to see what all these decorators and stuff actually boil down to. you can very well set up the crew from this video without the the decorators @task, @agent, @crew, etc.

Outstanding!! You continue to produce some of the best hands on AI content on KZbin. Thank you and I really look forward to a follow up discussion on an optimized version, as insights from that will be very helpful... especially given the $$$ API calls for chatty and confused agent systems.

[@UncleDougy]

@Alejandro_ao this is the best video I have seen on crew-ai so far. Especially using the new file structure which has very limited docs. I am curious though on how the other agents/tasks have access to the .md files that you create during the intermediate steps to use as context.

[@alejandro_ao]

Glad it was helpful! that is a possibility indeed, using those md files will make for a much more complex and complete application

[@dlunlun7073]

Hey AO, thanks for another great informative video. I got it to work with Google's Gemini. These OpenAI API calls could get expensive fast. Looking forward to your next video.

Absolutely love your content. What auto completion engine are you using for VSCode/cursor ide?

[@eshaan9574]

The title of the video got me hooked, the video clearly shows you're great at what you do so I wanted to ask, tasks like these are being automated using no code tools a lot nowadays within fraction of time, what's your opinion on those? Appreciate it

[@rishirajjaiswal5661]

Hey, I loved your content, I am also experimenting with crewAI, chatDev and AutoGen. And what I am really curious about is- can we do what you just did using agents? Think of it like a HR agent. You just input a high level goal and let the HR agent populate the agents and tasks file. And once its done "hiring" the right guys, it calls on a custom tool that kickoff the secondary crew.

[@linkai-atom]

Love and much appreciate the work/insight you share! been following you for a while on several accounts and have been meaning to ask: Are you against work for hire, contract work, or joining on? If so, very Interested in discussing Real Estate Use Case another dev and myself have been working on for a few months now. Could use some help pushing v1 across the finish line..have several clients in the pipeline just waiting for my call so they can pull trigger. Look forward to hearing from you either way!

[@Diego_UG]

wow incredible, thank you, great material, this is how to cook a crewai; What cost did this deployment of the crew generate for this demo, can you share it with us? And could you explain in detail how delegation works at a conceptual level with practical examples rather than at a technical level, and the aspect of how to control the flow at a technical level? I know you've already explained things, but it would be great to know the full detail. Thank you very much, and congratulations for your excellent work, good luck Compadre

[@udaynj]

Amazing tutorial. So we well explained and laid out. Question for you on CrewAI - is the process of picking a tool prescriptive, meaning the agent instructs which tool to pick? Or can the LLM pick automatically from a set of tools and decide what to use. I am just coming up to speed on CrewAI and wasn't sure. And your English is fantastic, by the way. First thought your accent sounded like you were from the USofA

[@shashankkumardubey6260]

Very interesting buddy ❤ Please make some more unique llm project with streamlit/web app. Your previous projects were really awesome.

[@WheyAI]

I agree. I have used Streamlit UI and it’s very clean. A good tutorial would be great on creating a UI
