Kickstart Generative AI with Crew AI Workshop
The ACM Student Chapter of Padre Conceição College of Engineering (PCCE) organized a workshop under the banner of AARUSH 2025 on 25th September 2025 from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30p.m. in Computer Lab 1. The event featured a session titled “Kickstart Generative AI with Crew AI” led by Mr. Rohit Bhandari, Associate Software Engineer at Mclaren Strategic Solutions and was attended by more than 45 students.
Mr. Risbern Prassanha, students of TE Computers began the session by introducing Mr. Rohit Bhandari. The workshop was organized to provide participants with deeper insights into the rapidly advancing field of Artificial Intelligence and its real-world applications. The session was led by an esteemed speaker who covered a wide spectrum of topics related to language models, frameworks, and AI implementations.
The talk began with an introduction to Large Language Model (LLM) architecture, where the underlying mechanisms of training, parameter optimization, and contextual text generation were explained. This provided participants with a strong foundation for understanding how modern AI models operate. The discussion then moved on to CrewAI, a framework designed to build and manage multi-agent AI systems capable of collaborative problem-solving. Alongside this, the speaker elaborated on LangChain, a powerful tool that enables the integration of language models into applications by chaining prompts, managing workflows, and connecting external tools.
Another significant topic covered was the comparison between small and large language models, highlighting the trade-offs in efficiency, computational requirements, scalability, and performance. The speaker also explained the evolution of GPT models, focusing on the advancements from GPT-3.0 to GPT-3.5, which demonstrated improvements in contextual understanding, response accuracy, and adaptability across various use cases.
In addition, the workshop provided practical knowledge on creating personal API keys using OpenRouter, allowing participants to explore and deploy AI models securely and efficiently. The concept of AI agents was also introduced, with explanations on how they can be implemented, orchestrated, and applied in real-world scenarios ranging from automation to intelligent assistance.
Mr. Derron Rodrigues concluded the session with the vote of thanks. Throughout the session, participants engaged actively in discussions about generative AI trends, multi-agent systems, and real-world applications, gaining valuable knowledge on implementing Crew AI in current industry scenarios. The event stood out for its relevance, practical focus, and the opportunity for students and professionals to network with industry experts.
Towards the conclusion of the event, Dr. Supriya, HOD of Computer Department presented Mr. Rohit with a token of appreciation.
The faculty coordinators for the event were Dr. Louella M. Colaco and Ms. Meghana Pai Kane
