    Nice video and nice tool. I'm trying to build something similar but with ability to chat with agents while they are solving a problem. Langchain supports ReAct/Conversational agents but they are quite limited. It also hard to coordinate multiple agents in Langchain since there is no way to route or chain them out of the box. Maybe I need something more powerful than Langchain. I need to dive into the chatDev sources to understand how they achieve agents coordination. Anyway, this is a very cool direction in AI programming.

    I've been developing a vscode extension for agents and I do know about this usage case, but really didn't find a great real-life example for this yet..
