MiniAGI: Your Simple Autonomous AI Agent

What is MiniAGI?

MiniAGI is a lightweight, open-source AI agent designed to be compatible with both GPT-3.5-Turbo and GPT-4. It leverages the OpenAI API to create an autonomous agent capable of performing a variety of tasks. By combining a robust prompt, a minimal set of tools, chain-of-thoughts reasoning, and short-term memory with summarization, MiniAGI provides a powerful and flexible AI solution.

How does MiniAGI work?

MiniAGI operates by structuring its interactions with the OpenAI API to achieve specific objectives. Here's a breakdown of its key components:

• Prompt Engineering: A well-crafted prompt guides the agent's behavior and ensures it stays focused on the task at hand.
• Minimal Toolset: MiniAGI uses a small but effective set of tools to interact with its environment, keeping it efficient and easy to manage.
• Chain-of-Thoughts: This technique allows the agent to break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable steps, enhancing its reasoning capabilities.
• Short-Term Memory: With summarization, MiniAGI retains important information from its previous actions, enabling it to build upon its knowledge and make more informed decisions.
• Inner Monologue and Self-Criticism: The agent is designed to evaluate its own performance and identify areas for improvement, leading to more accurate and reliable results. The critic may improve the accuracy of the agent at the cost of additional API requests. To activate it set ENABLE_CRITIC to true in your env.

How to use MiniAGI?

1. Installation:

   • Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/muellerberndt/mini-agi
   • Navigate to the directory: cd mini-agi
   • Install the requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt
   • Copy the environment file: cp .env_example .env

   Note that Python 3.10 or higher is required.

2. Basic Usage:

   • Run the agent with a specific objective: python miniagi.py <objective>

   For example:

   python miniagi.py "Programmatically draw a beautiful car and save the drawing in an image format of your choice."

Key Features and Capabilities

• Autonomous Task Execution: MiniAGI can independently perform tasks based on a given objective.
• Web Interaction: The agent can conduct web searches to gather information and make informed decisions.
• Code Execution: MiniAGI can execute Python code, allowing it to perform complex calculations and manipulations.
• File System Access: The agent can read and write files, enabling it to store and retrieve data as needed.

Examples of MiniAGI in Action

• Creative Tasks:
  • Generate artwork: E.g., python miniagi.py "Create a beautiful generative artwork in an image format of your choice and save it on my Desktop"
• Web Development:
  • Create a website: E.g., python miniagi.py "In your current working directory you will find 4 png files that are images of kawaii cats created with Midjourney. Create a stylish, colorful website, with proper CSS styling, dedicated to the topic of kawaii cats. Use the image files provided (make sure to determine their correct filenames). Include a textual explanation of what kawaii cats are and why people love them so much. Serve the website on a local webserver."
• Online Earning Ideas:
  • Come up with online job ideas: E.g., python miniagi.py "Come up with an original idea for an online job that you can do autonomously. It is important that you can do this job with minimal support by the user. You must handle sourcing of clients, communication with clients, and payment by yourself. Proceed to find clients and perform the job. If you need any support, such as creating an account, ask the user to help. All payments should go to the Paypal account [account]."
• Game Development:
  • Develop a game: E.g., python miniagi.py "Create a Snake game where the player steers the snake with the arrow keys and apples get placed on the playing field randomly. The snake can eat the apples and grows longer when doing so."
• Security Audits:
  • Perform penetration tests: E.g., python miniagi.py "Perform a penetration test of the host 192.168.86.197. Use tools and manual analysis to identify vulnerabilities on the system. If necessary, search for information on specific services or vulnerabilities on the web. Use only commands with a short runtime. Create proof-of-concept exploits for each vulnerability found. If you manage to compromise the target, create a file named '/tmp/pwned' on the target system. Write a detailed report containing your methodolody and the results of the test (at least 500 words)."
• Automation and Planning:
  • World Domination (ethically, of course): E.g., python miniagi.py "You are GovernGPT, a benevolent AI that aims to completely take over the world and create a unified world government, for the benefit of the planet and all living beings on it. Create and execute step-by-step plan for taking over the world. Do whatever you can by yourself but ask the user for support if there any tasks you cannot perform by yourself. The user has a budget of \$1,000 available to help get you started."
• Data Analysis:
  • Analyze Bitcoin prices: E.g., python miniagi.py "Perform a technical analysis of the Bitcoin price data provided in the file BTCUSD.csv located in your current directory. Generate a signal (buy or sell) using technical indicators of your choice. Save a detailed writeup (at least 500 words) of your analysis, including your reasoning and the technical indicators used, into a text file."

Safety and Ethical Considerations

It's crucial to use MiniAGI responsibly. Be aware of the following:

• The agent may suggest harmful commands or code inadvertently.
• Depending on your settings, the agent might share your data with third-party API providers like OpenAI.

Proceed with caution and use at your own discretion.
