What can you do with Autonomous Agents? Auto GPT & Replit = The fastest way to spin up an Agent

I go on vacation for one week, ONE WEEK, and a brand new paradigm in AI technology becomes a reality in the form of Auto GPT, an autonomous agent. These are amazing, but what are they? How do they work? Are they dangerous for your local files system? And how can we use Replit to spin one up in seconds?

This looks amazing, I am just starting the tutorial, but I just want to say, THANK YOU! I can not wait to get mine going.

[@BrandosLounge]

A technology that constantly gets stuck in loops. Tried it with 4 different scenarios, and kept asking me the same questions over and over again

[@Neuronalchannel]

good stuff 🤘🏼

[@caioraimundo1609]

So impressive how you guys are keeping up with the pace of all of this, congrats!

Hello

[@gkennedy_aiforsocialbenefit]

Thank Zahid! I got it working with no issues, although I was running it locally before. "Make sure to set the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY as a Secret" You must pay $7 a month to make your project private first in order to protect your OPENAI_API_KEY from public view!

holly shit, it took me 2 weeks to understand chunking and chaining the thoughts for LLMs to use iptimaly ... It did it in 2min

[@pfcwells522]

Very true is definitely more to setting up autogpt than what some YT folks are showing. What I'm realizing is that there have been a number of changes a few days back. so if a explainer is more than two weeks old, you'll have to spend some time figuring out what errors mean. Also, does this mean Replit is providing the google search api key. also are they providing the memory vector or are they using a company api key for Pinecone?

[@attilavass6935]

Would be great to (optionally) be able to keep automatically our own forked repls always the latest stable, since we store our API keys in "Secrets", so we don't plan to change code in this fork.

Hello

[@Jascensionvoid]

Great video! I’ve been playing with auto gpt since release and sadly I haven’t found it to be very useful. I tried to get it to gather research on local resturants so I could do a review and it literally took 10 hours and it generated a research file with like 10 lines. I’ve also tried a number of other things and well, just haven’t got much out of it. It couldn’t write detailed articles either. BUT…I do think it has potential and in time, it is going to be pretty epic. But with it being new, not much to do with it right now. But this is just my opinion

[@johnjohansson]

Did you use ChatGPT or GPT-4?

[@GregoryWilnau]

I had a similar experience. The potential is astronomical, but its just not useful yet. More a novelty. But not for long. Can’t wait to have it trade stocks for me ;)

[@Jascensionvoid]

@@GregoryWilnau lol funny you said that because I’m a day trader 😂 but I completely agree, after a few updated and some tweaks it should start to be really good. I did have fun with auto gpt. I gave it the goal to become self aware 😂 and talk about fun! At one part it started to want to download server code and its own code to understand how it was coded to change its own code. Even gave itself a name, fascinating to watch. Tried it multiple times and each time it seems to try a different path, depends exactly how you word it too

[@Jason-eo7xo]

There is nothing special about replit + autogpt. No different than running it locally. Please keep the hype to minimum. Autogpt has a long way to go before it’s really useful. I try using the the latest build every day and I’m an ai developer.

[@CHA9LIPO]

how can I use the autogpt to take commands with arguments from a file???

[@unimposings]

can you do some propper video, with more dept, thos i have installed and look those standard prompts videos are 1000 of there already, but how to use auto gpt with twitter, fully autonomous, or with pinterest, tiktok, even with youtube, how good is it in fixing it own code, how to use Plugins, a more dept video would be awsome, and will get a lot of views, because i think most of us are stuck..

[@dragontailsb1971]

how do I make it for chatgpt 3.5?

[@frankdekock1127]

So basically it found you headphones that are not wireless and failed miserably on the second example 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@halfsourlizard9319]

Clone the repo, pop in your API key, let it spend a bunch of money, get disappointing results.

[@CODE_7RONE]

Why is there no Flutter, please add it

[@vlaxi8787]

yes please!

[@GentleImpressions]

2:10 "and the forking process happens reasonably quickly" same..same

[@diamondjazz2000]

Looks like it failed the first example. The headphones are not wireless. Interesting.

[@xuraith]

AutoGPT is an AI of culture. my big head has been using the wired version of those headphones for years lol

[@rogermarquez1314]

In order to keep it a secret you need a paid membership with Replit.

[@maxlove5896]

i can tell you’re using ai for this speech 😂

[@nomadontherun_]

How about something not so easy. Everyone uses this type of example. Not really useful . My guess is it really can't do more than simple find a product and compare.

[@witness1013]

Garbage. If it doesn't use langchain - it's a crappy agent based system.

[@Jason-eo7xo]

It is using langchain
