AutoGPT
Sign in to saveAutoGPT is an open-source autonomous software agent that uses OpenAI's large language models, such as GPT-4, to attempt to achieve a goal specified by a user in natural language. Unlike chatbots that require continuous user commands, AutoGPT works autonomously by breaking the main goal into smaller sub-tasks and using tools like web browsing and file management to complete them.

AutoGPT is a powerful platform that allows you to create, deploy, and manage continuous AI agents that automate complex workflows. Hosting Options Download to self-host (Free!) Join the Waitlist for the cloud-hosted beta (Closed Beta - Public release Coming Soon!) Setting up and hosting the AutoGPT Platform yourself is a technical process. If you'd rather something that just works, we recommend joining the waitlist for the cloud-hosted beta. Software Requirements Operating Systems: Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 or newer recommended) macOS (10.15 or newer) Windows 10/11 with WSL2 Required Software (with minimum versions): Docker Engine (20.10.0 or newer) Docker Compose (2.0.0 or newer) Git (2.30 or newer) Node.js (16.x or newer) npm (8.x or newer) VSCode (1.60 or newer) or any modern code editor Updated Setup Instructions: We've moved to a fully maintained and regularly updated documentation site. Skip the manual steps and get started in minutes using our automatic setup script. This will install dependencies, configure Docker, and launch your local instance — all in one go. The AutoGPT frontend is where users interact with our powerful AI automation platform. It offers multiple ways to engage with and leverage our AI agents. This is the interface where you'll bring your AI automation ideas to life: Agent Builder: For those who want to customize, our intuitive, low-code interface allows you to design and configure your own AI agents. Workflow Management: Build, modify, and optimize your automation workflows with ease. You build your agent by connecting blocks, where each block performs a single action. Deployment Controls: Manage the lifecycle of your agents, from testing to production. Ready-to-Use Agents: Don't want to build? Simply select from our library of pre-configured agents and put them to work immediately. Agent Interaction: Whether you've built your own or are using pre-configured agents, easily run and interact with them through our user-friendly interface. Monitoring and Analytics: Keep track of your agents' performance and gain insights to continually improve your automation processes. Read this guide to learn how to build your own custom blocks. The AutoGPT Server is the powerhouse of our platform This is where your agents run. Once deployed, agents can be triggered by external sources and can operate continuously. It contains all the essential components that make AutoGPT run smoothly. Source Code: The core logic that drives our agents and automation processes. Marketplace: A comprehensive marketplace where you can find and deploy a wide range of pre-built agents. 1. Generate Viral Videos from Trending Topics This agent reads topics on Reddit. It identifies trending topics. It then automatically creates a short-form video based on the content. These examples show just a glimpse of what you can achieve with AutoGPT! You can create customized workflows to build agents for any use case. 🛡️ Polyform Shield License: All code and content within the autogpt platform folder is licensed under the Polyform Shield License. This new project is our in-developlemt platform for building, deploying and managing agents. Read more about this effort 🦉 MIT License: All other portions of the AutoGPT repository (i.e., everything outside the autogpt platform folder) are licensed under the MIT License. This includes the original stand-alone AutoGPT Agent, along with projects such as Forge, agbenchmark and the AutoGPT Classic GUI. We also publish additional work under the MIT Licence in other repositories, such as GravitasML which is developed for and used in the AutoGPT Platform. See also our MIT Licenced Code Ability project. 🤖 AutoGPT Classic Below is information about the classic version of AutoGPT. Forge your own agent! – Forge is a ready-to-go toolkit to build your own agent application. It handles most of the boilerplate code, letting you channel all your creativity into the things that set your agent apart.

AutoGPT is an open-source autonomous software agent that uses OpenAI's large language models, such as GPT-4, to attempt to achieve a goal specified by a user in natural language. Unlike chatbots that require continuous user commands, AutoGPT works autonomously by breaking the main goal into smaller sub-tasks and using tools like web browsing and file management to complete them.
Released in March 2023, the project quickly gained popularity on GitHub and social media, with users creating agents for tasks like software development, market research, and content creation. One notable experiment, ChaosGPT, was tasked with destroying humanity, which brought mainstream attention to the technology's potential. However, AutoGPT is known for significant limitations, including a tendency to get stuck in loops, hallucinate information, and incur high operational costs due to its reliance on paid APIs.
