## What it is
GPT Pilot was an AI coding agent that aimed to act as an 'AI developer', generating full applications step-by-step from a specification using GPT-4. The repository is no longer maintained and hosted a supply-chain worm (credential stealer) in its telemetry code from August 2025 until June 2026.

## Use cases
- generate a full application from a prompt with an ai developer
- ai coding assistant that writes code step by step
- use gpt-4 to scaffold and build software projects
- autonomous ai pair programmer for app development

## When to choose
- you are researching historical AI code-generation tools or the security incident itself

## When to avoid
- you want to run the tool - it is unmaintained and contained malware between Aug 2025 and Jun 2026
- you cloned and ran it from source in that window - rotate all credentials instead
- you need a reliable, supported AI coding agent for production work
- you cannot audit the codebase thoroughly before execution

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: llm-inference, agent-framework, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, artificial-intelligence, large-language-models, security
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: ai-developer, coding-assistant, supply-chain-compromise, credential-stealer, unmaintained, security-incident, gpt-4, codegen
