**Specify what you want it to build, the AI asks for clarification, and then builds it.**

GPT Engineer is made to be easy to adapt, extend, and make your agent learn how you want your code to look. It generates an entire codebase based on a prompt.

[Demo](https://twitter.com/antonosika/status/1667641038104674306) 👶🤖

## Project philosophy
- Simple to get value
- Flexible and easy to add new own "AI steps". See `steps.py`.
- Incrementally build towards a user experience of:
  1. high level prompting
  2. giving feedback to the AI that it will remember over time
- Fast handovers back and forth between AI and human
- Simplicity, all computation is "resumable" and persisted to the filesystem

## Setup
- `git clone git@github.com:AntonOsika/gpt-engineer.git`
- `cd gpt-engineer`
- `pip install -e .`
  - (or: `make install && source venv/bin/activate` for a venv)

With an api key that has GPT4 access run:

- `export OPENAI_API_KEY=[your api key]`


**Run**:
- Create an empty folder. If inside the repo, you can run:
  - `cp -r projects/example/ projects/my-new-project`
- Fill in the `main_prompt` file in your new folder
- Run: `gpt-engineer projects/my-new-project`

**Results**
- Check the generated files in `projects/my-new-project/workspace`


## Features
You can specify the "identity" of the AI agent by editing the files in the `identity` folder.

Editing the identity, and evolving the `main_prompt`, is currently how you make the agent remember things between projects.

Each step in `steps.py` will have its communication history with GPT4 stored in the logs folder, and can be rerun with `scripts/rerun_edited_message_logs.py`.

## Contributing
We are building the open platform for devs to tinker with and build their personal code-generation toolbox.

If you want to contribute, please check out the [roadmap](https://github.com/AntonOsika/gpt-engineer/blob/main/ROADMAP.md), [projects](https://github.com/AntonOsika/gpt-engineer/projects?query=is%3Aopen) or [issues tab](https://github.com/AntonOsika/gpt-engineer/issues) in the GitHub repo. You are welcome to read the [contributing document](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and join our [Discord 💬](https://discord.gg/4t5vXHhu).

We are currently looking for more maintainers and community organisers. Email anton.osika@gmail.com if you are interested in an official role.
