🐟 MarketFish Don't guess. Simulate. Before you launch, let hundreds of AI consumers vote with their wallets.

MarketFish is a multi-agent market simulation engine. Instead of asking one LLM "will this product succeed?", it builds a digital market with 128+ AI consumers — each with their own identity, budget, emotions, and biases — and lets them shop across 30 rounds. Their purchase decisions, churn patterns, and social influence reveal what real users would do. Built on 6 academic papers (Generative Agents, OASIS, TwinMarket, Agent Bazaar, EconSimulacra, SMIF) and 11 LLM providers. 中文文档 Quick Start git clone https://github.com/Key-wxh/market-fish.git cd market-fish cp .env.example .env # Edit .env — add at least ONE LLM API key (DeepSeek is cheapest) pip install -r requirements.txt streamlit run streamlit_app.py Open http://localhost:8501 → pick a mode → run. Screenshots

How It Works Seed Data (static JSON) → 5-Stage Pipeline 1. Ontology — extract market structure 2. Knowledge Graph — entities, relationships, pain points 3. Agent Factory — 128 heterogeneous AI consumers (6 LLMs) 4. Simulation — 30 rounds: decisions, coupling, RL, memory 5. Report — evidence: who bought, why, what killed competitors

vs MiroFish MiroFish (5.5k ⭐) is the most well-known multi-agent simulation engine. Both projects simulate social/market behavior with AI agents — but with different focuses:

MiroFish MarketFish

Scope General-purpose social simulation Product market prediction

Architecture Flask + Node.js + Docker Streamlit single-app

Memory Zep Cloud (external service) Built-in (local JSON, zero external deps)

LLMs OpenAI-compatible only 11 providers (China + Global)
