AutoGPT

AI-ASSISTANTS
Velocity7.5

Open-source autonomous AI agent platform that chains GPT outputs to accomplish goals.

AutoGPT is building a workforce: experts now get schedules, credits, and their own briefings.

Current state
The last three releases all advance one idea. v0.7.0 split the Copilot into experts with scoped sessions, identity context and a marketplace, on a rebuilt Better Auth foundation. v0.7.1 gives those experts schedules — attribution, triggers, thread posts and a credit guardrail — plus editable Soul documents, collapsible expert chat groups in the sidebar, and a briefing-first home built around a morning briefing and unified needs-attention view. Tavily search/extract/crawl/map blocks and Claude Sonnet 5 support land in the same release. Underneath, v0.6.69 had already taught the copilot bot to post into Slack and Telegram unprompted.
Where it's heading
The platform is converging on persistent, scheduled, individually-billed agents that report back rather than wait to be asked. Scheduling with a credit guardrail is the piece that makes that economically safe; Soul documents are the piece that makes each expert configurable by its owner. The briefing-first home is the consumption side of the same design — the user opens to what the agents did overnight. Release cadence is roughly weekly and the contributor list is small and consistent.
Prediction
Given scheduling, credit guardrails and a marketplace now coexist, per-expert monetisation or publishing by outside authors is the obvious next step. The Soul document format is also likely to grow structure.

    Expert scheduling, Soul documents, and a briefing-first home

    v0.7.1 fills in the expert model introduced one release earlier: scheduling with attribution, triggers, thread posts and a credit guardrail, editable Soul documents, grouped expert chats, and a briefing-first home. Tavily blocks and Claude Sonnet 5 support arrive alongside. Substantial, but it extends the expert and proactive-output directions already established rather than opening a new one.

    Rolling synthetic seed fixture for preview databases

    A rolling synthetic seed fixture for preview databases, so PR migrations run against populated tables. Pure CI infrastructure with no user-visible surface; it appears in the feed only because it is published as a repository release.

    Experts marketplace, scoped sessions, and a Better Auth migration

    ⚡ SPARK

    v0.7.0 introduces expert-scoped sessions with identity context and an experts marketplace with team pages and per-expert threads, while replacing Supabase Auth with Better Auth. It converts the Copilot from one assistant into a roster of scoped specialists, and it does so on a rebuilt identity foundation.

    Configurable transcription, clipboard images, and Library sorting

    v0.6.70 adds configurable transcription endpoints, clipboard image paste in Copilot chat, most-recently-ran sorting in the Library, and surfacing of skipped webhook presets. Input-surface and housekeeping work that fills in the Copilot experience ahead of the expert split.

    Agents start posting into Slack and Telegram on their own

    ⚡ SPARK

    v0.6.69 brings proactive posting and DM delivery for Slack and Telegram, plus an agent-building mode with a compaction-proof guide and automatic engine switching. It moves agents from waiting to be asked toward initiating contact in the channels users already occupy.
