What Is AutoGPT? - Explained Simply

Key Takeaways

what is auto GPT why is everyone talking about it and how will it change the world in this video I'll answer all of that using simple easy to understand language if you thought that chat GPT was impressive wait until you see what's coming my name is David Andre and here is everything you need to know about Auto GPT first off why is auto GPT so popular I would say the main reason is is because it can do tasks completely on its own that's right this is an autonomous AI that can create plans and execute on them but there is more Auto GPT also has short term and long-term memory that makes it much more effective than chai GPT which is known for its horrible memory you're probably starting to see why this new AI is such a big deal auto GPT has the potential to completely eliminate the boring and repetitive work but how are people using Auto GPT what are its real world applications perhaps the most revolutionary use of Auto gbt is making it your personal assistant it's great at doing Simple tasks like scheduling appointments managing calendars responding to emails and so on I've also seen people use it to plan their wedding asking it to find the venue hire a wedding photographer and even design the invitations I legit feel like we're living in the future alright so how does Auto GPT actually work and in what ways is it different from chai gbd Auto gbd utilizes the latest language model from openai gpd4 but the way Auto GPT is structured is actually genius this might look complicated but it's surprisingly simple there are three main AIS that work together first there is a task creation agent which adds new things to the task queue then you have a task prioritization agent cleaning the task lists and prioritizing the most important things and lastly there is the execution agent whose job is to actually do the work this unique structure is what makes Auto GPT so impressive and as far as chair GPT goes it can really compare first off it doesn't have the ability to create a plan and execute on it auto GPT on the other hand only needs to know your goal once it knows what you want it will immediately get to work Auto GPT also has access to the internet meaning it can look up the latest information download images and even output audio it's also much better at multitasking than chatgpt you can give it up to 5 goals at a time which is pretty crazy but there are also some serious dangers related to Auto GPT I mean this is an AI that can write code save it as a file and then run that file if that doesn't scare you a bit then I don't know what does you'd think that an AI of this caliber would take months if not years to develop but no it was made in just three days that's absolutely wild considering it is the most popular project on GitHub receiving over 120 000 Stars this month alone so who is the creator of this incredible tool it's a team of people who call themselves significant gravitas and their mission is to build an autonomous agent capable of accomplishing complex tasks on its own that agent is auto GPT and the creators hope that it will better the world so what do you need to do to start using Auto GPT I wanted to do a full in-depth tutorial but there are already so many setup guides out there so I'll just link the one I like the most in the description now the pricing of Auto gbt is quite interesting you pay based on how much you use it it costs 3 cents per 1000 tokens for prompting and 6 cents per 1000 tokens for results and if you don't know what tokens are it's basically three quarters of a word so 1 000 tokens is roughly 750 words to give you a more concrete example I found people already discussing this some people paid two dollars a day others closer to 10. it really depends on the usage but despite all the hype Auto GPT still has some serious limitations for example it has a tendency to waste a lot of time researching pointless things other people have complained that other GPT tends to open programs like notepad which it doesn't know how to use it also often gets stuck in a vicious Loop and once it does you'll have to manually stop it right now Auto GPT still feels very clumsy but I think people have unrealistic expectations wanting Auto GPT to immediately solve all of their problems like it's barely been a month since it was released imagine how good it will be 6 months from now
