CrewAI
Application
Engine inside the CrewAI platform that takes a short description of a business, matches it against patterns from agents running in production, and returns a ranked set of automation use cases to build first.

Open-source Python framework for orchestrating role-playing autonomous agent "crews": agents defined in YAML or code with a role, goal and backstory, planning over long tasks, a memory layer, checkpointing, and hundreds of open-source tools out of the box.
