Usage

  1. Run the autogpt Python module in your terminal.
  • On Linux/MacOS:
    ./run.sh
    
  • On Windows:
    .\run.bat
    
    Running with --help after .\run.bat lists all the possible command line arguments you can pass.
  1. After each response from Auto-GPT, choose from the options to authorize command(s), exit the program, or provide feedback to the AI.
    1. Authorize a single command by entering y
    2. Authorize a series of N continuous commands by entering y -N. For example, entering y -10 would run 10 automatic iterations.
    3. Enter any free text to give feedback to Auto-GPT.
    4. Exit the program by entering n

Command Line Arguments

Here are some common arguments you can use when running Auto-GPT:

Replace anything in angled brackets (<>) to a value you want to specify

  • View all available command line arguments
    python -m autogpt --help
    
  • Run Auto-GPT with a different AI Settings file
    python -m autogpt --ai-settings <filename>
    
  • Specify a memory backend
    python -m autogpt --use-memory  <memory-backend>
    

Note

: There are shorthands for some of these flags, for example -m for --use-memory. Use python -m autogpt --help for more information

Speak Mode

Enter this command to use TTS (Text-to-Speech) for Auto-GPT

python -m autogpt --speak

💀 Continuous Mode ⚠️

Run the AI without user authorization, 100% automated. Continuous mode is NOT recommended. It is potentially dangerous and may cause your AI to run forever or carry out actions you would not usually authorize. Use at your own risk.

  1. Run the autogpt python module in your terminal:

    python -m autogpt --continuous
    
  2. To exit the program, press Ctrl + C

GPT3.5 ONLY Mode

If you don't have access to the GPT4 api, this mode will allow you to use Auto-GPT!

python -m autogpt --gpt3only

GPT4 ONLY Mode

If you do have access to the GPT4 api, this mode will allow you to use Auto-GPT solely using the GPT-4 API for increased intelligence (and cost!)

python -m autogpt --gpt4only
