Artificial intelligence has come a long way, and one of the recent breakthroughs in AI technology is AutoGPT. ๐ค Get ready to learn how it can help you save time and boost your productivity!
What Is AutoGPT? ๐ค
Auto-GPT, a truly autonomous AI agent built on OpenAI’s GPT-4 or GPT-3.5 APIs, accomplishes goals in natural language by dividing them into sub-tasks and leveraging the internet and other tools in a self-sustained loop.
To achieve its goals, AutoGPT can browse the web, write files on your computer, create and execute code, and use memory and learnings from its own experience.
In practice, AutoGPT brings a whole new dimension to language models and automation: it is a machine that works independently of your time, it prompts itself, and tries to make things happen. Trial and error is a powerful strategy in the evolution of a new intelligent species! ๐คฏ
I have created an article that shows you how to get started with AutoGPT and how to integrate it with your own OpenAI API key. See here: ๐

Let’s dive into some of the best use cases of AutoGPT that can truly change the way you approach your professional and personal projects! ๐
Use Case 1: Let AutoGPT Be Your Intern Working for You 24/7
Karan Doshi has used AutoGPT to create an intern in a business setting that finds bookings from a database designing an SQL query by itself, select the new bookings, and perform a certain action every six hours such as sending those “fresh hot leads” a message:
Previously, you had to literally pay a human being to create or execute on the automation. Now, AutoGPT does it for you for free!
๐ฆ Automate the Boring Tasks … with AutoGPT!
Here’s the tweet where Karan shares his idea of using AutoGPT as a personal intern:
#AutoGPT is making automation possible. ๐ฑ
— Karan Doshi (@KaranDoshi13) April 17, 2023
We built an intern that does things by itself – just tell it what to do. It understands all tables in your database, writes SQL queries automatically, and sends notifications on your Slack channels.

Use Case 2: Let AutoGPT Be Your AI-Powered Researcher
AutoGPT is an AI-powered toolyou can use as your own, personal, research assistant. Doesn’t it sound beautiful to finally get your own research assistant?
It can do simple tasks such as research topics to create a podcast about, prepare for your next presentation, accumulate statistics and facts for a research paper, give you some marketing ideas and product angles.
If you’re a researcher, why not use it to collect data and let it generate short summaries you can use for your first survey paper? ๐
You can even use AutoGPT to research business ideas on the web, find underserved niches on Twitter, or find investment ideas that are currently “hot”. ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Why Does It Work? AutoGP integrates with vector databases and memory storage solutions, which enables it to retain context and make informed decisions. When you assign a project to AutoGPT, it performs tasks to fulfill the project requirements. This ability to generate text and perform web-based actions, allows you to use AutoGPT to automate research tasks such as data collection, analysis, and report writing. This makes it a powerful tool for researchers who want to save time and effort while still producing high-quality work.
Unlike ChatGPT, AutoGPT has access to real-time data from the Internet. The world is your oyster!
I found this ResearchGPT test run on Twitter:
Use Case 3: Let AutoGPT Build Your Own Website in 3 Minutes
Many early adopters report that AutoGPT can create impressive websites all on its own!
AutoGPT can be used to create a website by generating content and designing the website layout. With its ability to generate text and perform web-based actions, AutoGPT can create a functioning website for you in no time.
Simply provide a prompt like “create a website for my business”, and some follow-up prompts to tailor it to your needs, and AutoGPT will identify the target audience, develop a marketing strategy, and even design the website layout.
Here’s a user reporting how AutoGPT created a React website in 3 minutes:
Alright, this is getting too crazy. Soon you won't even need to code anymore.
— Sully (@SullyOmarr) April 7, 2023
I setup AutoGPT and it I asked it to build a website for me.
And it succeeded. In under 3 minutes. Using react and tailwindcss. All by itself. pic.twitter.com/OW7qSNqq2B
He gave it the following instructions and called it “FullStackGPT, an autonomous AI designed to build websites using ReactJS and TailwindCSS”:
๐จโ๐ป My Opinion: Yes, this is a simple website that could be created without AutoGPT quickly.
But this only took a couple of minutes to create. I think most people underestimate what AutoGPT can do if you give it much more time, say a week or two, working on one problem and trying different things, fail, learn, and adjust.
Most people abort AutoGPT way too early — you wouldn’t hire a coder and fire it the same day before completing their project, would you?
AutoGPT can help you have a website up and running in a day while you drink coffee waiting for it to finish.
Use Case 4: AutoGPT Discord Bot
You can use AutoGPT to create automated responses and chatbots on Discord. AutoGPT can create custom responses to specific prompts in Discord channels. For example, this is useful for customer support or create a fun chatbot conversation starter writing about interesting topics, e.g., from Twitter.
Now, if you’re like me you’ll ask: what’s the difference between AutoGPT versus normal GPT Discord bots?
The main difference between AutoGPT and normal GPT Discord bots is that AutoGPT can perform many tasks beyond just generating text.
It can visit the Internet!! ๐
For example, you can let AutoGPT research interesting topics (e.g., on Twitter or Reddit) and repost those topics on Discord to keep the community engaged. I have not tried this on the Finxter Mastermind Group but some real projects have been tested already!
While normal GPT Discord bots are limited to generating text-based responses to specific prompts, AutoGPT can also perform web-based actions such as data collection, analysis, and report writing.
Another difference is that AutoGPT integrates with vector databases and memory storage solutions, allowing it to retain context and make informed decisions. Nothing your Discord bot can do without AutoGPT!
Use Case 5: AutoGPT to Create a Twitter + Affiliate Marketing Passive Income Business
Simple business ideas are often the most powerful ones. AutoGPT is perfectly suited to create a simple online social media business. You can tell it to create and maintain a Twitter account in a certain niche (e.g., recipes) and build a following over time (e.g., moms). Then you can give it an Amazon affiliate link to generate affiliate income for you selling products that are relevant to your niche (e.g., knives).
You can even tell it to figure out the niche on its own!
There are many AutoGPT-based Twitter bots out there, but like so many early adopters most haven’t been persistent enough running it for a couple of months or so to truly build a loyal following!
๐จโ๐ป I think I’ve seen somewhere that the creator of AutoGPT has also created an AutoGPT-based Twitter account with a couple of thousand of followers but I couldn’t find it anymore.
I tried searching for it using terms like “autogpt-based twitter account” but this was a waste of time. Duh. ๐
