Reviewer scorecard
“The simplest way to get multi-agent systems working. Role + Goal + Backstory pattern is intuitive and effective.”
“Revolutionary approach to prompt engineering. Optimizers find better prompts than humans can write manually.”
“Multi-agent is mostly hype right now. Single agent with good tools outperforms agent teams for most real tasks.”
“Steep learning curve and the abstractions can be confusing. For most apps, good prompt engineering is faster.”
“Multi-agent orchestration will be essential as AI tasks grow more complex. CrewAI's simplicity gives it adoption advantage.”
“The idea that prompts should be compiled, not handwritten, is correct. DSPy is ahead of its time.”
