MGX reminds me of Devin, but with a unique twist—five specialized agents working in real-time to handle data, coding, and design. I haven’t seen anything like this before!
@luobaishun Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I'd like to share the design inspiration behind MGX. Before creating MetaGPT (the open-source project behind MGX), I was a software company CEO who coded for eighteen years, using up to 21 programming languages at my peak. I understand what it takes to produce effective code—it requires a comprehensive set of SOPs that are challenging to implement in practice. Getting humans to adopt these procedures and play specific roles effectively consumed all my energy.
During my years managing the company, I gradually came to understand why software companies need product managers, architects, engineers, QA specialists, and project managers, and why these roles form a more effective structure together. In essence, we're shaping agent societies based on human social structures, though I often wonder if intelligent agents might be more like the Borg from Star Trek—but who knows? (I almost renamed the open-source project to "Borg"!)
I'm eager to share my complete perspective with everyone, so I'll be writing a blog post that will be featured on the mgx.dev homepage. I welcome everyone to follow along and continue this conversation.
@victoria_wu Thrilled to see you’re exploring MGX!
Here’s how MGX stands out: it processes your input by coordinating multiple specialized agents, distributing tasks efficiently, and producing the final result seamlessly. What sets MGX apart is its complete transparency — you can observe every stage of the workflow as it happens in real time.
Once the agents complete their tasks, you have full control to review, fine-tune, or dive into the details to perfect the output. Whether you’re after an all-in-one AI solution or looking to streamline your workflow, MGX delivers exactly what you need.
By the way, do you have any preferences or favorite tools when it comes to AI-assisted programming? I’d love to hear your insights!
🔥Hey Product Hunt,
We’re thrilled to introduce MGX (MetaGPT X), the first multi-agent AI dev team based on real software SOPs. You can chat with the AI team leader, product manager, architect, engineer, and data analyst 24/7 to create websites, blogs, shops, analytics, games, or anything else you can imagine.
At MGX’s core, you’ll find five specialized agents, each dedicated to a unique facet of development: Mike, the team leader who coordinates tasks; Emma, the product manager who focuses on features and user needs; Bob, the architect who charts system design; Alex, the engineer who produces production-ready code; and David, the data analyst who wields a built-in Notebook to ensure data remains the bedrock of every build.
Beyond “just code,” MGX offers:
Team Collaboration: Mike will handle most of the tasks for you. But you still can simply @ a single agent, to chat with quick action.
Browser-Enhanced Research: Agents can open pages, compare layouts, and summarize findings to shape your product.
Comprehensive Archiving: View, edit, and preview Markdown or Mermaid flowcharts in the Editor, then replay every step on the timeline to learn and iterate.
Dev→Prod Cycle: Test in “Dev” mode, deploy with one click, and keep re-deploying to refine your app until it’s production-ready.
Visual Customization: Our AppViewer lets you select or replace components and assets on the fly—no diving into code necessary.
AppWorld: After deployment, you can share your excellent work with the world. If you discover an inspiring project, you can remix it and continue interacting with your AI Agents to make continuous improvements.
Thank you for checking out MGX! We’d love to hear your feedback [Discord: https://discord.gg/NMrp44aahe] on how multi-agent workflows can transform your software-building experience. We’ll be around all day to answer your questions - happy building!
This looks really interesting, would love to try! I'm very bullish on multi-agent systems. Congrats on the launch and good luck! 👏
How does it compare with current tools like Devin, or IDEs like Cursor?
@manuhortet Thank you so much for your enthusiasm! 🙏 We're also excited about the potential of multi-agent systems. Would love to hear about your experience once you give it a try. Feel free to join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/ZRHeExS6xv) to share your journey! 🚀
@manuhortet Thanks for asking about the comparison!
MGX takes a fundamentally different approach as a multi-agent system where specialized AI agents (Product Manager, Architect, Data Analyst, Engineer, etc.) collaborate like a real development team. While Devin operates as a single AI developer and Cursor enhances the IDE experience, MGX recreates the entire software development lifecycle with agents that have different expertise and goals - just like human teams.
This multi-agent architecture gives MGX several unique advantages:
More specialized expertise for each development phase
Reduced context pollution between different stages of development
Lower computational costs since agents only focus on their specific tasks
The ability to swap or upgrade individual agents independently
A more intuitive development process that mirrors how human teams actually work
Currently, MGX excels at web development with various frontend templates, Supabase backend integration, and data visualization capabilities. The system maintains context throughout iterations, allowing projects to continuously evolve.
Each tool has its strengths depending on your needs. What kind of development work are you looking to do? 🚀
@manuhortet Thank you so much for your interest and kind words! 🙏
As a core developer, I'm excited to share what makes MetaGPT X unique. While Devin and Cursor are excellent tools, our approach is fundamentally different. We're built on the open-source MetaGPT project, which has been focusing on multi-agent collaboration since 2023.
Our key differentiation is our deep commitment to advancing core multi-agent technology. Rather than just creating a coding assistant, we've developed a sophisticated system where multiple specialized agents collaborate like a real software team - from product managers to architects to developers. Each agent has its own expertise and role, working together to solve complex problems.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on multi-agent systems! What aspects of agent collaboration interest you the most? We're always eager to discuss and explore new possibilities in this space.
@manuhortet 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 Devin and Cursor are interesting, 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!👏

@jennieweng Thank you for your kind words and great questions! 🙌
The development timeline really depends on the project scope and complexity. While simpler projects like personal websites or data dashboards can be completed in hours to days, more complex applications might take longer. But here's the thing - the AI team works 24/7, and the quality of the output is worth the wait!
As for complexity, I'd love to show you what MGX can do! Check out our AppWorld (MGX) where you can see live examples. Currently, we're focusing on web development scenarios including personal portfolios, blogs, websites, online stores, aggregator pages, and subscription pages. For backend development, we support integration with Supabase. Additionally, MGX shows excellent performance in data analysis and data science-related scenarios.
Here are some cool examples that showcase our capabilities:
A fun interactive game: https://flappysnake-v2.mgx.world
An impressive 3D city visualization: https://3d-city-scene-v1.mgx.world
Advanced data visualization: https://chart-js-dashboard-bbn89v-v1.mgx.world
Complex simulation: https://city-simulation-v1.mgx.world
What kind of project do you have in mind? Would love to hear your thoughts and discuss how MGX could help bring it to life! 💡
@jennieweng I can share a personal example: Over a decade ago, I tried creating a personal blog. I spent months learning WordPress, Linode, PHP, JavaScript, and struggling to fix WordPress bugs while making themes responsive. After all that effort, I only managed to create a mediocre responsive page, which made me doubt my intelligence and question whether I was suited to be a product manager or UI designer.
Fast forward to today - I used MGX for just one hour and the AI agents were able to analyze my needs and create a complete personal website (https://chenglin-wu-card-preview-0i12md.mgx.dev/) without me writing a single line of code.
MGX currently handles web applications of moderate complexity well, with particular strengths in:
Frontend development with various templates and frameworks
Backend integration with Supabase
Data visualization capabilities
Full-stack web applications with standard database operations
The multi-agent architecture really shines for projects where you need multiple specialized skills working together - product management, architecture, frontend, backend, etc. What kind of software project are you thinking about building?
@jennieweng Thank you for your questions!
Based on our testing, MetaGPT X typically takes 15-30 minutes to generate initial architecture and core code for standard web applications.
The actual development time depends on the clarity of requirements and project complexity. Our multi-agent system ensures each component (architecture, code, tests) is developed with rigorous standards.
What kind of project are you looking to build? Would love to provide more specific details based on your use case.
@jennieweng Thanks so much, Jennie! 🚀 Great questions! Based on our testing, for a simple 1-2 page website, it takes around 5-10 minutes to build. For more complex projects, like those with 3-5 pages, multiple page transitions, and various operations or business logic (e.g., handling user authentication with OAuth, implementing role-based access control, managing data processing workflows, integrating APIs for real-time data updates, or implementing multi-step forms and payment gateways), it typically takes about 15-30 minutes.
Currently, MGX is particularly strong with front-end projects, website development, and data analysis. It excels with languages like JavaScript, Vue, Node.js, and Streamlit, and can also handle machine learning tasks, particularly in Python. We're continuously improving its capabilities to support even more sophisticated use cases! 😊

@hehe_z
Thank you for this insightful question! MGX leverages MetaGPT's proven multi-agent collaboration framework, which has garnered 45k+ stars on GitHub.
The key is our structured SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) system. Each AI agent has clearly defined roles and responsibilities - like a PM writing PRDs, an Architect designing system architecture, and Engineers implementing code. They communicate through a standardized protocol, sharing context and outputs seamlessly.
To prevent redundancy, we've implemented a task dependency system where agents coordinate their work based on clear prerequisites and deliverables. For example, the Engineer won't start coding until the Architect has finalized the technical design, ensuring efficient workflow.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this approach!
@hehe_z @zongze_x Correction: MetaGPT now has 48k stars.
MGX handles collaboration between different AI agents using a centralized design with a Team Leader who distributes tasks. Each agent has access to a Jira-like tool that helps prevent duplicate work and track progress across the development lifecycle.
The Team Leader serves as the coordinator, assigning specific responsibilities to specialized agents (Product Manager, Architect, Engineer, etc.) based on their expertise. This ensures that each part of the development process is handled by the most appropriate agent while maintaining overall project coherence.
We're planning to experiment with a more decentralized approach in the coming months, allowing agents to communicate freely with each other. While this could significantly increase token usage, it might also lead to more organic collaboration patterns similar to real development teams.
This balance between structured coordination and specialized expertise is what allows MGX to maintain efficiency while leveraging the unique strengths of each agent in the system. Have you tried using multi-agent systems for development before?
@hehe_z Thank you for your interest! As a core developer, I'm excited to share that our multi-agent collaboration is built on solid academic research. Our approach is based on the open-source MetaGPT project and our research paper "MetaGPT: Meta Programming for A Multi-Agent Collaborative Framework" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.00352).
The key innovation in our research is a hierarchical collaboration mechanism where agents with different roles (PM, Architect, Developer) work in parallel while maintaining task coherence through a shared memory and state management system. This significantly reduces redundant work and ensures efficient task distribution.

the multi-agent "AI team" approach is the right framing. single agents hit a ceiling fast. you need specialized agents that hand off to each other, same way a real engineering team works.
the hard problem isnt getting individual agents to perform well. its the coordination layer. how do they share context? how do you prevent one agents output from conflicting with anothers? how do you handle failures in the middle of a chain?
whoever solves the orchestration problem cleanly wins this space.
This looks look a really innovative tool! With products that are already up and running does this work for adding in more features to a web app for example and building on existing code?
