AutoGPT for web app development is an autonomous agent that builds ReactJS, Flask, Express, etc. applications just from prompts, following the Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach. It starts by writing tests for a feature, then implements the code to pass the tests, runs the tests and fixes any issues.
The agent can successfuly build simple CRUD apps. The TDD approach helps to keep the agent focussed on the goal. If it gets stuck, just modify the prompt and restart.
This project is in early alpha stage. GPT-4 API key is required.
