Auto-GPT: An Autonomous GPT-4 Experiment
Auto-GPT is an experimental open-source application showcasing the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model. This program, driven by GPT-4, autonomously develops and manages businesses to increase net worth. As one of the first examples of GPT-4 running fully autonomously, Auto-GPT pushes the boundaries of what is possible with AI.

💖 Help Fund Auto-GPT's Development
If you can spare a coffee, you can help to cover the API costs of developing Auto-GPT and help push the boundaries of fully autonomous AI!
A full day of development can easily cost as much as $20 in API costs, which for a free project is quite limiting.
Your support is greatly appreciated
Development of this free, open-source project is made possible by all the contributors and sponsors. If you'd like to sponsor this project and have your avatar or company logo appear below click here. 💖

💾 Installation
To install Auto-GPT, follow these steps:
- Make sure you have all the requirements above, if not, install/get them.
The following commands should be executed in a CMD, Bash or Powershell window. To do this, go to a folder on your computer, click in the folder path at the top and type CMD, then press enter.
- Clone the repository:
For this step you need Git installed, but you can just download the zip file instead by clicking the button at the top of this page ☝️
git clone https://github.com/Torantulino/Auto-GPT.git
- Navigate to the project directory:
(Type this into your CMD window, you're aiming to navigate the CMD window to the repository you just downloaded)
$ cd 'Auto-GPT'
- Install the required dependencies:
(Again, type this into your CMD window)
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Rename
.env.template to .env and fill in your OPENAI_API_KEY. If you plan to use Speech Mode, fill in your ELEVEN_LABS_API_KEY as well.
- Obtain your OpenAI API key from: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.
- Obtain your ElevenLabs API key from: https://elevenlabs.io. You can view your xi-api-key using the "Profile" tab on the website.
🔧 Usage
- Run the
main.py Python script in your terminal:
(Type this into your CMD window)
python scripts/main.py
- After each of AUTO-GPT's actions, type "NEXT COMMAND" to authorise them to continue.
- To exit the program, type "exit" and press Enter.
🗣️ Speech Mode
Use this to use TTS for Auto-GPT
python scripts/main.py speak-mode
💀 Continuous Mode ⚠️
Run the AI without user authorisation, 100% automated.
Continuous mode is not recommended.
It is potentially dangerous and may cause your AI to run forever or carry out actions you would not usually authorise.
Use at your own risk.
- Run the
main.py Python script in your terminal:
python scripts/main.py continuous-mode
- To exit the program, press Ctrl + C
⚠️ Limitations
This experiment aims to showcase the potential of GPT-4 but comes with some limitations:
- Not a polished application or product, just an experiment
- May not perform well in complex, real-world business scenarios. In fact, if it actually does, please share your results!
- Quite expensive to run, so set and monitor your API key limits with OpenAI!
