Auto-GPT: An Autonomous GPT-4 Experiment

🔴 🔴 🔴 Urgent: USE `stable` not `master` 🔴 🔴 🔴

We've improved our workflow. master will often be in a broken state. Download the latest stable release here: https://github.com/Torantulino/Auto-GPT/releases/latest This information SUPERCEDES any following information. Takes precedence. Do this not that.

Auto-GPT is an experimental open-source application showcasing the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model. This program, driven by GPT-4, chains together LLM "thoughts", to autonomously achieve whatever goal you set. As one of the first examples of GPT-4 running fully autonomously, Auto-GPT pushes the boundaries of what is possible with AI.

Use this to use TTS for Auto-GPT

python -m autogpt --speak

OpenAI API Keys Configuration

Obtain your OpenAI API key from: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.

To use OpenAI API key for Auto-GPT, you NEED to have billing set up (AKA paid account).

You can set up paid account at https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/overview.

🔍 Google API Keys Configuration

This section is optional, use the official google api if you are having issues with error 429 when running a google search. To use the google_official_search command, you need to set up your Google API keys in your environment variables.

Go to the Google Cloud Console.
If you don't already have an account, create one and log in.
Create a new project by clicking on the "Select a Project" dropdown at the top of the page and clicking "New Project". Give it a name and click "Create".
Go to the APIs & Services Dashboard and click "Enable APIs and Services". Search for "Custom Search API" and click on it, then click "Enable".
Go to the Credentials page and click "Create Credentials". Choose "API Key".
Copy the API key and set it as an environment variable named GOOGLE_API_KEY on your machine. See setting up environment variables below.
Enable the Custom Search API on your project. (Might need to wait few minutes to propagate)
Go to the Custom Search Engine page and click "Add".
Set up your search engine by following the prompts. You can choose to search the entire web or specific sites.
Once you've created your search engine, click on "Control Panel" and then "Basics". Copy the "Search engine ID" and set it as an environment variable named CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID on your machine. See setting up environment variables below.

Remember that your free daily custom search quota allows only up to 100 searches. To increase this limit, you need to assign a billing account to the project to profit from up to 10K daily searches.

Setting up environment variables

For Windows Users:

setx GOOGLE_API_KEY "YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
setx CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID "YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"

For macOS and Linux users:

export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
export CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID="YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"

Memory Backend Setup

Setup any one backend to persist memory.

Redis Setup

Install docker desktop.

Run:

docker run -d --name redis-stack-server -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack-server:latest

See https://hub.docker.com/r/redis/redis-stack-server for setting a password and additional configuration.

Set the following environment variables:

MEMORY_BACKEND=redis
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_PASSWORD=

Note that this is not intended to be run facing the internet and is not secure, do not expose redis to the internet without a password or at all really.

You can optionally set

WIPE_REDIS_ON_START=False

To persist memory stored in Redis.

You can specify the memory index for redis using the following:

MEMORY_INDEX=whatever

🌲 Pinecone API Key Setup

Pinecone enables the storage of vast amounts of vector-based memory, allowing for only relevant memories to be loaded for the agent at any given time.

Go to pinecone and make an account if you don't already have one.
Choose the Starter plan to avoid being charged.
Find your API key and region under the default project in the left sidebar.

Milvus Setup

Milvus is a open-source, high scalable vector database to storage huge amount of vector-based memory and provide fast relevant search.

setup milvus database, keep your pymilvus version and milvus version same to avoid compatible issues.
- setup by open source Install Milvus
- or setup by Zilliz Cloud
set MILVUS_ADDR in .env to your milvus address host:ip.
set MEMORY_BACKEND in .env to milvus to enable milvus as backend.
optional
- set MILVUS_COLLECTION in .env to change milvus collection name as you want, autogpt is the default name.

Setting up environment variables

In the .env file set:

PINECONE_API_KEY
PINECONE_ENV (something like: us-east4-gcp)
MEMORY_BACKEND=pinecone

Alternatively, you can set them from the command line (advanced):

For Windows Users:

setx PINECONE_API_KEY "YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY"
setx PINECONE_ENV "Your pinecone region" # something like: us-east4-gcp
setx MEMORY_BACKEND "pinecone"

For macOS and Linux users:

export PINECONE_API_KEY="YOUR_PINECONE_API_KEY"
export PINECONE_ENV="Your pinecone region" # something like: us-east4-gcp
export MEMORY_BACKEND="pinecone"

Setting Your Cache Type

By default Auto-GPT is going to use LocalCache instead of redis or Pinecone.

To switch to either, change the MEMORY_BACKEND env variable to the value that you want:

local (default) uses a local JSON cache file pinecone uses the Pinecone.io account you configured in your ENV settings redis will use the redis cache that you configured

View Memory Usage

View memory usage by using the --debug flag :)

🧠 Memory pre-seeding

# python scripts/data_ingestion.py -h 
usage: data_ingestion.py [-h] (--file FILE | --dir DIR) [--init] [--overlap OVERLAP] [--max_length MAX_LENGTH]

Ingest a file or a directory with multiple files into memory. Make sure to set your .env before running this script.

options:
  -h, --help               show this help message and exit
  --file FILE              The file to ingest.
  --dir DIR                The directory containing the files to ingest.
  --init                   Init the memory and wipe its content (default: False)
  --overlap OVERLAP        The overlap size between chunks when ingesting files (default: 200)
  --max_length MAX_LENGTH  The max_length of each chunk when ingesting files (default: 4000

# python scripts/data_ingestion.py --dir seed_data --init --overlap 200 --max_length 1000

This script located at scripts/data_ingestion.py, allows you to ingest files into memory and pre-seed it before running Auto-GPT.

Memory pre-seeding is a technique that involves ingesting relevant documents or data into the AI's memory so that it can use this information to generate more informed and accurate responses.

To pre-seed the memory, the content of each document is split into chunks of a specified maximum length with a specified overlap between chunks, and then each chunk is added to the memory backend set in the .env file. When the AI is prompted to recall information, it can then access those pre-seeded memories to generate more informed and accurate responses.

This technique is particularly useful when working with large amounts of data or when there is specific information that the AI needs to be able to access quickly. By pre-seeding the memory, the AI can retrieve and use this information more efficiently, saving time, API call and improving the accuracy of its responses.

You could for example download the documentation of an API, a Github repository, etc. and ingest it into memory before running Auto-GPT.

⚠️ If you use Redis as your memory, make sure to run Auto-GPT with the WIPE_REDIS_ON_START set to False in your .env file.

⚠️For other memory backend, we currently forcefully wipe the memory when starting Auto-GPT. To ingest data with those memory backend, you can call the data_ingestion.py script anytime during an Auto-GPT run.

Memories will be available to the AI immediately as they are ingested, even if ingested while Auto-GPT is running.

In the example above, the script initializes the memory, ingests all files within the seed_data directory into memory with an overlap between chunks of 200 and a maximum length of each chunk of 4000. Note that you can also use the --file argument to ingest a single file into memory and that the script will only ingest files within the auto_gpt_workspace directory.

You can adjust the max_length and overlap parameters to fine-tune the way the documents are presented to the AI when it "recall" that memory:

Adjusting the overlap value allows the AI to access more contextual information from each chunk when recalling information, but will result in more chunks being created and therefore increase memory backend usage and OpenAI API requests.
Reducing the max_length value will create more chunks, which can save prompt tokens by allowing for more message history in the context, but will also increase the number of chunks.
Increasing the max_length value will provide the AI with more contextual information from each chunk, reducing the number of chunks created and saving on OpenAI API requests. However, this may also use more prompt tokens and decrease the overall context available to the AI.

💀 Continuous Mode ⚠️

Run the AI without user authorisation, 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 authorise. Use at your own risk.

Run the autogpt python module in your terminal:

python -m autogpt --speak --continuous

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 --speak --gpt3only

It is recommended to use a virtual machine for tasks that require high security measures to prevent any potential harm to the main computer's system and data.

🖼 Image Generation

By default, Auto-GPT uses DALL-e for image generation. To use Stable Diffusion, a Hugging Face API Token is required.

Once you have a token, set these variables in your .env:

IMAGE_PROVIDER=sd
HUGGINGFACE_API_TOKEN="YOUR_HUGGINGFACE_API_TOKEN"

Selenium

sudo Xvfb :10 -ac -screen 0 1024x768x24 & DISPLAY=:10 your-client

⚠️ Limitations

This experiment aims to showcase the potential of GPT-4 but comes with some limitations:

Not a polished application or product, just an experiment
May not perform well in complex, real-world business scenarios. In fact, if it actually does, please share your results!
Quite expensive to run, so set and monitor your API key limits with OpenAI!
