Auto-GPT is an experimental open-source project that allows you to define a specific role (e.g., “book market analyst”) and a bunch of goals (e.g., “research the most successful sci-fi novels of 2022”, “summarize them”, “save the summary to a file," etc.) and let GPT-4 automatically create and perform all the necessary tasks that are needed to achieve your goals. That includes:
- doing research via search engines
- browse websites
- scrape data
- store files locally
- using long-term memory
- spawning new instances of GPT-3.5 bots with special roles to accomplish sub-tasks (!)

The results you get are mind-blowing.
AutoGPT is an experimental project, that is, it has its bugs and flaws, especially when faced with new and not-so-common roles and goal descriptions, but it’s already a tremendous showcase of GPT-4’s capabilities and the potential of a modular approach to combine…
