Thank you to everyone who joined the **August CHT Community Meetup**! Below is a summary of the key updates and discussions from the session. **1. Squad updates** **a) CHT multi-agent system** The Multi-Agent System community team is developing an AI-assisted system to support CHT development, troubleshooting and bug fixing. The system uses a layered architecture with supervised checkpoints across multiple phases: - Research layer: researches and retrieves relevant CHT documentation. - Development layer: generates code and tests to address identified issues and needs - QA Supervisor: validates the generated code and tests. During the Meetup, @hareet showcased how the system could identify and fix a pregnancy workflow bug. The Research Supervisor can triage a reported CHT issue, query the MCP server, and generate a fully grounded GitHub issue then the multi-agent systems is able to proceed to build a fix and test it. The beta version is now ready, it supports different AI models and can run offline. **b) Total cost of ownership reduction work** The group has continued to explore ways to reduce CHT hosting cost and improve CHT performance. Recent and ongoing improvements include: - Replication logs for large users, released in CHT v5.2. - Archiving and index optimizations, which are expected to reduce disk-space requirements and improve synchronization times for CHWs. **c) Smart task prioritization.** The enhancement to support geolocation capture in contact forms is ready and will be included in the next CHT release. The [Smart Task Prioritization – Phase 2](https://forum.communityhealthtoolkit.org/t/smart-task-prioritization-v1/5718) has also kicked off. If you are interested in contributing, please consider joining the squad weekly meeting every Wednesday at 1pm GMT. **d) CHT Resources Revamp** The squad is working on improving the [CHT Demo App](https://demo-cht.dev.medicmobile.org/) experience by adding an ICCM use case, making it easier for users to explore CHT capabilities through a practical ICCM implementation. **2. Improving contributor experience** The community has been working on PR process improvements to provide contributors with automated, early feedback when they submit a pull request. The new GitHub actions will help guide contributors by automatically checking whether: - The PR follows the required template. - The PR is linked to an existing issue. - The PR is assigned to the author. These checks should make the contribution process smoother and help contributors address common issues earlier in the review process. 🙏 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.communityhealthtoolkit.org/t/2026-cht-community-meetups-notes/5490)._
