Why ChatDev Developers Need AgentGenome
ChatDev simulates software companies with distinct roles. AgentGenome profiles role boundaries, collaboration patterns, and communication quality—ensuring clear roles regardless of LLM.
Multi-Role Agents Have Confusion
CEO, CTO, Developer—roles can blur. Without profiling, role boundary violations go unnoticed.
Role Communication Quality Varies
How well do your roles communicate? AgentGenome captures inter-role communication effectiveness.
Role Patterns Are LLM-Dependent
Role-playing quality varies across LLMs. Can you maintain clear roles regardless of provider?
Phase Transitions Need Consistency
ChatDev moves through phases. Phase transition quality affects output. AgentGenome tracks transition patterns.
"Sound familiar?"
AgentGenome Solves Every Problem

Real Results with AgentGenome
How RolePlay Made Multi-Role Agents Portable
The Challenge
RolePlay's ChatDev-based simulation had achieved excellent role clarity on GPT-4. When costs became prohibitive, they needed to migrate without losing the role boundaries their clients valued.
The Solution
AgentGenome profiled role boundaries, communication patterns, and phase transitions. The role genome was deployed on cost-effective alternatives.
"Role clarity is what our clients pay for. Genome profiling proved we could keep it regardless of LLM."

Without vs With AgentGenome
| Aspect | Without AgentGenome | With AgentGenome |
|---|---|---|
| Debugging Time | 4+ hours per incident | 52 minutes average (-78%) |
| Token Efficiency | Unknown waste | 35% average savings |
| Behavioral Visibility | Black box | Full trait analysis |
| Drift Detection | Discover in production | Catch before deployment |
| Agent Portability | 🔒 Locked to ChatDev | 🔓 Deploy on any LLM |
| Migration Time | 4-6 weeks per provider | Hours with genome export |
| Migration Cost | $47K+ engineering | Included in Pro tier |
| Multi-Provider Strategy | Rebuild for each | One genome, all providers |
| Future-Proofing | Start over when models change | Take your genome with you |
| Vendor Negotiation | No leverage (locked in) | Full leverage (can leave) |
The Cost of Waiting
💸 Financial Lock-In
- ChatDev pricing has increased multiple times since launch
- Without portable profiles, you pay whatever they charge
- Migration estimate without AgentGenome: $47K and 8 weeks
⚠️ Strategic Lock-In
- Better alternatives might exist—but can you actually switch?
- Your competitors are profiling for portability right now
- When you need to migrate, will you be ready?
🔒 The Vendor Lock-In Tax
- 4-6 weeks of engineering to migrate unprofiled agents
- 40%+ behavioral drift during manual migration
- Zero leverage in pricing negotiations
📉 Competitive Disadvantage
- Competitors with portable profiles ship 80% faster
- They negotiate contracts with leverage—you don't
- They test new models in hours; you take months
"Every day without profiling locks you deeper into ChatDev."
When ChatDev raises prices or a better model launches, will you be ready to leave?

Already Locked Into ChatDev?
Here's how to escape with your behavioral DNA intact
Profile Your Current Agent
Add 3 lines of code to capture your ChatDev agent's behavioral DNA. No changes to your existing logic.
Export Your Genome
One command exports your substrate-independent genome. It works on any LLM provider, not just ChatDev.
