[Question] how to pass the output of task-1 as input of task-2?

[mahone3297]

In the readme.md, there is an example:

researcher = Agent()
writer = Agent()

# Create tasks for your agents
task1 = Task()

task2 = Task()

# Instantiate your crew with a sequential process
crew = Crew(
  agents=[researcher, writer],
  tasks=[task1, task2],
  verbose=2, # You can set it to 1 or 2 for different logging levels
  process=Process.sequential
)

# Get your crew to work!
result = crew.kickoff()

How can the output of task-1 be used as the input for task-2?

• Can it only be done by modifying the task's prompt and letting the crew AI collaborate on its own? Can't it be controlled by code?

You can try adding the context attribute to Task-2

task2 = Task(
    description="Write an article summarising the research findings on AI advancements",
    agent=writer,
    expected_output="A brief article summarising the research findings on AI advancements in Markdown format
    context=[task1]  # This tells CrewAI to use the output of task1 as context for task2
)

    context=[task1]  # This tells CrewAI to use the output of task1 as context for task2
)

I tried this, but still it's not using the output of task1. It worked only once and does not work every other time I tried. Please let me know what can be done?

When I went to verify, it worked without adding context. I tried several times and it worked every time. I'm not sure why.
Maybe need to look at the source code.
