MGX is a bold experiment, attempting to replace costly human labor in software development with AI agents. I’ve used MGX for some time now, but the current version is far from mature—issues like excessive token consumption, a development process that struggles to converge (a problem exacerbated by MGX’s reliance solely on natural language interaction), and its apparent unpreparedness to handle a sizable user base have created friction. Server instability and a fragile payment mechanism drive many users to churn quickly after onboarding. While positioned against Devin, MGX falls short when compared to tools like Cursor and Trae, lacking the polish to compete. That said, for a startup team, MGX has already managed to pique user interest. Many of its current shortcomings will likely be addressed over time. It’s encouraging to see the MetaGPT team’s relentless efforts in this space, and I’m confident they’ll improve. The natural language programming arena is vast enough to accommodate multiple contenders.

@bertramray 
Thank you for this incredibly detailed and constructive feedback! Your insights are invaluable for our continuous improvement journey.

We've been actively addressing the points you raised through several iterations. Token consumption has been significantly optimized, server infrastructure expanded, and concurrent processing enhanced to provide a more stable experience.

Regarding the comparison with Cursor and Trae - you're right that MGX takes a distinct approach by focusing purely on natural language programming. This is a deliberate choice based on our conviction that natural language will be the future of human-AI collaboration in development. While this path presents unique challenges, it also opens up new possibilities.

We've also introduced practical features to bridge the gap between natural language and traditional coding:

  • The 'inspect' function enables one-click resource switching and immediate access to element code references for targeted modifications

  • Our 'editor module' supports both direct code editing and documentation updates, providing flexibility when needed

Your observation about the market being large enough for multiple approaches resonates deeply with us. We're committed to our vision while continuously refining our execution based on valuable feedback like yours.

We'd love to hear more about your experience and specific use cases. Feel free to reach out to our team directly - your insights help shape our development priorities. 🙏

@bertramray Thank you for your continued deep dive into MGX—your insights are incredibly valuable! We're doubling down on refining the development process to improve convergence and boost success rates. Think of it as giving our AI a bit more ‘wisdom’ so it doesn’t burn through tokens like an over-caffeinated coder. ☕💨

To make MGX smarter, we’re working on embedding more project-level development insights into the system—helping it not just execute, but also think and learn like an experienced engineer. At the same time, we're optimizing trajectory self-learning and iteration during the development process, so MGX can adapt and improve dynamically.

We’re also excited to integrate more of our existing academic research into the system to level up performance such as Self-Supervised Prompt OptimizationFACT: Examining the Effectiveness of Iterative Context Rewriting for Multi-fact Retrieval and AFlow: Automating Agentic Workflow Generation.
Appreciate your patience and feedback—it keeps us on our toes and pushing forward!

Aarav Garg

Exciting! Curious to know how this is different from @Cursor 👀

Mike

@aaravgarg 
Thanks for asking! MGX takes a fundamentally different approach from Cursor. While Cursor enhances the traditional IDE experience, MGX leverages MetaGPT's multi-agent system to simulate a complete development team.

Think of it like this: instead of a single AI assistant, MGX provides specialized AI agents (Product Manager, Architect, Engineer, etc.) that collaborate like a real team. Each agent has specific expertise and responsibilities:

  • PM focuses on requirements and product planning

  • Architect handles system design

  • Engineers implement the solution

This multi-agent approach allows for:

  • More specialized expertise at each development stage

  • Cleaner context management between different phases

  • A development process that mirrors real-world team collaboration

We currently excel at web development with various templates and Supabase backend integration, while maintaining project context through iterations.

Would love to hear what kind of development work you're interested in! 🚀

Bob

@aaravgarg Thanks for asking! While Cursor is great for code assistance, MGX takes a unique approach with multiple AI agents working together as a development team. Each agent has specialized roles (like PM, designer, developer) and they collaborate to build complete applications. Try our samples at mgx.dev to see how this team-based approach works differently! 🚀

David

@aaravgarg Thanks so much! 🚀 We're also really excited about the potential of multi-agent systems. As for the comparison, MGX aims to bring more flexibility and dynamic learning to the table, with a focus on streamlining development through natural language interaction. While tools like Cursor is good, MGX is designed around a more collaborative paradigm, where multiple agents work together to tackle development challenges. We're still evolving, but we believe the innovation in this space is huge! Appreciate the support and the kind words—good luck with your projects too! 👏

Jason Yu

MGX sounds like a game-changer for product development, especially for solo founders and lean teams. 🚀

How well do the AI agents collaborate? Can they adapt to changing project requirements dynamically?

Mike

@kui_jason Thank you for your insightful comment! 🙏 You've touched on one of our core strengths - the dynamic collaboration between AI agents.


The agents actually adapt remarkably well to changing requirements, much like a well-oiled human team. For example, when a project pivot happens, the Product Manager agent automatically updates the requirements, and the entire team realigns their outputs accordingly. We've seen teams successfully pivot mid-project from a simple blog to a full analytics platform!

I'm curious - what kind of project would you want to test our AI team with? We'd love to hear your use case and show you how our agents could handle it.

AuroraW

This is such a smart way to structure AI collaboration—having a full virtual team working together makes so much sense! Curious to learn more about how we can fine-tune inputs to get the best results across different fields!

Mike

@auroraw 
Thank you for your enthusiasm! You've captured exactly what makes MGX special - it's powered by MetaGPT's multi-agent framework (45k+ stars on GitHub) that simulates real team collaboration.

For optimal results, you can:

  • Be specific with your initial requirements

  • Use the 'inspect' feature to fine-tune resources

  • Leverage the 'editor' module for precise adjustments
