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.

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.

What you can automate

Area	Example
Executive operations	Prepare a daily brief from internal and external signals
Sales	Research every account before tomorrow's meetings
Marketing	Turn a launch brief into campaign drafts across channels
Engineering	Triage incidents and start with a likely cause
Customer support	Draft replies, collect context, and flag escalations
Research	Monitor sources and return structured reports when something changes
