Written by Dave Ebbelaar - December 28, 2023


Welcome back! Would you like me to return to being Dave's AI assistant?

Okay, so ChatGPT is old news. Auto GPT is the new thing. If you want to know how to use it and get started, then this is the blog post for you. I will give you a full tutorial, showing you how to install it, get started, and create your own personal AI assistant. You can even use voice clones to make it talk.

What is Auto GPT?

Auto GPT is an open source project that showcases the capabilities of the GPT4 language model. In their own words, it's an experimental open source application that uses the GPT4 language model and the OpenAI API to achieve a set of goals. It chains together large language model thoughts to autonomously achieve the goals you set for it.

So, what can you do with Auto GPT? Well, it's the future of AI. We will all have personal AI assistants that can do tasks for us. Auto GPT is a great example of what it will be like in the future. You can give it a set of goals, and it will go out on its own to achieve those goals.

Getting Started

In order to get started with Auto GPT, you will need a Python installation on your system. If you're new to Python, I recommend installing Anaconda, as it's easy to set up and use.

Next, you'll need an OpenAI API key, which you can request by joining the waitlist. You'll also need an 11 Laps key if you want the AI to speak. Additionally, you may need a Pinecone API key if you want to use a long-term memory for AI.

To set up Auto GPT, you can clone the repository using Git or download the ZIP file. Then, create a Python environment and install the necessary requirements. Finally, update the .env file with your API keys.

Creating Your AI Assistant

Once you have everything set up, you can start running the Auto GPT script. It will ask you to enter the name and role of your AI assistant, as well as the goals you want it to achieve. You can specify up to five goals for the agent.

For example, if you want an AI assistant that can create Python coding tutorials, you can enter the goal of creating a tutorial for the pandas library. You can also specify additional goals, such as saving the tutorial to a markdown file.

Once you've set the goals, the AI assistant will start working to achieve them. It will use the GPT4 language model and the OpenAI API to perform tasks and generate results. You can authorize the AI assistant to perform actions by typing "y" and pressing enter.

As the AI assistant works, it will provide reasoning and plans for each step. You can also enable speech mode to have the AI assistant speak the generated text using the 11 Laps API.

Conclusion

Auto GPT is an exciting project that showcases the capabilities of the GPT4 language model. With Auto GPT, you can create your own personal AI assistant that can perform tasks and achieve goals autonomously. It's the future of AI, and with some creativity and experimentation, the possibilities are endless.

So, what are you waiting for? Give Auto GPT a try and see what you can create with your own personal AI assistant. And don't forget to like this blog post and subscribe to Dave's channel for more exciting AI content.
