AutoGPT Guide
AutoGPT is one of the original autonomous-loop AI agents. Given a high-level goal, it decomposes it into sub-tasks, plans, and executes them in a loop until completion. The project popularized the autonomous agent pattern and is widely studied as a reference implementation. Self-hosted with Docker recommended; the project documents sandboxing for safety.
