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.

.Choose either stable or development.
For stable release:
python -m pip install gpt-engineer
For development:
git clone https://github.com/AntonOsika/gpt-engineer.git
cd gpt-engineer
python -m pip install -e .
make install && source venv/bin/activate

gpt-engineer --help
lets you see all available options. For example --steps use_feedback
lets you improve/fix code in a project)By running gpt-engineer you agree to our terms.
Results
Check the generated files in projects/my-new-project/workspace
Alternatives
You can check Docker instructions to use Docker, or simply do everything in your browser:
You can specify the "identity" of the AI agent by editing the files in the preprompts
folder.
Editing the preprompts
, and evolving how you write the project prompt, is 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
.
The gpt-engineer community is building the open platform for devs to tinker with and build their personal code-generation toolbox.
