MetaGPT (from DeepWisdom, MIT license, ICLR 2024 oral) simulates a software company: give it a one-line requirement and a Product Manager agent writes a PRD, an Architect designs, Engineers implement, QA reviews. Their motto is "Code = SOP(Team)": encode a company's standard operating procedures into the agents' interactions. Still maintained, with tens of thousands of GitHub stars. What it shows in hindsight: role-play and documents between agents help coherence on small projects, but the factories that matter in 2026 are organized around verification and isolation instead of personas. Good fit if: you want spec-to-small-app generation, or you're studying how multi-agent SE started. https://www.alphaxiv.org/overview/2308.00352 #ai #agents #softwarefactory
