What it does
BabyAGI is an experimental framework aimed at a self-building autonomous agent. Its core, functionz, stores, manages and runs functions from a database, tracking imports, dependent functions and secret keys in a graph, with automatic loading and logging. A dashboard lets you register and update functions, view their dependencies, manage secret keys, read execution logs and set up triggers that run one function in response to another. You install it with pip and start the dashboard on your own machine. Two experimental self-building agents are included. One chooses between reusing a function it already has and writing new ones, and the other invents sample tasks for a described user and builds functions to handle them. The README calls these draft features and says the project is not meant for production use. The original March 2023 BabyAGI has been archived in a separate repository.
