CrewAI - How to Write a Blog Post Using AI Agents - Letting The Boss Agent Take Control

Introduction

The other day, I uploaded a video discussing CrewAI, an incredible framework designed to build agents and automate various tasks using GPT and other language models. During my initial test, I attempted to create a blog post, but the results fell short of expectations. However, I realized I had yet to tap into the full potential of the framework.

Fortunately, the creator of CrewAI, whom I hope I'm pronouncing correctly as Z from Brazil, responded to one of my videos by offering valuable advice. He suggested reusing the same agents for multiple tasks since they carry execution memory. This approach can simplify workflows. Additionally, he recommended breaking tasks into multiple "Crews" to yield better results.

With this newfound knowledge, I set out to experiment further with CrewAI. My goal was to leverage the framework more effectively, so I utilized the exceptional tools offered by the CrewAI team. As showcased previously, they have created a GPT that uses a rich knowledge base to streamline the process.

In my recent trial, I engaged in multiple conversations with this specialized GPT, exploring ways to structure my agents into two separate Crews. Despite facing challenges, I persevered and learned from each iteration. One key point I focused on was the delegation feature built into CrewAI, which allows agents to assign tasks dynamically.

In this experiment, I retained the same agents from my previous blog post creation attempt. The hierarchy of roles included the Boss, Editor, Outliner, Keyword Researcher, Technical SEO Expert, Content Writer, Proofreader, and an Outreach Expert for promoting the created blog post.

This time, however, I enabled delegation. The Boss agent was empowered to oversee the project and delegate tasks to the other agents. The Editor also had the ability to delegate tasks, creating a robust structure for task management.

Here’s a brief overview of how the process unfolded:

Overseeing the Project: The Boss agent managed the overall project, initiating tasks related to keyword research and content creation.
Keyword Research: The Boss requested the Keyword Researcher to provide a list of relevant keywords for the blog post topic on split testing.
Outlining: The outline for the blog post was delegated to the Outliner, who produced a structured outline covering essential points related to split testing.
Content Writing: The Content Writer worked on drafting the blog post based on the outline generated.
Proofreading: The Proofreader reviewed the content for grammatical errors and readability issues.
SEO Optimization: The Technical SEO Expert finalized the blog post by implementing SEO best practices such as meta tags and keywords.
Promotion Strategy: Finally, the Outreach Expert crafted a promotional plan for the blog post.

Once all tasks were completed, the Editor evaluated the overall content creation process, confirming that no additional actions were needed. The structured delegation allowed for a smooth workflow, but I noticed some redundancy because tasks were still being executed even after being marked as complete.

The primary takeaway from this experiment is the power of the delegation feature within CrewAI. It enabled efficient task distribution, leading to a satisfactory end result while managing the workflow effectively.

However, it's evident that I still need to refine the structuring of tasks. Though my current approach was somewhat successful, it's essential to ensure that agents do not duplicate efforts unnecessarily.

Overall, I’m excited about the potential of CrewAI and am committed to experimenting further to optimize the automation of my blog post creation process. The simplicity of constructing this flow keeps me motivated to continue enhancing our productivity with AI.
