# AutoGPT Documentation

Welcome to the AutoGPT Documentation.

The AutoGPT project consists of four main components:

* The [Agent](#-agent) – also known as just "AutoGPT"
* The [Benchmark](#-benchmark) – AKA `agbenchmark`
* The [Forge](#-forge)
* The [Frontend](#-frontend)

To tie these together, we also have a CLI at the root of the project.

## 🤖 Agent

**[📖 About AutoGPT](AutoGPT/index.md)**
 | 
**[🔧 Setup](AutoGPT/setup/index.md)**
 | 
**[💻 Usage](AutoGPT/usage.md)**

The heart of AutoGPT, and the project that kicked it all off: a semi-autonomous agent powered by LLMs to execute any task for you*.

We continue to develop this project with the goal of providing access to AI assistance to the masses, and building the future transparently and together.

- 💡 **Explore** - See what AI can do and be inspired by a glimpse of the future.

- 🚀 **Build with us** - We welcome any input, whether it's code or ideas for new features or improvements! Join us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/autogpt) and find out how you can join in on the action.

<small>* it isn't quite there yet, but that is the ultimate goal that we are still pursuing</small>

## 🎯 Benchmark

**[🗒️ Readme](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/blob/master/benchmark/README.md)**

Measure your agent's performance! The `agbenchmark` can be used with any agent that supports the agent protocol, and the integration with the project's CLI makes it even easier to use with AutoGPT and forge-based agents. The benchmark offers a stringent testing environment. Our framework allows for autonomous, objective performance evaluations, ensuring your agents are primed for real-world action.

<!-- TODO: insert visual demonstrating the benchmark -->

- 📦 [**`agbenchmark`**](https://pypi.org/project/agbenchmark/) on Pypi

- 🔌 **Agent Protocol Standardization** - AutoGPT uses the agent protocol from the AI Engineer Foundation to ensure compatibility with many agents, both from within and outside the project.
