What it does
Give it a goal and watch it decompose the work into steps and execute them in the browser: the project that put autonomous agents in front of a lot of people. The hosted site still runs, so the experience is available, but the repository was archived in April 2025 — no fixes, no support for newer models. Fine as a demonstration of the idea; pick something maintained if you want to actually rely on it. GPL-3.0.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

AgentGPT FAQ
- Is AgentGPT free?
- AgentGPT itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use AgentGPT?
- No install needed — it runs in the browser.
- Does AgentGPT work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use AgentGPT commercially?
- The licence is GPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
- Is AgentGPT still maintained?
- No. The project is archived on GitHub, so there will be no further features or bug fixes. It may work today, but nothing will be repaired when it breaks.
