What Are Flows?
CrewAI Flows streamline AI workflow creation and management, enabling developers to coordinate tasks and Crews for advanced automations. With structured, event-driven workflows, Flows connect tasks, manage state, and control execution, empowering multi-step processes with CrewAI’s full capabilities.
How CrewAI Flows Compares to Other Frameworks
Start simple, scale without limits: Most tools lock you into one approach — chats, agents, or rigid graphs. CrewAI Flows let you move fluidly across them, applying the right structure at the right time.
Low-level control
For when you need precision, without over-complication for simple tasks.
Flexible agency
Mix rules, functions, LLM calls, and full crews in a single workflow.
Ease without compromise
Quick to start, capable of handling the most complex automations.
Built for
scale
Powering millions of daily executions in production environments.
With CrewAI Flows, you don’t choose between speed, control, and complexity — you get all three.
Flows vs. Crews
Understanding the Decision Framework
When building AI applications with CrewAI, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right approach for your specific use case. Should you use a Crew? A Flow? A combination of both?
Using Flows
Crews enable autonomous collaboration, while Flows add structured automation with precise control. From conditional logic to dynamic state management, Flows ensure tasks run securely and reliably—seamlessly integrating with Crews to balance flexibility and control.
Using Crews
Just like a company has departments (Sales, Engineering, Marketing) working together under leadership to achieve business goals, CrewAI helps you create an organization of AI agents with specialized roles collaborating to accomplish complex tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Flows are CrewAI’s modular orchestration layer — giving you low-level control and high-level ease to automate anything from a single LLM call to a fully autonomous multi-agent crew.
Graphs force you into rigid node-link structures. Chatbot builders assume every problem is a conversation. Flows are built for real-world automation — flexible enough to start with a single rule and grow into complex, agent-driven workflows.
Yes. You can start with rules-based steps, add LLM enrichment, layer in agent delegation, and scale to full crew orchestration — all in the same framework.
Never. Flows give you step-level visibility, testing, and governance. You choose where autonomy is applied and where execution stays deterministic.
Flows currently run 12M+ executions/day for industries from finance to federal to field ops. It’s battle-tested for mission-critical workloads.
