Introduction
After covering BabyAGI library in the earlier lesson, we will delve deep into the mechanics of AutoGPT, another popular type of autonomous agent, demonstrating how it employs multiple tools and memory systems to perform and manage tasks autonomously.
What is AutoGPT
Unlike traditional language models that generate text based solely on the input they receive, AutoGPT combines a set of tools and a memory system to interact with its environment, retrieve past interactions, and generate more informed responses.
AutoGPT distinguishes itself with three critical features. First, its internet connectivity provides real-time access to information, bolstering its research abilities. Second, its planning capability enables it to generate and pursue sub-tasks that contribute to the completion of a main task. Lastly, it has the power to execute tasks, even to the extent of initiating other AI agents. While these features offer huge potential, they also present challenges, such as inadvertent task looping or prematurely assuming task completion.
Through internet browser plugins and other forms of access, AutoGPT gathers the information needed to execute tasks.
An external memory serves as its context-aware module, enabling it to understand its current situation, generate new tasks, and even self-correct if necessary. As a result, AutoGPT operates dynamically, continually re-prioritizing tasks based on the context and situation.
AutoGPT in Langchain
As always, the first step is to set up the API keys as environment variables.
Langchain has recently (as of August 2023) moved some classes from "langchain.experimental" to another library called "library_experimental", in an attempt to make the "langchain" library smaller. If you try the following code with the suggested version “langchain==0.0.208” it should work fine, but if you want to run it with the latest langchain version then you have to (1) install the experimental library with “pip install langchain-experimental” and (2) replace all the occurrences of “langchain.experimental” with “langchain_experimental”.
import os
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "<YOUR-OPENAI-API-KEY>"
os.environ["GOOGLE_API_KEY"] = "<YOUR-GOOGLE-SEARCH-API-KEY>"
os.environ["GOOGLE_CSE_ID"] = "<YOUR-CUSTOM-SEARCH-ENGINE-ID>"Tools Setup
We initialize different tools that the AI agent can use to complete tasks. In our case, the tools are Search, WriteFileTool, and ReadFileTool. The Search tool utilizes a GoogleSearchAPIWrapper to fetch real-time information from the internet, which can be employed for questions about current events or queries that need up-to-date information. The WriteFileTool and ReadFileTool manage file-related tasks. These tools are collected into a list that will be later passed to the agent. Remember to install the required packages with the following command: pip install langchain==0.0.208 deeplake openai==0.27.8 tiktoken.
from langchain.utilities import GoogleSearchAPIWrapper
from langchain.agents import Tool
from langchain.tools.file_management.write import WriteFileTool
from langchain.tools.file_management.read import ReadFileTool
#Set up the tools
search = GoogleSearchAPIWrapper()
tools = [
Tool(
name = "search",
func=search.run,
description="Useful for when you need to answer questions about current events. You should ask targeted questions",
return_direct=True
),
WriteFileTool(),
ReadFileTool(),
]Agent Memory Setup
For the memory, we create the FAISS vector DB (but any other vector DB would work similarly), an efficient similarity search, and clustering of dense vectors. This is paired with an InMemoryDocstore instance for storing documents in memory and an OpenAIEmbeddings model for creating embeddings of the queries. These tools are crucial for the agent's remembering and retrieving past interactions.
AutoGPT has been designed to operate over longer periods. AutoGPT has incorporated a retrieval-based memory system that functions over intermediate agent steps to do that.
This memory performs a semantic search across embeddings using the vector DB. While such retrieval-based memory is a part of LangChain, it was traditionally used for user and agent interactions, not agent and tools. AutoGPT's new adaptation represents a significant shift in how this memory system is applied. If you get the error Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement faiss (from versions: none)install the faiss library pip install faiss-cpu.
# Set up the memory
from langchain.vectorstores import FAISS
from langchain.docstore import InMemoryDocstore
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings
embeddings_model = OpenAIEmbeddings(model="text-embedding-ada-002")
embedding_size = 1536
import faiss
index = faiss.IndexFlatL2(embedding_size)
vectorstore = FAISS(embeddings_model.embed_query, index, InMemoryDocstore({}), {})Setting up the Model and AutoGPT
Here we initialize the AutoGPT agent, giving it a name ("Jim") and a role ("Assistant"). We also supplied it with the tools and memory systems that were established in the previous steps. The language model being used here is ChatOpenAI, which is set to have a temperature of 0 (indicating deterministic responses).
# Set up the model and AutoGPT
from langchain.experimental import AutoGPT
from langchain.chat_models import ChatOpenAI
agent = AutoGPT.from_llm_and_tools(
ai_name="Jim",
ai_role="Assistant",
tools=tools,
llm=ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", temperature=0),
memory=vectorstore.as_retriever()
)
# Set verbose to be true
agent.chain.verbose = TrueRunning an Example
Finally, we provided an example task for the AutoGPT agent. This task ("Provide an analysis of the major historical events that led to the French Revolution") is complex and requires the agent to utilize its tools and memory system effectively to generate a response.
The agent takes some minutes to generate the final answer, but we get a peek into all the intermediate computations thanks to having set the verbose variable to True.
Since there are a lot of intermediate computations and the output is very long, we’ll see here only its crucial parts, giving a quick explanation of them.
task = "Provide an analysis of the major historical events that led to the French Revolution"
agent.run([task])The first part of the printed output will look like the following.

[]
Human: Determine which next command to use, and respond using the format specified above:***This is the prompt that AutoGPT sends to the LLM for a text continuation. From it, we see:
- That role-prompting is used at the beginning, having an autonomous assistant called Jim.
- The goal that the assistant should pursue, i.e., “Provide an analysis of the major historical events that led to the French Revolution.”
- A set of constraints explicitly explain to the LLM that it has limited memory and that memories are saved into txt files, from which they can also be retrieved.
- A set of commands that the assistant can issue, i.e. (1) “search” to look for external knowledge using a search engine, (2) “write_file” to write content into a file (for storing memories), (3) “read_file” to read content from a file (for retrieving memories) and (4) “Finish” to return the final result and stop the computations.
- The assistant can use a set of high-level resources, like Internet access and an LLM agent, to perform single tasks.
- A set of instructions about continuously refining the assistant plan.
- A response format that the assistant should conform to when answering. Notice that the response format “forces” the LLM into explicitly writing its thinking, reasoning, and a devised plan (i.e., a bullet point list of steps to reach the aforementioned goal). Then, the agent criticizes the plan (i.e., explains what it needs to be careful of) and writes in the “speak” field a natural language explanation of the next action it’s going to do from its plan. All these fields explicitly lead the LLM to think about the next step to do and eventually output a command.
- Last, the prompt also contains the current time and date and a list of similar past events (which is now empty but won’t be empty in the successive interactions with the assistant).
Let’s see how the agent’s output is to that prompt. Here the output continues:
{
"thoughts": {
"text": "I need to provide an analysis of the major historical events that led to the French Revolution. I should start by researching the key events that led to the revolution and organizing them chronologically.",
"reasoning": "I need to have a clear understanding of the events that led to the French Revolution before I can provide an analysis. Organizing the events chronologically will help me to better understand the sequence of events and how they contributed to the revolution.",
"plan": "- Research the key events that led to the French Revolution\n- Organize the events chronologically\n- Analyze the events to determine their significance in the lead up to the revolution",
"criticism": "I need to make sure that I am not overlooking any important events or factors that contributed to the French Revolution. I should also be careful not to get bogged down in too much detail and lose sight of the big picture.",
"speak": "I will start by researching the key events that led to the French Revolution and organizing them chronologically."
},
"command": {
"name": "search",
"args": {
"tool_input": "Key events that led to the French Revolution"
}
}
} Here, the agent wrote the output in the expected JSON format. Reading through the “text” and “reasoning,” we see what the agent has thought about before devising the “plan.” Then, the plan is criticized in the “criticism” field, and a natural language explanation is written in the “speak” field. Last, the agent selected as command the “search” command, with the "Key events that led to the French Revolution" value for the “tool_input” parameter.
Once the “search” tool returns its answer, we see the next prompt created by AutoGPT. We’ll show mainly the parts of the prompt which are different from the previous prompt.
