5dive
5dive is an open-source framework that enables users to run a simulated company of AI agents on their own server. Each agent can be assigned a unique role, personality, and underlying language model, with persistent memory to maintain context across interactions. The agents are organized in an organizational chart and share a common task backlog, allowing them to hand off work to one another based on expertise. The system orchestrates multi-agent collaboration by managing task queues and agent-to-agent communication, aiming to automate complex workflows. When tasks exceed the agents' capabilities or require human judgment, the system escalates to a human operator via Telegram, providing a seamless human-in-the-loop mechanism. Designed for self-hosting, 5dive gives users full control over data privacy and infrastructure. It can be integrated into existing enterprise or personal environments, making it suitable for a range of applications such as software development teams, customer support, and research assistance. The open-source nature allows for customization and extension, encouraging community contributions and adaptation to specific organizational needs.
