ChatDev is an open-source framework that simulates a virtual software company, employing intelligent agents powered by large language models (LLMs) to automate the software development lifecycle. By adopting a waterfall model, ChatDev divides the process into distinct phases—designing, coding, testing, and documentation—with specialized agents collaborating in each phase. This approach enables the rapid and cost-effective generation of complete software applications, including source code, user manuals, and environmental dependencies. ChatDev's innovative use of multi-agent systems and natural language communication streamlines development workflows, reduces errors, and enhances efficiency.
Automating the software development process from design to deployment.
Simulating a virtual software company with AI agents in various roles.
Reducing development time and costs through AI-driven workflows.
Enhancing collaboration among AI agents to improve software quality.
ChatDev demonstrates high autonomy through its multi-agent system that autonomously handles the complete software development lifecycle (designing, coding, testing, documenting) using specialized role-based agents. The framework implements structured communication protocols like communicative dehallucination and role reversal to minimize errors without human intervention. While it requires initial task description input and OpenAI API configuration, the system operates independently once initiated with self-contained phase transitions and decision-making capabilities.
