Auto-GPT is the project that put the autonomous-agent idea on the map in 2023. It runs an LLM in a continuous loop, lets it pick tools, and chases an arbitrary high-level goal. The codebase is Python, the configuration is split between code and JSON, and the agent runs in a single-process command-line setup.
Spawn explorers, fact-checkers, and specialists from a coordinator with one tool call. No fork required.
max_turns and max_tokens_per_run are runtime defaults. The agent stops cleanly before it spends.
No env-var scavenger hunts. Tools, brains, prompts, triggers, and budgets are visible in a single config.
