The open-source platform for AI agents
AutoGPT lets you build, deploy, and run AI agents that carry out complete workflows. Describe an outcome in plain English or shape every step in the visual builder, then run the agent on demand, on a schedule, or from a trigger.

Get started
AutoGPT Platform — public, hosted, and managed
The hosted Platform is publicly available. We manage the infrastructure, model access, credentials, reliability, and updates so you can focus on the work your agents perform.
Get started on AutoGPT Platform →
- AutoPilot, Agents, Marketplace, and Build
- 45+ connected platforms and hundreds of AI models
- No model API keys or infrastructure setup
- Agents that run on demand, on schedules, and from triggers
The hosted Platform is a paid service with usage-based agent runs. Compare plans and pricing →
Self-host AutoGPT
[!NOTE]
Self-hosting is the free path. You provide the infrastructure and model API keys, and you maintain the deployment. If you want zero setup, use the managed Platform.
macOS and Linux:
curl -fsSL https://setup.agpt.co/install.sh -o install.sh && bash install.sh
Windows PowerShell:
powershell -c "iwr https://setup.agpt.co/install.bat -o install.bat; ./install.bat"
Managed Platform vs. self-hosting
| | AutoGPT Platform | Self-hosted | |---|---|---| | Access | Public signup | Clone and install | | Cost | Paid plan plus agent usage | No license fee; pay your own infrastructure and model providers | | Setup | Managed | Docker and configuration required | | Model access | Built in | Bring your own API keys | | Updates and operations | Managed by AutoGPT | Managed by you | | Core builder and agent runtime | Included | Included | | Data and infrastructure control | Hosted by AutoGPT | Runs on your infrastructure | | Support | Plan-dependent | Community support |
Both paths use the same repository. Choose the managed Platform when you want agents running immediately; self-host when infrastructure control matters more than operational convenience.
Why the hosted Platform is paid
Every agent run consumes real model usage, compute, storage, secrets management, and operational support. The managed Platform covers that infrastructure and funds continued development of the open-source project.
Self-hosting remains available without a license fee for people and teams that want to provide and operate those resources themselves.
What you can automate
| Area | Example | |---|---| | Executive operations | Prepare a daily brief from internal and external signals | | Sales | Research every account before tomorrow's meetings | | Marketing | Turn a launch brief into campaign drafts across channels | | Engineering | Triage incidents and start with a likely cause | | Customer support | Draft replies, collect context, and flag escalations | | Research | Monitor sources and return structured reports when something changes |
Integrations
Connect the apps that are yours. AutoGPT provides access to hundreds of AI models and connects agents to 45+ platforms, including:
Gmail · Google Calendar · Google Docs · Google Sheets · GitHub · Slack · Discord · Notion · HubSpot · Linear · Airtable · Jira · Salesforce · Stripe · Webflow
