Comprehensive platform for building, deploying, and managing continuous AI agents through a visual interface or development toolkit.
Use AutoGPT when:
Key features:
Use alternatives instead:
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT.git
cd AutoGPT/autogpt_platform
# Copy environment file
cp .env.example .env
# Start backend services
docker compose up -d --build
# Start frontend (in separate terminal)
cd frontend
cp .env.example .env
npm install
npm run dev
AutoGPT has two main systems:
Agents are represented as graphs containing nodes connected by links:
Graph (Agent)
├── Node (Input)
│ └── Block (AgentInputBlock)
├── Node (Process)
│ └── Block (LLMBlock)
├── Node (Decision)
│ └── Block (SmartDecisionMaker)
└── Node (Output)
└── Block (AgentOutputBlock)
Blocks are reusable functional components:
| Block Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
INPUT | Agent entry points |
OUTPUT | Agent outputs |
AI | LLM calls, text generation |
WEBHOOK | External triggers |
STANDARD | General operations |
AGENT | Nested agent execution |
User/Trigger → Graph Execution → Node Execution → Block.execute()
↓ ↓ ↓

AI Blocks:
AITextGeneratorBlock - Generate text with LLMsAIConversationBlock - Multi-turn conversationsSmartDecisionMakerBlock - Conditional logicIntegration Blocks:
Control Blocks:
Manual execution:
POST /api/v1/graphs/{graph_id}/execute
Content-Type: application/json
{
"inputs": {
"input_name": "value"
}
}
Webhook trigger:
POST /api/v1/webhooks/{webhook_id}
Content-Type: application/json
{
"data": "webhook payload"
}
Scheduled execution:
{
"schedule": "0 */2 * * *",
"graph_id": "graph-uuid",
"inputs": {}
}
WebSocket updates:
const ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8001/ws');
ws.onmessage = (event) => {
const update = JSON.parse(event.data);
console.log(`Node ${update.node_id}: ${update.status}`);
};
REST API polling:
GET /api/v1/executions/{execution_id}

# Run all benchmarks
./run benchmark
# Run specific category
./run benchmark --category coding
# Run with specific agent
./run benchmark --agent my-agent
Benchmarks use recorded HTTP responses for reproducibility:
# Record new cassettes
./run benchmark --record
# Run with existing cassettes
./run benchmark --playback
Blocks automatically access user credentials:
class MyLLMBlock(Block):
def execute(self, inputs):
# Credentials are injected by the system
credentials = self.get_credentials("openai")
client = OpenAI(api_key=credentials.api_key)
# ...
| Provider | Auth Type | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | API Key | LLM, embeddings |
| Anthropic | API Key | Claude models |
| GitHub | OAuth | Code, repos |
| OAuth | Drive, Gmail, Calendar | |
| Discord | Bot Token | Messaging |
| Notion | OAuth | Documents |
