Smartgpt

SmartGPT is an experimental Rust program that gives language models, particularly GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, a plugin-based workflow for breaking complex tasks into smaller problems, gathering information from the internet and other sources, and returning a result.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use SmartGPT when experimenting with a configurable LLM workflow that plans subtasks and uses plugins to gather information or perform actions.

Who it is for

  • Developers exploring LLM-driven, multi-step task workflows.
  • Users who want to configure plugin-based research and tool use in a local program.

Documented uses

  • Give a Runner a complex task to decompose and attempt to complete.
  • Gather information using plugin-provided tools such as web search and URL browsing.
  • Compose Autos and configure their behavior through a generated `config.yml`.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is a public GitHub repository licensed under MIT. The documented setup uses Cargo and runs from a cloned repository.

  • The program is explicitly experimental; its README says stability is sacrificed and backward compatibility is not a priority.
  • The project describes its long-term memory as simple and limited.
  • Plugins define the available tools, so the task workflow depends on the tools configured for the Auto.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up SmartGPT from its repository

Install the program, generate its configuration file and prepare it for a subsequent run.

Before you start

  • Cargo, preferably the latest stable version
  • A shell for cloning and running the repository

Steps

  1. Install Cargo.

  2. Clone the SmartGPT repository and change into its directory.

  3. Run the command below to generate config.yml.

    Documented command
    cargo run --release

  4. Adjust the configuration and execute the program again.

Expected outcome

The program has generated a configuration file that you can adjust before running it again.

Guide limitations

  • The setup instructions do not specify the configuration values needed for a particular task or plugin.
  • The project describes itself as experimental and warns that stability and backward compatibility are not priorities.
