Sequential Crew

This component in Nappai helps you automate a sequence of tasks by assigning them to different agents, one at a time. Think of it like an assembly line: each agent performs its specific job before passing the work to the next. This ensures your tasks are completed in a specific order, making your automation more reliable.

Relationship with CrewAI

This component uses the CrewAI library to manage and coordinate the execution of tasks. CrewAI handles the complex details of assigning tasks to agents and ensuring they run sequentially. You don’t need to know about CrewAI to use this component; Nappai handles the technical aspects for you.

Inputs

  • Tasks: This is a list of tasks that need to be done. Each task is assigned to a specific agent. The order in this list determines the order in which the tasks are executed. You’ll provide this list through the Nappai dashboard.

Outputs

This component doesn’t have direct outputs in the way you might expect (like a file or a number). Instead, it generates an internal message that tracks the progress and configuration of your task sequence. You can monitor the progress of your tasks through the Nappai dashboard.

Usage Example

Imagine you need to process customer orders. You could use “Sequential Crew” to:

  1. Task 1 (Agent A): Retrieve the order details from your database.
  2. Task 2 (Agent B): Check the customer’s payment status.
  3. Task 3 (Agent C): Send a confirmation email to the customer.

You would list these tasks in the “Tasks” input, specifying which agent is responsible for each. The “Sequential Crew” component would then ensure these steps happen in the correct order.

Templates

This component is used in the following template: Sequential Tasks Agent

Many components can be used with Sequential Crew to create complex workflows. Here are a few examples:

  • SQL Query Constructor: Use this to create the SQL queries needed for tasks that involve your database.
  • Google Generative AI Embeddings: Use this to add AI-powered text analysis to your tasks.
  • Explain SQL results: Use this to get clear explanations of the results from SQL queries.
  • Many other components: Nappai offers a wide range of components that can be integrated into your sequential workflow. Explore the Nappai component library to find the tools you need.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Clearly define your tasks: Make sure each task in your list is specific and well-defined.
  • Assign appropriate agents: Choose agents that are capable of handling the tasks you assign them.
  • Monitor your workflow: Use the Nappai dashboard to monitor the progress of your tasks and identify any potential issues.

Security Considerations

The security of your data depends on the security of the individual components you use within the “Sequential Crew” workflow. Ensure that all connected components are properly configured and secured according to Nappai’s security best practices. Review the security settings for each individual component you integrate.
