How to Use AutoGPT - Complete Tutorial

someone recently created a version of chat GPT called Auto GPT still powered by chat GPT but it could do things chat GPT just can't do and it runs locally on your computer so if you have a PC if you have a Mac you could actually install it on your computer with a few simple steps that I'm going to show you how to do in this video and there are plenty of tutorials online about this but they're far too complicated I'm going to simplify this so anybody without any technical knowledge could actually installed Auto GPT and run it on their local device and some of my favorite ways to use Auto GPT is one it has internet access so it could do Google searches for you it could actually output what it found in text format in your own computer so you could actually review it later and it has access itself it also could come up with ongoing prompts for itself so you actually give it a big task and then it makes smaller tasks for itself and every step of the way is going to ask for your input or approval before it just keeps on going and you could actually access a whole world of plugins because this is again on your computer so no one else is controlling it once you install it on your local device these things just can't happen on any version of chat GPT that other people are creating that are web-based or online so I'll show you exactly how to install it step by step the very first step on the process is going to this page here and this is going to walk you through step by step how to do it but I'll do this much simpler in this video because this is still made for developers and I want to make this accessible to any person that wants to download Auto GPT without any technical knowledge now I will link everything I'm going to mention in order so this link to this website and everything else I'll mention I'll put in the first comment below or in the description below and the first thing it's going to tell you is you could actually run auto GPT on Mac or PC in three different ways but you need to choose which way now some other tutorials that are way too complicated way too long are using the python method way too too complicated some are using this code developer called Visual Studio we could use visual studio just to simplify some things that are technical I'll show you that but we're going to use the very first recommended method called Docker so that's the first step we're going to click over here and we need to install this program called Docker choose Windows or Mac depending on where you're on they have it for Linux too I'm going to choose Mac here I've installed it on Windows 2 so I'll point out the differences as we go I have the Intel chip Mac it's a little bit older so I'm going to go ahead and download it here and here's the document I'm going to click here in my download it shows up in my download folder I'm going to drag it onto my applications folder and this computer actually doesn't have any of this stuff installed I have installed it before on PCM Mac but not on this one this is a laptop that has none of this installed now if I go to my applications folder I could look for Docker here double click to open it up here to make sure I go through the installation process now that it's inside of my applications folder so find your application here your applications folder and open it and go through the rest of the process with Docker I'll accept and use recommended setting finish type in my password this is my password for the computer and I could either skip or answer these questions here to set up the rest of it I'm going to go ahead and set up the rest okay now this is set up so I'm going to go ahead and minimize Docker I don't need it right now and I'll go back to the website where we did our setup so I'll close all these and here back in the setup mode next step is we need to get something called the API key Now API key comes from the same company open AI that makes chat GPT so they made chat GPT the original version version 4 all of that comes from openai so we need to give this key basically to our setup so we could access that information without that you know we're not going to be able to get the information from chatgpt to run auto GPT even though Auto GPT is made by developers that are not related to chat GPT we still need to set this up so they're going to give you a link again this will be the second link we need to click on and this link is going to bring us to platform Dot openai.com and this is where our API key is going to be accessed now we have to have a account here for openai or chat GPT so I already used Channel GPT so I have an account so I'm going to log into that account if you don't just sign up if you haven't used the regular chat GPT before once you log in this link will bring you to the API key page so this is what it looks like and you could create a new key so you just press create a new secret key and then you could name your key so you could name it auto GPT for example and create a key so I'm going to name it auto gpt2 just to have it and I'll delete it and then this is your secret key don't share this with anyone and make sure you copy it because as soon as you press done it will not be editable again you can't find the whole key so make sure you copy it click here copy it to a safe text format or any type of place you save this maybe a Google doc and then go ahead and press done now you could delete these anytime so you can press the delete key if you did didn't copy it or if you want to make a new one or if you don't want anyone to access it just press delete right over here next is going to actually tell you to set up your billing okay this is going to charge you a little bit sometimes this Penny sometimes is a dollar let me just show you where that setup is in the same place but it's under the billing tab so on the left side there's a billing tab click here and then you want to set up a method of payment now if you pay for chat GPT you might have set this up already but set up some kind of credit card payment then I'll show you here if you go to usage this tab this is going to tell you how often it's going to charge you okay so so far I've only spent 35 cents and I've made maybe four different types of tutorials around these kind of things and that's my total for the whole month is there 35 cents and they have a cap actually on their billing so you could actually set a usage limit right here to make sure your hot limits doesn't exceed 120 dollars a month that's by default so this way if you run something that just ends up going for a long time you see still hit this hard limit and don't spend more than you want to so even if you want to spend less than twenty dollars a month just change your hard limit here now this next step is setting up Auto GPT now this is a little bit technical but it's really something anybody could do so what you need to do is basically paste this into a command prompt inside of your computer so on a Mac there is an app called terminal on your PC it's actually called command shell so Windows command shell you open that up I'll show you terminal here on my Mac so I'll search for terminal up here press enter this is terminal so I just need to copy this right here if I take this and press copy and if I paste this right here and press enter it's actually going to run the latest version and pull what basically all this data is so you see it's downloading a bunch of data now if I don't have Docker installed and set up in the previous step it's not going to find anything right so that's why we are doing this in step by step and I'll put this in a text format too on my website in a very clear step-by-step instruction with this video so if you want to watch it there and just refer back to the description section to make it a little bit easier things that I just couldn't put on the YouTube page I'll make it easier with resources there now it says it has the latest version of Docker so let's go back to our format here and then it says create a folder called Auto GPT now we're going to create a regular folder on our computer so I'm going to open finder I'll go to my documents and I'm going to just create a new folder again called Auto GPT and then if I go back it says now that you've created that inside of it create a text file called Docker slash compose slash yml so I'm going to go in here and I need to create a text file in here so to do that you have a lot of text creation not Microsoft Word or anything like that but typically you have different apps like text editor you need this to be very plain text so if I open up text editor here okay I'm going to go ahead and cancel this I'm going to press file and new I'm going to create a text basically I'm going to name this exactly what this told me to name it which is this document name I'm going to copy this over and I'll go ahead and name it that make sure there's no spaces okay and I'll just make sure I save this inside of my documents right same place there we go we have the name now we need to copy this information right so this is the code basically that we need to copy so I'll go ahead and copy this code all the way to the bottom copy this bring it over here and then I'll go ahead and paste there we go so now we need to save this so I'm going to go to file and save so now it's been saved I could close it now let me go back to that finder window okay I put it actually right outside it needs to be inside of this folder called Auto GPT I'll drag it put it in here okay now I'm gonna just press enter and actually make sure this is saved as a yml and not a RTF okay so use yml there we go so everything is set up based on what this told us to do now we're going to get to the section where we gotta configure a few different files so it says create a necessary configuration if needed use this template okay so this one is going to take a few different steps if I click over here basically it's going to take these six steps but then you're done if you do these six steps it's going to be all done so to do that what we need to do I'll come back up here and we'll go to the repository here okay so I'll click repository this is going to take you to another page here called github.com and this is where the code for auto GPT is saved this is a big website for developers they basically contribute and save their codes here okay if I go to the bottom of all these codes I'll should see a section called latest release you see that if I click over to latest release it's going to bring me to the latest version of Auto GPT now they update this almost every single week so you're going to see it different number by the time you watch this video but let me go all the way to the bottom because on the bottom you'll see all the different developers that contributed to this project this is an experimental project and the source code is here I need to download this ZIP file okay I'm going to click it's gonna download it to my computer this is all the code for auto GPT the latest version I'm going to open it it's going to extract it and you see put it over here I'm gonna just take it to my documents folder so it's in the same place as the other ones so if I go to documents this is the folder I just created with the docker this is the auto GPT one I just downloaded so this is going to have a bunch of stuff inside of it that you don't need to worry about okay now I need to do a couple of different things to configure this so it says find a file name dot env.template in the main Auto GPT folder that's the one I just downloaded so I'll go ahead and go there I'm going to open it and here this is where you would find that document except it's a hidden document unfortunately so you have to show hidden documents I'm going to show you the simplest way I know how to do this because there are some ways that you'll have to use way too much of a complicated code to do this but there is a version of this that's much easier to do and that is by using another app called visual studio now this one you could download from code.visualstudio.com this is a very popular app that most developers use for coding but it's going to actually let us make that couple of tiny adjustments for the code so I'm going to download again a version of it for my computer so in this case it's kind of downloaded from my Mac if you have a PC it's going to know that and if you already have this obviously it's not going to require you to download it you could just go ahead and open it I'll go ahead and unzip this and I'll double click from my download folder to install this app and you could just X out of everything or just get through to get to this page okay so now inside of here all you have to do is go to file and then you want to open a folder this is the folder for inside of our desktop for chat GPT it's going to see all the files even the hidden ones so if I open it I'm going to trust the author I'm going to press ok I'm going to let this install for a second Okay then if I again go over here to explore it's going to show this basically table of contents and this is what it was asking me to find dot env.template okay so let's go back to the document again and basically we did all of that with Visual Studio to be able to find this hidden file so you don't have to use Visual Studio you could actually try to find a hidden files this is basically on Windows and Mac it tells you how to do it but it requires stuff in terminal I like Visual Studio I could see it physically on there and it says create a copy of that and call it dot EnV okay so I could create a copy of that I'll go back to visual studio this is really easy to do I'm going to go ahead and just create a new one right here this is the new DOT EnV that's what it told me to make and then I could go in this one so here just select everything so on the Mac is command a PC control a I'm going to right click and copy everything I'll bring it back here and I'll right click and paste everything okay so there we go we just made a copy of this and named it EnV and I'm going to go ahead and press file and save this one and then let's go back and I told you to do one more thing here so I created the copy and then here it says open in a text editor right in this case I have the visual studio so that's my text editor I don't have to do that I have the open API key now if I then save it I need to go back create a new one based on a previous step but I saved it so I'm going to copy it and inside of visual studio in that new document I made there's a section here called open API key your API key goes here so I need to erase it leave the equal sign and paste it okay there we go so I pasted my open API key one more step you need to do which it doesn't show you in the document if you have a Mac so let me go ahead and file save and then I'm going to do control F to find something on a Mac so if I search for the word Mac it shows me this section I need to remove this hashtag to activate it and I need to change false to true I need to type that in here okay so that's all I did remove hashtag now this is activated for a Mac inside of this EnV now I'm going to save that if you're on a PC you don't have to do that step you're just type in your API key that's what all this section is for okay then it says enter the API key and then save it and then it says you could type in all kinds of different API Keys here this is why Auto GPT is a lot more powerful than some of the ones that are web-based right so there's web-based versions that I'll point out at the end of the video that I made complete complete videos on that do some of these things but you don't have control right because someone else set them up this is local for you so then I'm going to save and close that document so this was the document I saved that already I'm going to close it okay so everything pretty much inside of Visual Studio could be closed and that's pretty much it it's going to give you some other options for running GPT on Azure and things like that and this basically could tap into things called plugins all kinds of different apis from different companies we just logged into the open AI one to get access to chat GPT but this could do so many more things with plugins that I'm not going to cover in this video but you could look into some of the plugin options once you get this up and running earnings okay now I need to run this Auto GPT and it says the best way to do that is using this command and this is again inside of my command app or in this case it was terminal on a Mac so I'm gonna just create a new window here I close that one and I'll paste that and I'll press enter and because again I have Docker installed it's going to give me some options and one of them is a command called CD so if I basically this is going to let me look into the folder where all this information is saved okay so let me go back to my finder window here and I was in this folder right here okay so I need to find a path for this folder and usually it shows up on a window in a URL type of thing but um Mac you have to go to window and you need to basically show the path bar that's basically what you'll see over here and then you could copy and copy this pathway okay a path name and then if I go here so CD space and then paste that and enter is going to bring me into this folder so this is just a command to get into a folder right in your finder window you just double click to get into it but this is how you get into that folder so now inside of that folder I could go back and I could basically build an image this Docker image if I copy this over and paste it here inside of this folder and press enter it's going to ask me to access my documents okay and then it's going to basically write a whole bunch of stuff here okay if you get an error that means you weren't in the right folder so make sure you follow that path you put in that command that I showed you CD space and then the user path wherever you saved it so I don't know exactly where you said that if you save the documents folder it's going to look something like mine then it's going to assemble this this is going to take a couple minutes here to assemble it then I'll show you the next step as well and while this is running I'll also put a link to a website that we're building out that is going to be a complete library of content for all things Ai and for beginners as well as intermediate but nothing Advanced this is not for developer for regular people that are just trying to be better more productive just more efficient at work with AI we have all kinds of tutorials and courses it's going to be Netflix style really easy to use so I'll go ahead and Link that below it should be released soon by the time you watch this but if it's not you'll have a countdown you could give me your email and I'll notify you when it's released so you could be one of the first people to test it out okay this is done so only one more step is left which is running Auto GPT and the command for that again is this right here I'll copy this command I'll bring it back here and I'll paste it and I'll press enter now this is actually going to build Out Auto GPT for us inside of of year and once we name our Auto GPT Auto GPT could be named anything once we name it we could always open up terminal or the windows version of it the command shell and basically run it so I'm going to just press OK here and then it says press enter to continue I'll press enter and then it says I want Auto gpt2 so this is basically the task I'm going to give it I want Auto cheap bt2 to build me a business for my video company and in this case it's basically named at CEO GPT the role is Nai designed to assist entrepreneurs in building Successful video production businesses providing expert guidance in all aspects of Business Development the goal is to conduct market research and it's going to give you the five different goals it has sometimes it actually gives you a prompt for that so you can name it yourself you could actually tell it the goal you could give it a roll and then you could type that in and as you can see it's going to keep running so this is the thought this is the reasoning this is the plan and you could give it an input here basically based on what it's trying to do so in this case it's trying to do a Google search Okay so the plan is to conduct market research which requires Google search and then you can basically type in why or no and for no to stop it if you give it y so I'll put y here and press enter it's actually going to do the thing so here is doing a Google search these are all the different things it's going to search for it's going to say thinking and if I scroll roll back up a little bit by the way there's something called plug-in support too so you can see plug-in support on the website that I showed you from the documentation they show you all about plug-in support right here under the GitHub page so you could learn more about that because right now it is doing things chat GPT can't do right now so all these internet searches is going to make text documents in a second with what it found so it could refer back to it it's going to sit in my local computer right and I could change the code and figure things out in GitHub and do all kinds of different things right and then it's going to ask me again if I want to give it input or if I want to just agree with this plan right so thought reasoning plan criticism and then tells me what the next action in that that it wants to do so I could literally sit here and just press y now a little bit of money is going to be spent on the open API side so you could go to the usage Tab and you could see that right now it's probably just two cents I've spent in the last hour right it's not very much but make sure you keep track of your own especially if you're using the latest version of chat GPT sometimes that could add up but make sure you keep on that so I'll just keep saying yes and I'll get exactly what I need so this is still going to be in the world of research and then it's going to give me the text documents and it's going to keep going with the plan until as long as I want right my end goal is to launch a business right so it's going to help me get to that point with all kinds of ways that I basically need to implement it's going to do a lot of the work for me now two other options besides Auto GPD there is a version of it called Agent GPT it's a website that's kind of like this it's not local on your computer I have a video for that that I'll link below as well there's another thing called God mode again someone made this version for the internet on a different website so that one could could actually give you text outputs too very close to this one again you don't have access to the code with that as well right so you can't do plugins and things that you could do with this so it's a good combination to kind of learn a little bit about each one and see where the limitations are and let's see where you want to take it from here so I'm going to keep going with this plan and I'm going to get all kinds of different search results here research outputs and it's probably going to save me days and days and days on doing this manually on my own again all the resources are linked and organized below this video I hope you found this useful and I'll see you next time
