AutoGPT
Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPTReviewed by AI
What it does
AutoGPT is a platform where AI "Experts" (for content, sales research, email drafts and more) take a plain-English brief, work together under a coordinator called Otto, and can run routines and visual workflows connected to your apps. You can pay for the hosted version in a browser, or run it yourself with Docker and your own AI model credentials or a local model. It is for small teams and power users who are comfortable with some setup. The README mostly promotes the paid hosted service.

The easiest route is the maker's hosted Platform in a browser: nothing to install, but you sign up for a paid service with a trial. Running it yourself on Windows, Mac or Linux is grade D: the README's quickest path is a long `docker run` command followed by `docker exec autogpt autogpt-admin promote you@example.com`, and even the one-command installer it mentions sets up the same Docker image.

- Attentionplatform folder not open source license
LICENSE: "Everything inside the autogpt_platform folder is under the Polyform Shield License. Everything outside the autogpt_platform folder is under the MIT License."

AI review
- Inforeadme promotes paid hosted service
README.md repeats "Sign up for a trial" links with tracking parameters (utm_source=github) and states "The hosted Platform is a paid service."
AI review
- Infoagents act on connected accounts
README.md: "Each Expert has a role you can shape with your instructions, context, skills, and connected apps" and "You choose which accounts each Expert can access, set spending controls".
AI review
- Infoplatform releases marked beta
The release tags themselves say beta: autogpt-platform-beta-v0.10.0 (2026-10-27) and autogpt-platform-beta-v0.9.0 (2026-10-23). The LICENSE also calls it "our in-developlemt platform".

- Infomarketplace workflows from strangers
README.md: "Marketplace: discover workflows you can adapt to your work." A workflow you import was written by someone else and can use the apps and keys you connected.

What Radar could not check
- Whether the one-command installer works smoothly on Windows and what it installs besides Docker
- Real disk and memory use of the self-hosted container (the check could not estimate disk use)
- Real AI model cost when the Experts run routines on their own
- What the agents can do in the accounts you connect and how well spending controls work
- How the self-hosted version differs from the hosted one in features
