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.

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.

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.templateto.envand fill in yourOPENAI_API_KEY. If you plan to use Speech Mode, fill in yourELEVEN_LABS_API_KEYas 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.
- If you want to use GPT on an Azure instance, set
USE_AZUREtoTrueand provide theOPENAI_AZURE_API_BASE,OPENAI_AZURE_API_VERSIONandOPENAI_AZURE_DEPLOYMENT_IDvalues as explained here: https://pypi.org/project/openai/ in theMicrosoft Azure Endpointssection
- Run the
main.pyPython 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.
Use this to use TTS for Auto-GPT
python scripts/main.py --speak
This section is optional, use the official google api if you are having issues with error 429 when running a google search.
To use the google_official_search command, you need to set up your Google API keys in your environment variables.
- Go to the Google Cloud Console.
- If you don't already have an account, create one and log in.
- Create a new project by clicking on the "Select a Project" dropdown at the top of the page and clicking "New Project". Give it a name and click "Create".
- Go to the APIs & Services Dashboard and click "Enable APIs and Services". Search for "Custom Search API" and click on it, then click "Enable".
- Go to the Credentials page and click "Create Credentials". Choose "API Key".
- Copy the API key and set it as an environment variable named
GOOGLE_API_KEYon your machine. See setting up environment variables below. - Go to the Custom Search Engine page and click "Add".
- Set up your search engine by following the prompts. You can choose to search the entire web or specific sites.
- Once you've created your search engine, click on "Control Panel" and then "Basics". Copy the "Search engine ID" and set it as an environment variable named
CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_IDon your machine. See setting up environment variables below.
Remember that your free daily custom search quota allows only up to 100 searches. To increase this limit, you need to assign a billing account to the project to profit from up to 10K daily searches.
For Windows Users:
setx GOOGLE_API_KEY "YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
setx CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID "YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"
For macOS and Linux users:
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
export CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID="YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"
Install docker desktop.
Run:
docker run -d --name redis-stack-server -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack-server:latest
See https://hub.docker.com/r/redis/redis-stack-server for setting a password and additional configuration.
Set the following environment variables:
MEMORY_BACKEND=redis
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_PASSWORD=
Note that this is not intended to be run facing the internet and is not secure, do not expose redis to the internet without a password or at all really.
You can optionally set
WIPE_REDIS_ON_START=False
To persist memory stored in Redis.
You can specify the memory index for redis using the following:
MEMORY_INDEX=whatever
Pinecone enables the storage of vast amounts of vector-based memory, allowing for only relevant memories to be loaded for the agent at any given time.
- Go to app.pinecone.io and make an account if you don't already have one.
- Choose the
Starterplan to avoid being charged. - Find your API key and region under the default project in the left sidebar.
Simply set them in the .env file.
Alternatively, you can set them from the command line (advanced):
For Windows Users:
setx PINECONE_API_KEY "YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY"
setx PINECONE_ENV "Your pinecone region" # something like: us-east4-gcp
For macOS and Linux users:
export PINECONE_API_KEY="YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY"
export PINECONE_ENV="Your pinecone region" # something like: us-east4-gcp
- View memory usage by using the
--debugflag :)
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.pyPython script in your terminal:
python scripts/main.py --continuous
- To exit the program, press Ctrl + C
If you don't have access to the GPT4 api, this mode will allow you to use Auto-GPT!
python scripts/main.py --gpt3only
It is recommended to use a virtual machine for tasks that require high security measures to prevent any potential harm to the main computer's system and data.
By default, Auto-GPT uses DALL-e for image generation. To use Stable Diffusion, a HuggingFace API Token is required.
Once you have a token, set these variables in your .env:
IMAGE_PROVIDER=sd
HUGGINGFACE_API_TOKEN="YOUR_HUGGINGFACE_API_TOKEN"
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!
