MGX（MetaGPT-X）

I. Core Positioning: From “Single Code Generation” to “Multi-Role Intelligent Collaboration”, Defining a New Paradigm for AI Programming

(I) Collaboration Among 5 AI Agents: Replicating the Process of Professional Development Teams

• Emma (Product Manager): The “Translator” for Requirement Implementation

  There is no need to manually write PRDs (Product Requirement Documents). Emma can extract core requirements from users’ natural language and generate structured documents. For example, if a user inputs “develop a personal blog that supports article publishing and comment functions”, Emma will break down functional points such as “user registration and login, article CRUD, and comment interaction”, mark priorities and acceptance criteria to ensure no deviations in requirements. The time for generating requirement documents is reduced from 2 hours to 10 minutes.

• Bob (Architect): The “Designer” for Technical Solutions

  Based on Emma’s PRD, Bob designs technical architecture solutions, including “technology stack selection (e.g., Astro for frontend, Node.js for backend), database design (e.g., fields for article tables and user tables), and system interaction flowcharts”, and draws visual architecture diagrams. For instance, when developing a “GitHub Daily Trending Website”, Bob will recommend a solution of “using the React framework, connecting to the GitHub API, and caching hot data with Redis” to avoid mistakes in technology selection.

• Alex (Engineer): The “Automation Craftsman” for Code Implementation

  In accordance with Bob’s architecture plan, Alex automatically generates full-stack code, supporting mainstream development frameworks (React, Vue, Node.js, Python Flask, etc.). The code includes comments and basic test cases. For example, when developing a Snake Game, Alex will generate complete code for “frontend page rendering, keyboard control logic, and sound playback functions”, and even optimize the collision detection algorithm. The efficiency of code generation is 8 times higher than that of manual coding.

• David (Data Analyst): The “Data Consultant” for Decision Optimization

  For scenarios requiring data analysis (such as enterprise internal data platforms), David designs data collection solutions and generates code modules for “data cleaning, visual charts (e.g., line charts, pie charts), and real-time monitoring”, helping users quickly gain data insights. When an enterprise used MGX to develop a sales analysis platform, David automatically integrated Excel data import and dynamic report functions, improving data analysis efficiency by 60%.

• Mike (Team Leader): The “Coordinator” for Project Advancement

  Without manual coordination, Mike monitors the progress of each agent and resolves collaboration conflicts (e.g., when Emma’s requirements do not match Bob’s technical solution, he automatically triggers requirement negotiation) to ensure the project is delivered on time. For example, when the development cycle is tight, Mike will prioritize scheduling Alex to generate code for core modules while advancing David’s data modules simultaneously, improving the efficiency of multi-task parallelism by 40%.

(II) End-to-End Automated Development: Covering the Entire Software Development Lifecycle

1. Emma refines requirements (“real-time crawling of Hacker News popular articles, support for category-based filtering, and display of reading volume”);
2. Bob designs the architecture (“Vue for frontend + Express for backend, connecting to the Hacker News API, and scheduled data updates”);
3. Alex generates code (frontend pages, backend interfaces, and data request logic);
4. The system automatically executes basic tests (detecting interface availability and page rendering effects);
5. Outputs deployment guidelines (e.g., “local startup commands, server deployment steps”).

Code Quality and Standard Assurance

(III) No-Code Programming via Natural Language: Everyone Can Develop

• No Professional Terminology Required for Requirement Description

  Users can describe requirements in daily language. For example, “design a personal business card webpage that includes name, contact information, and skill tags with a simple style” or “develop a data monitoring tool that displays server CPU usage and memory occupancy in real time”. MGX can accurately identify core demands and avoid requirement deviations caused by the lack of professional terminology.

• Flexible Response to Real-Time Requirement Adjustments

  During the generation process, requirements can be modified at any time using natural language, such as “change the blog’s comment function to be visible only to logged-in users” or “add a score ranking list to the Snake Game”. MGX will automatically trigger corresponding agents to make adjustments (e.g., Emma updates the PRD, Alex modifies the code) without restarting the entire process.

• User-Friendly Experience for Non-Technical Users

  The interface only retains the “requirement input box + progress display bar” with no complex configuration items. Individual developers do not need to learn tools such as Git or Docker to quickly obtain runnable applications. A designer used MGX to develop an interactive prototype, and it only took 1 hour from requirement input to prototype implementation.

II. Function Matrix: Building an AI Programming Toolset Around “End-to-End Development”

(I) Core Development Functions: Covering Development Requirements for Multiple Scenarios

Full-Stack Application Generation

• Frontend Development: Supports generating frontend code for webpages, mini-programs, and desktop applications, adapting to frameworks such as React, Vue, Astro, and VitePress. Examples include “developing a documentation website with VitePress” and “developing a personal blog with React”.
• Backend Development: Generates code for API interfaces, database operations, and permission control, supporting backend technology stacks such as Node.js, Python Flask/Django, and Java Spring Boot.
• Full-Stack Integration: Automatically handles frontend-backend interaction logic (such as API request encapsulation and cross-domain configuration) and generates runnable full-stack projects. For example, “developing a task management system with user login” includes frontend pages and backend interfaces.

Specialized Function Development

• Game Development: Generates 2D mini-games (such as Snake and Tetris), including graphics rendering, interaction logic, and sound playback functions.
• Data Tools: Develops data processing (e.g., Excel import and export), visualization (e.g., dynamic charts), and monitoring tools, supporting connection to databases such as MySQL and MongoDB.
• Tool-Type Applications: Generates creative tools (such as QR code generators and Markdown editors) and office auxiliary tools (such as to-do lists and schedule management).

(II) Agent Collaboration and Project Management Functions: Ensuring Development Efficiency and Quality

Real-Time Task Progress Monitoring

Project Versioning and Export

• Automatically saves project versions and supports reverting to historical versions (e.g., “Snake Game V1.0 on 2025-10-01 14:30”) to avoid code loss caused by requirement adjustments.
• Supports exporting project source code (ZIP compressed package), architecture diagrams (PNG/PDF), and PRD documents (Word/Markdown), facilitating local deployment or team collaboration.

(III) Version and Access: Free and Easy to Get Started

• Access Method: After registering and logging in through the official website (mgx.dev), you can use the tool. It supports access via PC browsers, and no client download is required.
• Function Availability: End-to-end development functions (requirement analysis, code generation, project export) are completely free with no functional restrictions, making it suitable for individual developers and small- and medium-sized enterprises.
• Technical Support: The official website provides a “Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)” section and “requirement description examples” (such as reference descriptions for “developing a blog” and “developing a game”) to help users accurately express their requirements.

III. Usage Process: Complete Application Development in 4 Steps, Even for Beginners

(I) Step 1: Visit the Official Website and Register/Log In

• Enter the Platform: Open the MGX official website (mgx.dev) and complete registration and login via email or GitHub account, with no need to fill in complex information.
• Familiarize with the Interface: After logging in, enter the main development interface. The left side is the “requirement input box”, and the right side is the “agent progress display bar”. There are no redundant function buttons, allowing you to quickly focus on core operations.

(II) Step 2: Input Requirements and Describe Development Goals

• Natural Language Input: Clearly describe requirements in the input box, including “application type (e.g., blog, game, tool), core functions, and style/technical preferences (optional)”. Examples:
  • Individual Development: “Develop a Snake Game with sound effects, supporting keyboard arrow key control, score recording, and restart function after game over”.
  • Enterprise Application: “Develop an internal data analysis platform that supports Excel data upload, generates line charts and bar charts, and exports analysis reports”.
  • Creative Tool: “Design a personal business card webpage that includes name, occupation, contact information, and skill tags, with a simple and fresh style using the Tailwind CSS framework”.
• Requirement Confirmation (Optional): If the description is ambiguous, MGX will proactively ask for details (e.g., “Does the blog need to support article categorization?” “Which data formats does the data analysis platform need to support?”). The development process starts after confirmation.

(III) Step 3: Monitor Progress and Make Real-Time Adjustments

• Collaborative Advancement by Agents: After clicking “Start Development”, the system automatically dispatches the 5 AI agents to work collaboratively. The progress bar updates the status of each role in real time (e.g., “Emma is generating PRD → estimated to be completed in 2 minutes”).
• View Intermediate Results: After each agent completes their task, you can click on the progress node to view the output content (such as Emma’s PRD document and Bob’s architecture diagram). If deviations are found, input modification instructions (e.g., “add ‘article tags’ function to the blog” “use the Vue framework for the architecture solution”), and the system will make real-time adjustments.
• Testing and Feedback: After code generation is completed, MGX provides an online preview link (supported by some projects). Users can test core functions (e.g., clicking the “publish article” button on the blog) and provide feedback on “normal function” or “points to be optimized” (e.g., “login page style is messed up”).

(IV) Step 4: Export the Project and Deploy for Use

• Export Source Code: After confirming that the functions are correct, click “Export Project” and select the download format (ZIP compressed package), which includes complete source code, a README document, and a dependency list.
• Local Deployment: According to the guidelines in the README document, execute simple commands (e.g., “npm install” “npm run dev”) to start the project, with no need for complex configuration.
• Subsequent Optimization (Optional): If secondary development is required, import the source code into a local IDE (such as VS Code) and expand functions based on the basic code generated by MGX (e.g., adding a “dark mode” to the blog).

IV. Application Scenarios: Covering Individuals and Enterprises, Realizing Development Value for All Types

(I) Individual Developers: Quickly Realize Creative Ideas
