CrewAI
A framework for building multi-agent systems around an intuitive role-playing paradigm: you define agents with roles and goals, and assemble them into a crew. It is one of the easiest agent frameworks to get working with local models.
Strengths
- Intuitive role-and-crew model, quick to set up multi-agent flows
- Works easily with local models through Ollama
- Minimal boilerplate for common patterns
Weaknesses
- Less low-level control than LangGraph for complex, stateful workflows
- Convenient abstractions can hide what the agents are actually doing
- A shorter production track record than the most established frameworks
