AgentGPT
Open-source, browser-based tool for creating autonomous AI agents that pursue a goal you set.
What is AgentGPT?
AgentGPT is an open-source project from Reworkd that lets you deploy an autonomous AI agent from your browser. You give the agent a name and a goal, and it breaks the goal into tasks, works through them and reports results. It was one of the early, popular autonomous agent demos in 2023.
AgentGPT arrived during the 2023 wave of autonomous agent projects, alongside AutoGPT. Its appeal was simplicity: no command line, just a web page where you type a goal like "research the best budget laptops" and watch the agent create and complete a task list.
Under the hood, AgentGPT uses large language models to plan, execute and reflect. It loops through generating tasks, running them, and adding new tasks based on what it learned, until it reaches a stopping point.
The project is open source, so developers can self-host it and change it. Reworkd, the company behind it, has since focused on other products, and the GitHub repository has been reported as archived in early 2026. That means you should not expect new features or regular fixes.
Today AgentGPT is most useful as a learning tool and reference for how autonomous agent loops work, rather than as a production system.
Key features of AgentGPT
- Browser-based agents: Create and run an agent from a web interface without coding.
- Goal-driven planning: The agent turns a single goal into a list of tasks and works through them.
- Task loop: Generates new tasks based on earlier results until the goal is reached or it stops.
- Open-source code: Self-host and modify the project for experiments and learning.
- Model configuration: Choose model settings and API keys when self-hosting.
What you can use AgentGPT for
- Learning how autonomous agent loops work
- Quick, low-stakes research experiments
- Prototyping agent ideas before building custom tools
- Teaching or demonstrating AI agents in workshops
Pros and considerations
Strengths
- Very easy to understand and try
- Open source and self-hostable
- No coding required for the hosted demo
- Useful reference for agent architecture
Things to check
- Development has reportedly stopped, so expect no new features or support.
- Early-style agent loops can go off track or repeat tasks.
- Limited tool use compared with modern agents that browse and use computers.
- The hosted version's availability and tiers may change, so check before relying on it.

Frequently asked questions
Is AgentGPT still maintained?
Reports indicate Reworkd archived the AgentGPT repository in early 2026. You can still use and self-host the open-source code, but you should not expect updates.
Is AgentGPT the same as AutoGPT?
No. They are separate projects with a similar idea. AgentGPT runs in the browser, while AutoGPT began as a command-line project and later became a broader agent platform.
Is AgentGPT free?
The code is open source. The hosted version has offered a limited free tier; check the official site for current status.
