GPT-3 or GPT-4?

GPT-3.5

Steps to reproduce 🕹

Provide credentials for the API’s you want the AI to use (continuous mode)

Current behavior 😯

I’m attempting to have it send emails via Postmarks email Api. I give it the credentials it needs to call the api. The bot calls the api, but never uses the credentials I provide. It just puts a generic “your_token” when creating the scripts. I even gave it and email to use and it left that out as well.

Expected behavior 🤔

Provide the credentials the AI needs to call your desired API’s, the AI uses the credentials and executes the code correctly.

Your prompt 📝

# AI, your purpose is to send an email to '[tesr@yahoo.com](mailto:test@yahoo.com)' with the message "Hello, how are you?" using the Postmark email API. Use the server token "My_token" and the from email '[test@test.com](mailto:test@test.com)'. To learn how to accomplish this, visit the following webpage: https://postmarkapp.com/send-email/python. Ensure that you set the server token to "My_token" during implementation.

Yeah I'm also a little confused about how to feed it API keys. It doesn't seem to recognize them whether I set them as environment variables, put them in a text file, or use data_ingestion.py to preseed them

I would like some kind of folder labeled "API Keys" or something that AutoGPT always reads on startup

Or add a custom section to the .env file for user defined API keys

[jeffmercury]

Ideally we shouldn’t even need a folder to house our API creds. The AI should be able to utilize what’s provided in the prompt the user submits. I see there’s a plug-in for sending emails, but this limits the AI, we should be able to use whatever third party API we have access to. Im running my instance through docker as well.
