AI / CrewAI Interview Questions
What are the four core primitives in CrewAI's mental model?
CrewAI's mental model is built around a small, consistent set of four primitives.
| Primitive | Role |
| Agent | An autonomous entity with a role, goal, and backstory that performs work |
| Task | A specific assignment with a description, expected output, and an assigned agent |
| Tool | An extension that gives an agent additional capabilities, like web search or file access |
| Crew | A collection of agents and tasks coordinated together by a process |
This small, consistent set of primitives is what CrewAI's own documentation credits for making workflows easy to reason about, extend, and debug, compared to frameworks with more abstraction layers.
