About AutoGPT
AutoGPT bets on an AI staff model — Experts marketplace deepens every week
AutoGPT has pivoted from a freeform agent framework to a platform where you hire AI experts — preconfigured agentic personas with isolated memory, scoped integrations, and dedicated thread history. The 0.7.x series ships weekly, adding scheduling, voice briefings, per-expert spend tracking, and now integration-level isolation per expert. Auth was replaced (Supabase to Better Auth) and a single-source LLM catalog now supports models including Claude Sonnet 5.
