# Voyager: An Open-Ended Embodied Agent with Large Language Models

An agent that writes its own tools: GPT-4 proposes tasks, writes executable code against the game API, verifies it works, and archives every verified program into an ever-growing skill library — skills that persist, compound, and transfer to unseen worlds.
