João Moura built the agentic AI open source framework, CrewAI, with a central vision: to make agent creation feel borderline magical.

Inspired by the Ruby on Rails philosophy of “convention over configuration,” CrewAI is designed for speed, clarity, and ease of use. What we love about João’s approach to agentic AI is that he’s not just disrupting the market. He’s shifting the way enterprise leaders think about long-term workflows and processes, too.

In this episode, hosts Aaron Fulkerson and Mark Hinkle talk to João about:

Why interoperability across your stack is essential for scaling AI
The importance of building secure AI systems
How managers are uniquely equipped to build effective agents
The dangers of “agent washing" and how to see through the hype
