CrewAI Implementation

The Newsletter AI Agent uses CrewAI, a framework for orchestrating role-playing AI agents. Our implementation includes:

  • Researcher Agent: Gathers comprehensive information about the specified topic from various sources
  • Writer Agent: Transforms research data into engaging newsletter content
  • Editor Agent: Reviews, improves, and finalizes the newsletter for publication

These agents work together in a sequential process, with each agent building upon the work of the previous one to create a high-quality newsletter.

​
Custom Tools

The agents use custom tools to interact with external data sources:

  • Google Search Tool: Searches the web for relevant information
  • Reddit Tool: Gathers discussions from relevant subreddits
  • Twitter Tool: Collects tweets related to the topic
  • YouTube Tool: Finds relevant video content
  • Google News Tool: Gathers the latest news articles
