Weave Integration

Weights & Biases (W&B) Weave is a framework for tracking, experimenting with, evaluating, deploying, and improving LLM-based applications.

Overview of W&B Weave CrewAI tracing usage

Weave provides comprehensive support for every stage of your CrewAI application development:

  • Tracing & Monitoring: Automatically track LLM calls and application logic to debug and analyze production systems
  • Systematic Iteration: Refine and iterate on prompts, datasets, and models
  • Evaluation: Use custom or pre-built scorers to systematically assess and enhance agent performance
  • Guardrails: Protect your agents with pre- and post-safeguards for content moderation and prompt safety

Weave automatically captures traces for your CrewAI applications, enabling you to monitor and analyze your agents’ performance, interactions, and execution flow. This helps you build better evaluation datasets and optimize your agent workflows.

  1. Install required packages
    Terminal window
    pip install crewai weave
  2. Set up W&B Account

    Sign up for a Weights & Biases account if you haven’t already. You’ll need this to view your traces and metrics.

  3. Initialize Weave in Your Application

    Add the following code to your application:

    import weave
    # Initialize Weave with your project name
    weave.init(project_name="crewai_demo")

    After initialization, Weave will provide a URL where you can view your traces and metrics.

  4. Create your Crews/Flows
    from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, LLM, Process
    # Create an LLM with a temperature of 0 to ensure deterministic outputs
    llm = LLM(model="gpt-4o", temperature=0)
    # Create agents
    researcher = Agent(
    role='Research Analyst',
    goal='Find and analyze the best investment opportunities',
    backstory='Expert in financial analysis and market research',
    llm=llm,
    verbose=True,
    allow_delegation=False,
    )
    writer = Agent(
    role='Report Writer',
    goal='Write clear and concise investment reports',
    backstory='Experienced in creating detailed financial reports',
    llm=llm,
    verbose=True,
    allow_delegation=False,
    )
    # Create tasks
    research_task = Task(
    description='Deep research on the {topic}',
    expected_output='Comprehensive market data including key players, market size, and growth trends.',
    agent=researcher
    )
    writing_task = Task(
    description='Write a detailed report based on the research',
    expected_output='The report should be easy to read and understand. Use bullet points where applicable.',
    agent=writer
    )
    # Create a crew
    crew = Crew(
    agents=[researcher, writer],
    tasks=[research_task, writing_task],
    verbose=True,
    process=Process.sequential,
    )
    # Run the crew
    result = crew.kickoff(inputs={"topic": "AI in material science"})
    print(result)
  5. View Traces in Weave

    After running your CrewAI application, visit the Weave URL provided during initialization to view:

    • LLM calls and their metadata
    • Agent interactions and task execution flow
    • Performance metrics like latency and token usage
    • Any errors or issues that occurred during execution

    Weave Tracing Dashboard
  • Weave automatically captures all CrewAI operations: agent interactions and task executions; LLM calls with metadata and token usage; tool usage and results.
  • The integration supports all CrewAI execution methods: kickoff(), kickoff_for_each(), kickoff_async(), and kickoff_for_each_async().
  • Automatic tracing of all crewAI-tools.
  • Flow feature support with decorator patching (@start, @listen, @router, @or_, @and_).
  • Track custom guardrails passed to CrewAI Task with @weave.op().
