🚀 Example: Build Your First CrewAI Agent

python

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

# Create an agent
researcher = Agent(
    role='Research Analyst',
    goal='Find the latest trends in AI',
    backstory='You are an expert researcher'
)

# Give it a task
task = Task(
    description='Research AI trends in 2025',
    agent=researcher
)

# Run it
crew = Crew(agents=[researcher], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()

This agent will research and return insights — all from 10 lines of Python.
