CrewAI is the Python framework you reach for when you want to write your own multi-agent system. Brocco is the dashboard you open when you want one already running. Both target multi-agent. Very different time-to-value.
A hosted multi-agent dashboard. 9 specialists, 13 tools, 4 recipes, JSONL log. 11-min median time to first run. BYOK or hosted.
A Python framework + enterprise platform for designing, deploying, and monitoring multi-agent crews. You write the agents and tasks; CrewAI orchestrates them.
We tried to write CrewAI's description the way they would. They are great when you want to author the orchestration; we are great when you want it ready to run.
