Thread vs Task

Hey

,
I would like to implement chat using CrewAI and I am wondering what is the difference between use_thread and use_task.
I haven't found a clear comparison in the documentation, so I'm asking if anyone would be able to explain to me the differences or give me some example use cases?
For any answer I will be grateful

What do you think of adding this to the docs on use_thread, would this clarify it for you, or do you still miss something:

Future deprecation

Note that is an alternative to that will most likely
replace in the future. Compared to , has no intrusive cancel, which turned out to be a too large of
a performance overhead to be useful. Also, can run async functions, which is not possible with .

I think it would help. From the perspective of a person who doesn't necessarily come from a python background (I'm guessing there are quite a few such users):
I see two functions that look quite similar at first glance + has the ability to set a parameter, which further adds to the misunderstanding.
In this case, I would most appreciate a comparison of the two functions with an example that would illustrate a use case where would work better instead of and vice versa. Additionally, information about potential substitution would suggest to me to use .
