Overview
MetaGPT是一个多智能体框架，将不同角色分配给GPT模型以形成协作实体来处理复杂任务。该框架模拟完整的软件公司结构，包含产品经理、架构师、项目经理和工程师等角色。其核心理念是'Code = SOP(Team)'，将标准操作程序(SOP)具体化并应用于由大语言模型组成的团队。MetaGPT能够接收一行需求输入，然后输出用户故事、竞品分析、需求文档、数据结构、API规范和技术文档等完整的软件开发交付物。该框架提供了软件公司的整个开发流程，通过精心编排的标准操作程序实现自动化。凭借66000+的GitHub星标和最近在ICLR 2025的学术认可，MetaGPT在AI驱动的软件开发领域获得了显著关注。其配套产品MGX在ProductHunt上获得了每日和每周产品第一名的成绩。
Deep Analysis
vs AutoGen/CrewAI: models entire software company with role-based SOPs (PM→Architect→Engineer), producing not just code but docs, API specs, and data structures
⚡ Capabilities
