What is AutoGPT?

AutoGPT is an open-source autonomous AI agent project powered by GPT models. Users simply set a goal, and the AI autonomously breaks down tasks and works toward the objective by combining web browsing, file operations, code execution, and API calls. With over 160,000 GitHub stars, it is widely known as a pioneer of autonomous AI agents. It has evolved into the AutoGPT Platform, offering a no-code builder for constructing AI agent workflows. It excels at automating repetitive complex tasks such as market research, content creation, data collection and analysis, and coding assistance. Being open source, it can be freely operated on your own servers and customized.
