Overview
AutoGPT is an open-source platform for creating, deploying, and managing AI agents that can carry out multi-step tasks with less manual intervention. The project has evolved from its early autonomous-agent experiments into a broader agent platform aimed at helping users build repeatable AI-powered workflows and applications.
Its platform provides components for constructing agents and connecting actions into automated processes. Rather than using an AI model only for individual prompts, users can design workflows in which agents reason about tasks, interact with tools or services, process information, and continue through a sequence of steps toward a larger objective.
AutoGPT is aimed at developers, builders, and organizations experimenting with autonomous or semi-autonomous AI systems. Its open-source ecosystem makes it possible to inspect and extend the underlying technology, while the associated platform provides a more accessible environment for building and operating agents.

The open-source platform for AI agents
AutoGPT lets you build, deploy, and run AI agents that carry out complete workflows. Describe an outcome in plain English or shape every step in the visual builder, then run the agent on demand, on a schedule, or from a trigger.
185,000+ GitHub stars. Cited by:
| “Next frontier of prompt engineering imo: ‘AutoGPTs’.” | Andrej Karpathy, founding member of OpenAI |
| “If you have a phone you can run AutoGPT. You don't even need to learn how to code.” | Amjad Masad, co-founder & CEO of Replit |
| “AutoGPT might be the next big step in AI.” | Lior Alexander, CEO of AlphaSignal |
Four surfaces, one platform
AutoPilot Describe the job in plain English and turn the conversation into a working agent. |
Agents See every agent, run, cost, and action that needs your attention. |
Marketplace Start from proven agents, add one to your library, and customize it for your work. |
Build Drag, connect, branch, and inspect blocks for exact control over every step. |
Get started
AutoGPT Platform — public, hosted, and managed
The hosted Platform is publicly available. We manage the infrastructure, model access, credentials, reliability, and updates so you can focus on the work your agents perform.
Get started on AutoGPT Platform →
- AutoPilot, Agents, Marketplace, and Build
- 45+ connected platforms and hundreds of AI models
- No model API keys or infrastructure setup
- Agents that run on demand, on schedules, and from triggers
The hosted Platform is a paid service with usage-based agent runs. Compare plans and pricing →
Self-host AutoGPT
[!NOTE] Self-hosting is the free path. You provide the infrastructure and model API keys, and you maintain the deployment. If you want zero setup, use the managed Platform.
macOS and Linux:
curl -fsSL https://setup.agpt.co/install.sh -o install.sh && bash install.sh
Windows PowerShell:
powershell -c "iwr https://setup.agpt.co/install.bat -o install.bat; ./install.bat"
Managed Platform vs. self-hosting
| AutoGPT Platform | Self-hosted | |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Public signup | Clone and install |
| Cost | Paid plan plus agent usage | No license fee; pay your own infrastructure and model providers |
| Setup | Managed | Docker and configuration required |
| Model access | Built in | Bring your own API keys |
| Updates and operations | Managed by AutoGPT | Managed by you |
| Core builder and agent runtime | Included | Included |
| Data and infrastructure control | Hosted by AutoGPT | Runs on your infrastructure |
| Support | Plan-dependent | Community support |
Both paths use the same repository. Choose the managed Platform when you want agents running immediately; self-host when infrastructure control matters more than operational convenience.
Why the hosted Platform is paid
Every agent run consumes real model usage, compute, storage, secrets management, and operational support. The managed Platform covers that infrastructure and funds continued development of the open-source project.
Self-hosting remains available without a license fee for people and teams that want to provide and operate those resources themselves.
