Pricing
Free and open-source (self-hosted). Requires access to an OpenAI API key (pay-as-you-go).
Pros
• Autonomous task execution
• Highly flexible with plugins
• Vibrant open-source community
Cons
• Technical setup required
• Prone to errors and loops
• Still experimental and not user-friendly
Verdict
AutoGPT is an exciting experimental tool for advanced users who want to explore autonomous agent capabilities. Not recommended for beginners or production use—yet.
