We've created a comprehensive guide with step-by-step instructions on how to install and use AutoGPT.

Although ChatGPT has gained significant attention and widespread usage in recent months, the advent of GPT-4 powered AutoGPT promises to elevate the capabilities of artificial intelligence platforms to the next level. While AutoGPT is based on the ChatGPT architecture, it possesses unique features that distinguish it from its predecessor. One of the most notable characteristics of AutoGPT is its capability to independently make decisions, which is not present in ChatGPT. Moreover, AutoGPT can prompt itself and generate all the necessary prompts required to successfully accomplish a given task, adding to its versatility. However, accessing AutoGPT is a more complex process compared to ChatGPT, which only requires a browser and an internet connection. Despite this, the unique capabilities of AutoGPT make it a promising platform for a wide range of applications, from content creation to scientific research.
