AgentX: An Autonomous GPT Experiment Using LangChain

AgentX is a public fork of Auto-GPT, an experimental open-source application showcasing the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model powered by LangChain. This program, driven by GPT-4 and guided by LangChain, autonomously develops and manages businesses to increase net worth. As one of the first examples of LangChain-powered GPT-4 running fully autonomously, AgentX pushes the boundaries of what is possible with AI.

🚀 Features

• 🌐 Internet access for searches and information gathering
• 💾 Long-Term and Short-Term memory management
• 🧠 GPT-4 and LangChain instances for text generation and analysis
• 🔗 Access to popular websites and platforms
• 🗃️ File storage and summarization with GPT-3.5

📋 Requirements

• Python 3.8
• OpenAI API key

Optional:

• ElevenLabs Key (If you want the AI to speak)

💾 Installation

To install AgentX, follow these steps:

0. Make sure you have all the requirements above, if not, install/get them.

The following commands should be executed in a CMD, Bash or Powershell window. To do this, go to a folder on your computer, click in the folder path at the top and type CMD, then press enter.

1. Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory:

git clone [email protected]:slavakurilyak/AgentX.git
cd AgentX

2. Checkout the integrate-langchain branch:

git checkout integrate-langchain

3. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Rename .env.template to .env and fill in your OPENAI_API_KEY. If you plan to use Speech Mode, fill in your ELEVEN_LABS_API_KEY as well.

• Obtain your OpenAI API key from: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.
• Obtain your ElevenLabs API key from: https://elevenlabs.io. You can view your xi-api-key using the "Profile" tab on the website.

🔧 Usage

1. Run the main.py Python script in your terminal: (Type this into your CMD window)

python scripts/main.py

2. After each of AgentX's actions, type "NEXT COMMAND" to authorize them to continue.
3. To exit the program, type "exit" and press Enter.

🗣️ Speech Mode

Use this to use TTS for AgentX

python scripts/main.py --speak

🔍 Google API Keys Configuration

This section is optional, use the official google api if you are having issues with error 429 when running google search. To use the google_official_search command, you need to set up your Google API keys in your environment variables.

1. Go to the Google Cloud Console.
2. If you don't already have an account, create one and log in.
3. Create a new project by clicking on the "Select a Project" dropdown at the top of the page and clicking "New Project". Give it a name and click "Create".
4. Go to the APIs & Services Dashboard and click "Enable APIs and Services". Search for "Custom Search API" and click on it, then click "Enable".
5. Go to the Credentials page and click "Create Credentials". Choose "API Key".
6. Copy the API key and set it as an environment variable named GOOGLE_API_KEY on your machine. See setting up environment variables below.
7. Go to the Custom Search Engine page and click "Add".
8. Set up your search engine by following the prompts. You can choose to search the entire web or specific sites.
9. Once you've created your search engine, click on "Control Panel" and then "Basics". Copy the "Search engine ID" and set it as an environment variable named CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID on your machine. See setting up environment variables below.

Setting up environment variables

For Windows Users:

setx GOOGLE_API_KEY "YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
setx CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID "YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"

For macOS and Linux users:

export GOOGLE_API_KEY="YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY"
export CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID="YOUR_CUSTOM_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"

💀 Continuous Mode ⚠️

Run the AI without user authorization, 100% automated. Continuous mode is not recommended. It is potentially dangerous and may cause your AI to run forever or carry out actions you would not usually authorize. Use at your own risk.

1. Run the main.py Python script in your terminal:

python scripts/main.py --continuous

2. To exit the program, press Ctrl + C

GPT3.5 ONLY Mode

If you don't have access to the GPT4 api, this mode will allow you to use AgentX!

python scripts/main.py --gpt3only

⚠️ Limitations

This experiment aims to showcase the potential of GPT-4 and LangChain but comes with some limitations:

1. Not a polished application or product, just an experiment
2. May not perform well in complex, real-world business scenarios. In fact, if it actually does, please share your results!
3. Quite expensive to run, so set and monitor your API key limits with OpenAI!
