npx skills add firecrawl/ai-research-skills --skill autogpt-agents
Autonomous AI agent platform for building and deploying continuous agents. Use when creating visual workflow agents, deploying persistent autonomous agents, or building complex multi-step AI automation systems.
npx skills add firecrawl/ai-research-skills --skill autogpt-agents
Comprehensive platform for building, deploying, and managing continuous AI agents through a visual interface or development toolkit.
Use AutoGPT when:
Key features:
Use alternatives instead:
AutoGPT has two main systems:
Agents are represented as graphs containing nodes connected by links:
Blocks are reusable functional components:
| Block Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
INPUT | Agent entry points |
OUTPUT | Agent outputs |
AI | LLM calls, text generation |
WEBHOOK | External triggers |
STANDARD | General operations |
AGENT | Nested agent execution |
AI Blocks:
AITextGeneratorBlock - Generate text with LLMsAIConversationBlock - Multi-turn conversationsSmartDecisionMakerBlock - Conditional logicIntegration Blocks:
Control Blocks:
Manual execution:
Webhook trigger:
Scheduled execution:
WebSocket updates:
REST API polling:
Benchmarks use recorded HTTP responses for reproducibility:
Blocks automatically access user credentials:
| Provider | Auth Type | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | API Key | LLM, embeddings |
| Anthropic | API Key | Claude models |
| GitHub | OAuth | Code, repos |
| OAuth | Drive, Gmail, Calendar | |
| Discord | Bot Token | Messaging |
| Notion | OAuth | Documents |
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
DATABASE_URL | PostgreSQL connection |
REDIS_URL | Redis connection |
RABBITMQ_URL | RabbitMQ connection |
ENCRYPTION_KEY | Credential encryption |
SUPABASE_URL | Authentication |
