Usage ​

Minimal usage example (self-hosted) ​

After running the installer or docker compose up -d --build, open the AutoGPT frontend in your browser:

http://localhost:3000

From there you can:

  1. Pick a pre-built agent from the marketplace, or
  2. Create a new agent using the visual block builder or AutoPilot chat.

Example: create an agent via AutoPilot chat ​

  1. Open http://localhost:3000 and sign in.

  2. Click New Agent and select AutoPilot Chat.

  3. Describe the task in plain language, for example:

    Monitor Hacker News daily and email me a summary of the top 5 AI stories.

  4. AutoGPT generates the workflow blocks automatically.

  5. Click Run to execute the agent.

The agent dashboard shows live status, cost per run, and execution logs.
