AgentForge platform teaches novices AI collaboration in software engineering

Researchers have developed AgentForge, an immersive learning platform designed to help novice developers understand and collaborate with agentic AI in software engineering. The system allows users to take on specific roles like Task Planner, Patch Author, Code Reviewer, or Test Runner, while AI agents handle the remaining roles in a code-repair workflow. A study with 37 novice developers showed that while the Code Reviewer role was perceived as most challenging, participants significantly improved their understanding of software repair and agent collaboration.
