Planning & Reasoning with CrewAI
This lesson explains how to use CrewAI's two complementary intelligence features—planning and reasoning—in a full-stack multiagent application.
Planning is a crew-level capability that generates a step-by-step execution plan before tasks run, while reasoning is an agent-level capability that makes individual agents reflect and refine their approach before acting.
You'll learn when to use each (or both together), how to configure them with planning_llm and max_reasoning_attempts, and how to capture their artifacts through a FastAPI + React integration so users can see the crew's plan and each agent's reasoning in real time—with governance controls to keep sensitive details safe.
