AutoGPT

AutoGPT is an open-source experimental application that uses GPT-4 to achieve autonomous goals through multi-step workflows. Created by Toran Bruce Richards in March 2023, it's the most popular autonomous agent repository on GitHub. Features internet access, memory management, file operations, and extensible plugin system. 2025 improvements include better step limits and human-in-the-loop feedback to prevent costly API spirals. Perfect for complex, multi-step automation where traditional scripting falls short. The vision: accessible AI for everyone to use and build on.
