AutoGPT

Significant Gravitas

One of the earliest and most well-known autonomous AI agent platforms, AutoGPT lets users define goals and the agent recursively breaks them into sub-tasks, executes actions, and learns from results. Has evolved from a viral demo into a more mature platform with a visual builder and marketplace. 184K GitHub stars (highest in the category) with 429 contributors, though much of the star count reflects the 2023 hype wave. Still actively developed with 668 commits in 90 days.

AutoGPT (Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT), latest autogpt-platform-beta-v0.6.62 (May 28 2026); 185k GitHub stars. The original autonomous-agent project; now centered on the AutoGPT Platform (low-code agent builder). Confirmed live June 2026.

license
DUAL, autogpt_platform/ under PolyForm Shield (non-OSI, source-available, anti-compete)

public

Verified dual license: the current flagship, the AutoGPT Platform, is PolyForm Shield (source-available, non-OSI, anti-compete), while legacy components (Classic, Forge, agbenchmark) stay MIT. Scored on the active product. Score corrected from 3 to 2 on 2026-07-30. The software ladder has rungs at 1, 2, 4 and 5 and none at 3, so 3/source_available was not a pair any rule could produce; the ladder scores "you can read it and not run it freely" at 2.

Adoption

3 low confidence
3.0

185k stars (one of the most-starred repos on GitHub) reflects huge historical interest, but stars cannot exceed level 3 and recent production-usage signal is unclear. No published platform MAU/download volume found; capped at 3, directional.

Capability

2 medium confidence
2.0

Pioneering but the autonomous loop has been surpassed; the low-code platform is its current value. No competitive agent-benchmark number published; scored low-mid on feature matrix.
