work with me (prepping for a talk at Harvard)

In this live YouTube stream, Tony Kipkemboi walks viewers through the end‑to‑end development of a CrewAI workflow he will present at the Harvard Kennedy School. He starts by setting up a collaborative coding environment, then designs three agents – a senior web scraper, a senior research assistant, and a senior reporting analyst – each with carefully crafted prompts that assign seniority to improve output quality. Tony builds a custom web‑scraping tool, experimenting with Firecrawl, Crawl4AI, and ultimately a BeautifulSoup‑based scraper to pull all presidential executive orders from the White House website, handling API keys securely. He integrates the tool into the CrewAI framework, configures tasks, and adds necessary dependencies (lxml, Serper.dev, etc.). Throughout the session he encounters and resolves errors, adjusts model choices (Gemini vs. OpenAI), and confronts token‑limit challenges. To overcome context window constraints he implements a chunking strategy that splits the 114 executive orders into manageable groups, modifies the reporting analyst to process these chunks sequentially, and defines a detailed markdown report format styled after the New York Times. He also discusses future extensions such as daily monitoring, newsletter generation, and Slack alerts. The stream ends with a reflection on the progress made and plans for polishing the project.
