What is AutoGPT?
AutoGPT, built on OpenAI’s GPT-4, is an autonomous agent capable of searching the internet in structured ways, creating subtasks, and launching new agents to complete them.
It can write its own code and recursively debug, develop, and self-improve the code. AutoGPT can tackle complex problems requiring long-term planning and multiple steps, making it ideal for helping you complete the boring tasks you usually hate to do.
Real-World Use Cases of AutoGPT
Self-Completing To-Do Lists
AutoGPT can create to-do lists that complete tasks automatically. As you add tasks, GPT-4 agents are spawned to complete them with context about you and your company, and can access your apps. The result is a seamless workflow that reduces manual input.
Over the weekend I finished the to-do list that does itself.

Everytime you add a task, a GPT-4 agent is spawned to complete it. It already has the context it needs on you and your company, and has access to your apps.

Building Apps
AutoGPT can build web applications, download necessary software, and set up servers. All you need to do is watch as the agent takes care of the entire process.
autogpt was trying to create an app for me, recognized I don't have Node, googled how to install Node, found a stackoverflow article with link, downloaded it, extracted it, and then spawned the server for me.
