## 📖 Overview
|
|
|
|
- **ChatDev** stands as a **virtual software company** that operates through various **intelligent agents** holding
|
|
different roles, including Chief Executive Officer <img src='online_log/static/figures/ceo.png' height=20>, Chief Product Officer <img src='online_log/static/figures/cpo.png' height=20>, Chief Technology Officer <img src='online_log/static/figures/cto.png' height=20>, programmer <img src='online_log/static/figures/programmer.png' height=20>, reviewer <img src='online_log/static/figures/reviewer.png' height=20>, tester <img src='online_log/static/figures/tester.png' height=20>, art designer <img src='online_log/static/figures/designer.png' height=20>. These
|
|
agents form a multi-agent organizational structure and are united by a mission to "revolutionize the digital world
|
|
through programming." The agents within ChatDev **collaborate** by participating in specialized functional seminars,
|
|
including tasks such as designing, coding, testing, and documenting.
|
|
- The primary objective of ChatDev is to offer an **easy-to-use**, **highly customizable** and **extendable** framework,
|
|
which is based on large language models (LLMs) and serves as an ideal scenario for studying collective intelligence.

## ❓ What Can ChatDev Do?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/OpenBMB/ChatDev/assets/11889052/80d01d2f-677b-4399-ad8b-f7af9bb62b72
|
|
|
|
## ⚡️ Quickstart
|
|
|
|
To get started, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. **Clone the GitHub Repository:** Begin by cloning the repository using the command:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/OpenBMB/ChatDev.git
|
|
```
|
|
2. **Set Up Python Environment:** Ensure you have a version 3.9 or higher Python environment. You can create and
|
|
activate this environment using the following commands, replacing `ChatDev_conda_env` with your preferred environment
|
|
name:
|
|
```
|
|
conda create -n ChatDev_conda_env python=3.9 -y
|
|
conda activate ChatDev_conda_env
|
|
```
|
|
3. **Install Dependencies:** Move into the `ChatDev` directory and install the necessary dependencies by running:
|
|
```
|
|
cd ChatDev
|
|
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
4. **Set OpenAI API Key:** Export your OpenAI API key as an environment variable. Replace `"your_OpenAI_API_key"` with
|
|
your actual API key. Remember that this environment variable is session-specific, so you need to set it again if you
|
|
open a new terminal session.
|
|
On Unix/Linux:
|
|
```
|
|
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_OpenAI_API_key"
|
|
```
|
|
On Windows:
|
|
```
|
|
$env:OPENAI_API_KEY="your_OpenAI_API_key"
|
|
```
|
|
5. **Build Your Software:** Use the following command to initiate the building of your software,
|
|
replacing `[description_of_your_idea]` with your idea's description and `[project_name]` with your desired project
|
|
name:
|
|
On Unix/Linux:
|
|
```
|
|
python3 run.py --task "[description_of_your_idea]" --name "[project_name]"
|
|
```
|
|
On Windows:
|
|
```
|
|
python run.py --task "[description_of_your_idea]" --name "[project_name]"
|
|
```
|
|
6. **Run Your Software:** Once generated, you can find your software in the `WareHouse` directory under a specific
|
|
project folder, such as `project_name_DefaultOrganization_timestamp`. Run your software using the following command
|
|
within that directory:
|
|
On Unix/Linux:
|
|
```
|
|
cd WareHouse/project_name_DefaultOrganization_timestamp
|
|
python3 main.py
|
|
```
|
|
On Windows:
|
|
```
|
|
cd WareHouse/project_name_DefaultOrganization_timestamp
|
|
python main.py
|
|
```
|
|

## ✨️ Advanced Skills
|
|
|
|
For more detailed information, please refer to our [Wiki](wiki.md), where you can find:
|
|
|
|
- An introduction to all command run parameters.
|
|
- A straightforward guide for setting up a local web demo, which includes enhanced visualized logs, a replay demo, and a
|
|
simple ChatChain Visualizer.
|
|
- An overview of the ChatDev framework.
|
|
- A comprehensive introduction to all advanced parameters in ChatChain configuration.
|
|
- Guides for customizing ChatDev, including:
|
|
- ChatChain: Design your own software development process (or any other process), such
|
|
as ``DemandAnalysis -> Coding -> Testing -> Manual``.
|
|
- Phase: Design your own phase within ChatChain, like ``DemandAnalysis``.
|
|
- Role: Defining the various agents in your company, such as the ``Chief Executive Officer``.

## 🤗 Share Your Software!
|
|
|
|
**Code**: We are enthusiastic about your interest in participating in our open-source project. If you come across any
|
|
problems, don't hesitate to report them. Feel free to create a pull request if you have any inquiries or if you are
|
|
prepared to share your work with us! Your contributions are highly valued. Please let me know if there's anything else
|
|
you need assistance!
|
|
|
|
**Company**: Creating your own customized "ChatDev Company" is a breeze. This personalized setup involves three simple
|
|
configuration JSON files. Check out the example provided in the ``CompanyConfig/Default`` directory. For detailed
|
|
instructions on customization, refer to our [Wiki](wiki.md).
|
|
|
|
**Software**: Whenever you develop software using ChatDev, a corresponding folder is generated containing all the
|
|
essential information. Sharing your work with us is as simple as making a pull request. Here's an example: execute the
|
|
command ``python3 run.py --task "design a 2048 game" --name "2048" --org "THUNLP" --config "Default"``. This will
|
|
create a software package and generate a folder named ``/WareHouse/2048_THUNLP_timestamp``. Inside, you'll find:
|
|
|
|
- All the files and documents related to the 2048 game software
|
|
- Configuration files of the company responsible for this software, including the three JSON config files
|
|
from ``CompanyConfig/Default``
|
|
- A comprehensive log detailing the software's building process that can be used to replay (``timestamp.log``)
|
|
- The initial prompt used to create this software (``2048.prompt``)
