-AutoGPT is an open-source autonomous agent platform that leverages large language models to chain together LLM calls in order to autonomously achieve user-defined goals. Created by Toran Bruce Richards and released in March 2023, it was one of the first widely adopted demonstrations of a fully [[autonomous_agents|autonomous AI agent]]. With over 168,000 GitHub stars, AutoGPT has evolved from an experimental script into a mature platform for building, deploying, and running autonomous agents.+AutoGPT is an open-source autonomous agent platform that leverages large language models to chain together LLM calls in order to autonomously achieve user-defined goals.

 AutoGPT demonstrated that LLMs could be embedded in autonomous loops to pursue multi-step goals without continuous human guidance. It catalyzed the broader [[autonomous_agents|autonomous agent]] movement of 2023-2025, inspiring projects like [[babyagi|BabyAGI]], [[agentgpt|AgentGPT]], and numerous enterprise agent platforms. Its emphasis on benchmarking through AgentBench also established evaluation standards for the field. AutoGPT demonstrated that LLMs could be embedded in autonomous loops to pursue multi-step goals without continuous human guidance.
