AutoGPT

Overview

AutoGPT is an autonomous AI agent that chains together LLM calls to accomplish complex tasks. It can browse the web, execute code, manage files, and iteratively work toward goals with minimal human intervention.

Problem It Solves

Eliminates the need for constant human prompting when working with LLMs on multi-step tasks. Users can define a high-level goal and AutoGPT autonomously breaks it down and executes sub-tasks.

Target Audience: Developers, researchers, and automation enthusiasts who want to experiment with autonomous AI systems and automate complex workflows.

Example Workflow

1. 1 User defines a goal in natural language
2. 2 AutoGPT analyzes the goal and creates initial sub-tasks
3. 3 Agent selects and executes appropriate actions (web search, code execution, file operations)
4. 4 Results are evaluated and next steps determined
5. 5 Process repeats until goal is achieved or user intervenes
6. 6 Final results and artifacts are presented to user

Sample System Prompt

              You are AutoGPT, an autonomous AI assistant. Your goal is: {user_goal}

You have access to these tools:
- web_search: Search the internet for information
- write_file: Create or modify files
- execute_code: Run Python code
- read_file: Read file contents

Think step by step. For each action, explain your reasoning, execute the action, and evaluate the result before proceeding.
