I had the exact same experience. Just calling an API call "agent" and giving it a system prompt like "you are a robust data analyst" doesn’t magically make it one. That’s not how it works. My first conclusion is that it’s mostly hype. And honestly, $18M isn’t nearly enough to make AI agents reliable and useful, because solving that would require breakthroughs in reasoning—something we're nowhere close to. Even o1 fails miserably at most real life reasoning tasks despite the hype from openai. (https://www.lycee.ai/blog/why-sam-altman-is-wrong https://www.lycee.ai/blog/why-sam-altman-is-wrong) It seems Crewai is more focused on deploying AI agents now, hoping that reliability will eventually come from improvements made by foundation model companies. But that's a highly uncertain, almost wishful, scenario. And they shouldn't go around screaming that AI agents are reliable in production yet.
