FreeAI agents that finish the work
About GitHub
AutoGPT is an open-source platform for building, deploying, and running AI agents that automate complex workflows. Users describe tasks in plain English, and AutoGPT builds the agent, executes it, and delivers results. The platform offers four surfaces: AutoPilot (describe a job and convert conversation into a working agent), Agents (view and manage runs, costs, and actions), Marketplace (browse and customize proven agents), and Build (drag-and-drop visual builder for precise control). It supports self-hosting for free (users provide infrastructure and model API keys) and a managed hosted platform with usage-based pricing. The project has over 185,000 GitHub stars and is cited by AI thought leaders as a next-generation tool.
