# Paper - ChatDev: Communicative Agents for Software Development

ChatDev is a research framework for software development that uses multiple large language model (LLM) driven agents communicating via chat. Each agent specializes in a development phase such as design, coding, or testing, aiming to maintain consistency across phases. The approach seeks to replace fragmented deep learning models with a unified, chat-based c...
