MetaGPT, available on Github (crossed 13,000 stars), aims to change the way we make software. This exciting tool can take a single line of what you want to do and turn it into many things like user stories, an analysis of the competition, requirements, data structures, APIs, and documents.

MetaGPT on GitHub

What’s really amazing is how MetaGPT works inside. It’s like having a team of product managers, architects, project managers, and engineers all working together in a virtual space. It follows carefully made Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to copy how real software development works.

SOP between MetaGPT and real-world human team

MetaGPT builds on the idea that Code = SOP(Team) and takes software development to the next level. It has AI agents that act like different parts of a software company, such as product managers and engineers, to copy how a real company works.

What’s even more astonishing is how affordable it is. It costs just $0.2 for a basic example, including analysis and design, and about $2.0 for bigger projects.
