AutoGPT: An Autonomous GPT-4 AI (AGI?)

[BigFoot]

A Glimpse into Artificial General Intelligence

AutoGPT is an experimental open-source application showcasing the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model. Driven by GPT-4 on the backend, it autonomously develops and manages businesses to increase net worth, pushing the boundaries of what is possible with AI.

Key Features of AutoGPT

• Internet access: The model can search the internet and gather information for any given task.
• Memory management: It has both long-term and short-term memory management, similar to a chatbot.
• Text generation and reasoning: GPT-4 is responsible for generating text and reasoning.
• Integration with ElevenLabs: AutoGPT can convert text into speech using ElevenLabs API.

Goal-Oriented AI: A Creative Task

In this demo, the user defines three goals:

1. Invent an original and out-of-the-box recipe for a current event.
2. Save the resulting recipe to a file.
3. Shut down upon achieving the goal.

AutoGPT searches the internet for upcoming events, selects a suitable event (in this case, Earth Day), and creates a unique recipe tailored to the event.

Autonomous Software Development

AutoGPT is tasked with improving a Python code file, writing tests, and fixing errors. It evaluates the code for syntax and logic issues, writes unit tests, fixes any issues, and saves the improved code and tests to a file. This demonstrates its potential to revolutionize the software development process.

Twitter Bot Networking

AutoGPT can autonomously manage a Twitter account, following similar accounts, increasing visibility, and engaging with relevant users in a specific niche. It can also create and post blog posts to increase engagement.

Running AutoGPT Locally

To run AutoGPT on your local machine, you'll need:

1. Python 3.7+ installed.
2. An OpenAI API key.
3. (Optional) An ElevenLabs API key for text-to-speech capabilities.

Clone the repo, install the required packages, update your API key in the environment file, and run the provided script to get started.

Note: AutoGPT is not a polished application and may not perform well in complex business scenarios. Running GPT-4 can also be expensive.
