[AutoPrompt](https://github.com/Eladlev/AutoPrompt) reports 3.0k GitHub stars, 263 forks, and 23 open issues, last pushed Dec 2, 2025. [AutoGPT](https://agpt.co) has 185k stars, 46k forks, and 494 open issues, last pushed Jul 11, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [AutoPrompt's repository](https://github.com/Eladlev/AutoPrompt) and [AutoGPT's repository](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT). | | [AutoPrompt](/tools/eladlev-autoprompt.md) | [AutoGPT](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | A framework for prompt tuning using Intent-based Prompt Calibration | AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on. | | Stars | 2,988 | 185,464 | | Forks | 263 | 46,111 | | Open issues | 23 | 494 | | Language | Python | Python | | Adopt for | - | AutoGPT is a Python-based tool for creating accessible autonomous AI agents that can leverage various LLM APIs including OpenAI's GPT and Anthropic's Claude. | | Persona | - | - | | Runtime | - | - | | License | Apache-2.0 | Other | | Categories | LLM Frameworks | LLM Frameworks, AI Agents | ## Trust and health _Sourced signals - not a safety guarantee.

Validate activity before betting a new project on AutoPrompt. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## When NOT to use AutoGPT - Avoid if you require absolute control over the underlying AI infrastructure and APIs used by your autonomous agents, as AutoGPT imposes its own framework. - If your project demands proprietary or specialized models that aren't supported by AutoGPT's API ecosystem (e.g., custom TensorFlow or PyTorch models), consider other tools. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between AutoPrompt and AutoGPT? AutoPrompt: A framework for prompt tuning using Intent-based Prompt Calibration. AutoGPT: AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on.. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose AutoPrompt over AutoGPT? Choose AutoPrompt over AutoGPT when License: AutoPrompt is Apache-2.0, AutoGPT is Other; Tags unique to AutoPrompt: synthetic-dataset-generation, python, prompt-tuning, prompt-engineering; Leaner open-issue backlog (23). ### When should I choose AutoGPT over AutoPrompt? Choose AutoGPT over AutoPrompt when License: AutoGPT is Other, AutoPrompt is Apache-2.0; Tags unique to AutoGPT: agents, llm, ai, artificial-intelligence; Also covers AI Agents; When you need to rapidly prototype or deploy an autonomous agent using existing language models without deep AI expertise. ### When should I avoid AutoPrompt? Last GitHub push was 221 days ago (slowing maintenance, Dec 2, 2025). Validate activity before betting a new project on AutoPrompt. LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ### When should I avoid AutoGPT? Avoid if you require absolute control over the underlying AI infrastructure and APIs used by your autonomous agents, as AutoGPT imposes its own framework. If your project demands proprietary or specialized models that aren't supported by AutoGPT's API ecosystem (e.g., custom TensorFlow or PyTorch models), consider other tools. ### Is AutoPrompt or AutoGPT more popular on GitHub? AutoGPT has more GitHub stars (185,464 vs 2,988). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are AutoPrompt and AutoGPT open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (AutoPrompt: Apache-2.0, AutoGPT: Other). ### Where can I find alternatives to AutoPrompt or AutoGPT? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [AutoPrompt alternatives](/tools/eladlev-autoprompt/alternatives) and [AutoGPT alternatives](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/alternatives) ([AutoPrompt markdown twin](/tools/eladlev-autoprompt/alternatives.md), [AutoGPT markdown twin](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/alternatives.md)), ranked by typed relationship edges rather than popularity votes. ### Is there a machine-readable version of this comparison? Yes. The markdown twin at [this comparison](/compare/eladlev-autoprompt-vs-significant-gravitas-autogpt.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, AutoPrompt or AutoGPT? AutoPrompt: Slowing. AutoGPT: Very active. Compare maintenance labels, days since push, and release cadence in the trust section below - stars alone do not measure maintenance. ### Where are the full trust reports for AutoPrompt and AutoGPT? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [AutoPrompt trust report](/tools/eladlev-autoprompt/trust); [AutoGPT trust report](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=eladlev-autoprompt`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=eladlev-autoprompt) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
