You dont need CrewAI or AutoGen. Heres how to build a multi-agent pipeline in pure Python.

##
The Concept

5 AI agents collaborate in a pipeline:

Each agent has a role, a system prompt, and passes output to the next.

##
Implementation

##
Why No Framework?

-
**Simpler**: 50 lines vs 500 lines with CrewAI
-
**Debuggable**: You can see exactly whats happening
-
**Flexible**: Add/remove agents easily
-
**No dependencies**: Just `requests`

library
-
**Works with any LLM**: Ollama, OpenAI, Groq, anything

##
Pro Tips

-
**Different models per agent**: Use codellama for code review, llama3.2 for writing
-
**Temperature**: Lower for Researcher (factual), higher for Writer (creative)
-
**Fallback**: If one model fails, try another
-
**Logging**: Save each agents output for debugging

##
Use Cases

- Blog post pipeline
- Video script generation
- Social media content
- Research reports
- Code review chains
