Hi,

What is the difference between using a Manager Agent versus a Manager LLM in Crew AI? The documentation suggests both approaches are valid, but I’ve noticed a trade-off: when I define a Manager Agent, I can’t explicitly define agent tasks, but when I use a Manager LLM, I lose the control and functionality of having a dedicated manager agent. Can someone explain this distinction and the best practices for each approach?

Hey Saad,

Looks like this same topic is already being discussed over in this other thread. How about we keep the conversation going there? It’ll make things way easier for anyone searching the forum for this stuff down the road. What do you think?

Also, like I mentioned in that other thread, you might want to check out this earlier post where I went into more detail about the process.
