Choose SaaS to start quickly, or on-premises to keep data inside your company
crewai.work comes in two deployment types. SaaS starts as soon as you sign up and create an organization, and on-premises is installed inside your company's server environment after the scope is set in consultation. Either way, you can swap the AI model, and your company rules and materials stay as they are.
Designed for: For IT leaders and executives who need to choose a deployment type.

What stays when you change the model
You can swap the language model AI Crew uses between commercial models, in-house models and models tuned for specific work. Even when better models come out or security standards change, you don't rebuild from scratch.
Company rules and materials, work service connections and the human check stages stay with Crewon, not with the model. So even when you change the model, the way AI Crew works stays the same.
On-premises scope is set in consultation
With on-premises, the scope depends on your company's network setup, the in-house systems to connect, the model to use and who will handle operation. The detailed scope and the GPU capacity needed are set together in consultation.
