I have a Crockpot. I don't use it much and I have ever prepared chicken/vegs(onions, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms etc.) in it. I just dump everything cut in small pieces and leave it for 4~5 hours and boom it is prepared. How do you prepare legumes, any tips?

Legumes are kind of like that in the Instant Pot in terms of ease, but much faster. They're usually done in under an hour. IP also has a Saute mode that allows you to develop the flavor and texture of ingredients like aromatics, spices, herbs, and tough vegetables. I don't work much with meat, but I've made al pastor that was absolutely amazing.
