CrewAI Tutorial: How To Make CrewAI Coding Agent Run and Execute Code Itself

#crewai #dockerdesktop #vscode #python #aiagent #openai #codingagent
Welcome back to DS‑AI with Khanhvy & today's tutorial! @crewAIInc coding agent is so powerful and you can use it for vibe-coding. However, I've been seeing tons of questions on Reddit and in the comments about CrewAI agents that just won't execute code-missing Docker errors, virtual‑env mismatches, libraries not found, and more. So today, I'm walking you through my exact local setup using VS Code, Docker Desktop, and crewAI. By the end of this video, you'll have a fully functional CrewAI coding agent that writes, runs, and even saves its own Python scripts-all without copy/paste headaches!

Tool Use: CrewAI, Docker Desktop, VSCode
🎥 In this video, we cover:
✔️ Installing CrewAI & crewai_tools in your Python environment
✔️ Configuring VS Code & Docker Desktop for seamless container execution
✔️ Defining your agent's role, goal, and backstory for clear instructions
✔️ Setting up CodeInterpreterTool and FileWriterTool
✔️ Writing the Task and orchestrating with Crew
✔️ Running a live demo: agent generates code, executes it, prints stdout, and writes files
