What it does
Raven acts as a host agent that plans a big task, splits it into steps and hands them to other agents. Built-in agents cover research, coding, visual design and unattended automation.
Its makers show examples such as a video game, a product launch kit and experiments where Raven works on improving itself.
The README says Raven is pre-alpha, so its features and settings may change quickly.
