ChatDev is a Chrome plugin that integrates multiple large model interfaces, with its core set against the backdrop of an AI town. It empowers each NPC with interactive capabilities through these large model interfaces.

You can use it to explore different experiences of various large models in gaming or create a set of your own life memories in the AI town by selecting your favorite large model.

• When you first enter the town, the large model will ask for your name based on your language environment. Simply input your name in the text box, and the large model will use it to address you in future conversations.
• Use the arrow keys on your keyboard (up, down, left, right) to control the player's movements. When the player approaches an NPC, the NPC will initiate a new conversation based on the current situation and historical dialogue information (the player will automatically follow).
• When the player moves away from an NPC by a certain distance, the NPC will summarize the current conversation and store it in the browser's LocalStorage for use in future chats.
• As you approach different areas (e.g., gym, university) or different locations within those areas (e.g., tables, computers, bookshelves), the large model will ask if you want to record your current location. You can respond to record the location, and the record will be summarily stored in LocalStorage once you leave that location.

• You need to install the plugin in the Chrome or Edge browser and log in to your account on the corresponding large model's website.
