MiniAGI is a simple general-purpose autonomous AI agent built on the OpenAI API, compatible with GPT-3.5-Turbo and GPT-4. It combines a robust prompt with a minimal set of tools, chain-of-thought reasoning, short-term memory with summarization, inner monologue, and optional self-criticism.

Use cases

• run an autonomous AI agent to complete objectives
• have GPT-4 execute Python code and shell commands automatically
• experiment with minimal agent architectures and prompting
• build a website or draw images from a natural language objective
• explore chain-of-thought reasoning with short-term memory summarization
• study self-criticism and inner monologue in LLM agents

When to choose

• you want a minimal, readable codebase to learn how autonomous agents work
• you need a lightweight GPT-3.5/GPT-4 agent with a small toolset
• you want to experiment with agent prompting techniques like inner monologue and self-criticism

When to avoid

• you need a production-grade agent framework with extensive integrations and plugins
• you cannot send data to third-party API providers like OpenAI
• you need an actively developed project with recent updates
• you require strict safety guarantees, since the agent may suggest harmful commands or code
