OCTO-VEC: Open-source virtual software company with 24 AI agents
What OCTO-VEC does
OCTO-VEC simulates a real software company with AI agents. You talk to the Project Manager (Arjun), who breaks down your request and delegates to specialist agents. These agents write real files, run automated security scans, commit code with per-agent git identity, and document everything.
Agent structure
9 default agents: PM (Arjun), Architect, BA, Researcher, Developer, QA, Security Engineer, DevOps, Tech Writer.
15 hirable agents on-demand from Dashboard Directory: Frontend Dev, Backend Dev, Mobile Dev, ML Engineer, DBA, SRE, UI/UX Designer, Scrum Master, Compliance Officer, Release Manager, Data Analyst, Support Engineer and more.
Key features
- Three-tier persistent memory: session / daily journals / permanent
- Sunset/Sunrise daily lifecycle — agents journal at end of day, wake up informed
- Real-time dashboard with 10 views: Kanban, Live stream, Network graph, Finance, Snoop...
- 22+ LLM providers with per-agent model configuration
- CLI + Telegram + Slack + Discord channels

- Per-agent cost tracking in Finance dashboard
- MCP support, self-hosted, MIT licensed

Technical details
