Self-host

AutoGPT lets you build, deploy, and run AI agents that carry out complete workflows. Describe an outcome in plain English or shape every step in the visual builder, then run the agent on demand, on a schedule, or from a trigger.

185,000+ GitHub stars. Cited by:

| “Next frontier of prompt engineering imo: ‘AutoGPTs’.” | Andrej Karpathy, founding member of OpenAI | | “If you have a phone you can run AutoGPT. You don't even need to learn how to code.” | Amjad Masad, co-founder & CEO of Replit | | “AutoGPT might be the next big step in AI.” | Lior Alexander, CEO of AlphaSignal |

| Describe the job in plain English and turn the conversation into a working agent. |

AgentsSee every agent, run, cost, and action that needs your attention.

MarketplaceStart from proven agents, add one to your library, and customize it for your work.

BuildDrag, connect, branch, and inspect blocks for exact control over every step.

The hosted Platform is publicly available. We manage the infrastructure, model access, credentials, reliability, and updates so you can focus on the work your agents perform.

Note

Self-hosting is the free path. You provide the infrastructure and model API keys, and you maintain the deployment. If you want zero setup, use the managed Platform.

macOS and Linux:

curl -fsSL https://setup.agpt.co/install.sh -o install.sh && bash install.sh

Windows PowerShell:

powershell -c "iwr https://setup.agpt.co/install.bat -o install.bat; ./install.bat"

AutoGPT Platform | Self-hosted | | |---|---|---| | Access | Public signup | Clone and install | | Cost | Paid plan plus agent usage | No license fee; pay your own infrastructure and model providers | | Setup | Managed | Docker and configuration required | | Model access | Built in | Bring your own API keys | | Updates and operations | Managed by AutoGPT | Managed by you | | Core builder and agent runtime | Included | Included | | Data and infrastructure control | Hosted by AutoGPT | Runs on your infrastructure | | Support | Plan-dependent | Community support |

Both paths use the same repository. Choose the managed Platform when you want agents running immediately; self-host when infrastructure control matters more than operational convenience.

Every agent run consumes real model usage, compute, storage, secrets management, and operational support. The managed Platform covers that infrastructure and funds continued development of the open-source project.

Self-hosting remains available without a license fee for people and teams that want to provide and operate those resources themselves.
