Use Cases & Benefits
- Enables natural language programming by orchestrating multiple AI agents with distinct roles to collaboratively complete complex software development tasks.
- Provides a comprehensive multi-agent framework that simulates a full software company workflow, improving task decomposition and collaboration among AI roles.
- Use for automating end-to-end software project generation from a single natural language requirement, including user stories, APIs, and documentation.
- Use for building AI-powered multi-agent systems that assign specialized roles like product managers and engineers to streamline software development processes.
- Use for integrating data interpretation and retrieval-augmented generation to enhance AI-driven data analysis and code generation workflows.

Software Company as Multi-Agent System
- MetaGPT takes a one line requirement as input and outputs user stories / competitive analysis / requirements / data structures / APIs / documents, etc.
- Internally, MetaGPT includes product managers / architects / project managers / engineers. It provides the entire process of a software company along with carefully orchestrated SOPs.
Code = SOP(Team)is the core philosophy. We materialize SOP and apply it to teams composed of LLMs.

Get Started
Installation
Ensure that Python 3.9 or later, but less than 3.12, is installed on your system. You can check this by using:
python --version.
You can use conda like this:conda create -n metagpt python=3.9 && conda activate metagpt
pip install --upgrade metagpt
# or `pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/geekan/MetaGPT.git`
# or `git clone https://github.com/geekan/MetaGPT && cd MetaGPT && pip install --upgrade -e .`
Install node and pnpm before actual use.
For detailed installation guidance, please refer to cli_install or docker_install
Configuration
You can init the config of MetaGPT by running the following command, or manually create ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml file:
# Check https://docs.deepwisdom.ai/main/en/guide/get_started/configuration.html for more details
metagpt --init-config # it will create ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml, just modify it to your needs
You can configure ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml according to the example and doc:
llm:
api_type: "openai" # or azure / ollama / groq etc. Check LLMType for more options
model: "gpt-4-turbo" # or gpt-3.5-turbo
base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1" # or forward url / other llm url
api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"
Usage
After installation, you can use MetaGPT at CLI
metagpt "Create a 2048 game" # this will create a repo in ./workspace
or use it as library
from metagpt.software_company import generate_repo
from metagpt.utils.project_repo import ProjectRepo
repo: ProjectRepo = generate_repo("Create a 2048 game") # or ProjectRepo("<path>")
print(repo) # it will print the repo structure with files
You can also use Data Interpreter to write code:
import asyncio
from metagpt.roles.di.data_interpreter import DataInterpreter
async def main():
di = DataInterpreter()
await di.run("Run data analysis on sklearn Iris dataset, include a plot")
asyncio.run(main()) # or await main() in a jupyter notebook setting
