Auto-GPT: An Autonomous GPT-4 Experiment

Auto-GPT is an experimental open-source application showcasing the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model. This program, driven by GPT-4, autonomously develops and manages businesses to increase net worth. As one of the first examples of GPT-4 running fully autonomously, Auto-GPT pushes the boundaries of what is possible with AI.

💾 Installation

To install Auto-GPT, follow these steps:

0. Make sure you have all the requirements above, if not, install/get them.

The following commands should be executed in a CMD, Bash or Powershell window. To do this, go to a folder on your computer, click in the folder path at the top and type CMD, then press enter.

1. Clone the repository: For this step you need Git installed, but you can just download the zip file instead by clicking the button at the top of this page ☝️

git clone https://github.com/Torantulino/Auto-GPT.git

2. Navigate to the project directory: (Type this into your CMD window, you're aiming to navigate the CMD window to the repository you just downloaded)

$ cd 'Auto-GPT'

3. Install the required dependencies: (Again, type this into your CMD window)

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Rename .env.template to .env and fill in your OPENAI_API_KEY. If you plan to use Speech Mode, fill in your ELEVEN_LABS_API_KEY as well.

• Obtain your OpenAI API key from: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.
• Obtain your ElevenLabs API key from: https://elevenlabs.io. You can view your xi-api-key using the "Profile" tab on the website.
• If you want to use GPT on an Azure instance, set USE_AZURE to True and provide the OPENAI_API_BASE, OPENAI_API_VERSION and OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_ID values as explained here: https://pypi.org/project/openai/ in the Microsoft Azure Endpoints section

🔧 Usage

1. Run the main.py Python script in your terminal: (Type this into your CMD window)

python scripts/main.py

2. After each of AUTO-GPT's actions, type "NEXT COMMAND" to authorise them to continue.
3. To exit the program, type "exit" and press Enter.

🗣️ Speech Mode

Use this to use TTS for Auto-GPT

python scripts/main.py --speak

🔍 Google API Keys Configuration

This section is optional, use the official google api if you are having issues with error 429 when running google search. To use the google_official_search command, you need to set up your Google API keys in your environment variables.

1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
2. If you don't already have an account, create one and log in.
3. Create a new project by clicking on the "Select a Project" dropdown at the top of the page and clicking "New Project". Give it a name and click "Create".
4. Go to the APIs & Services Dashboard and click "Enable APIs and Services". Search for "Custom Search API" and click on it, then click "Enable".
5. Go to the Credentials page and click "Create Credentials". Choose "API Key".
6. Copy the API key and set it as an environment variable named GOOGLE_API_KEY on your machine. See setting up environment variables below.
7. Go to the Custom Search Engine page and click "Add".
8. Set up your search engine by following the prompts. You can choose to search the entire web or specific sites.
9. Once you've created your search engine, click on "Control Panel" and then "Basics". Copy the "Search engine ID" and set it as an environment variable named CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID on your machine. See setting up environment variables below.

Setting up environment variables

For Windows Users:

setx GOOGLE_API_KEY "YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
setx CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID "YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"

For macOS and Linux users:

export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
export CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID="YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"

🌲 Pinecone API Key Setup

Pinecone enable a vector based memory so a vast memory can be stored and only relevant memories are loaded for the agent at any given time.

1. Go to app.pinecone.io and make an account if you don't already have one.
2. Choose the Starter plan to avoid being charged.
3. Find your API key and region under the default project in the left sidebar.

Setting up environment variables

For Windows Users:

setx PINECONE_API_KEY "YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY"
export PINECONE_ENV="Your pinecone region" # something like: us-east4-gcp

For macOS and Linux users:

export PINECONE_API_KEY="YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY"
export PINECONE_ENV="Your pinecone region" # something like: us-east4-gcp

Or you can set them in the .env file.

View Memory Usage

1. View memory usage by using the --debug flag :)

💀 Continuous Mode ⚠️

Run the AI without user authorisation, 100% automated. Continuous mode is not recommended. It is potentially dangerous and may cause your AI to run forever or carry out actions you would not usually authorise. Use at your own risk.

1. Run the main.py Python script in your terminal:

python scripts/main.py --continuous

2. To exit the program, press Ctrl + C

GPT3.5 ONLY Mode

If you don't have access to the GPT4 api, this mode will allow you to use Auto-GPT!

python scripts/main.py --gpt3only

🖼 Image Generation

By default, Auto-GPT uses DALL-e for image generation. To use Stable Diffusion, a HuggingFace API Token is required.

Once you have a token, set these variables in your .env:

IMAGE_PROVIDER=sd
HUGGINGFACE_API_TOKEN="YOUR_HUGGINGFACE_API_TOKEN"

⚠️ Limitations

This experiment aims to showcase the potential of GPT-4 but comes with some limitations:

1. Not a polished application or product, just an experiment
2. May not perform well in complex, real-world business scenarios. In fact, if it actually does, please share your results!
3. Quite expensive to run, so set and monitor your API key limits with OpenAI!
