[eko](https://fellou.ai/eko) reports 4.9k GitHub stars, 440 forks, and 11 open issues, last pushed Mar 3, 2026. [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 [eko's repository](https://github.com/FellouAI/eko) and [AutoGPT's repository](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT). | | [eko](/tools/fellouai-eko.md) | [AutoGPT](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | Eko (Eko Keeps Operating) - Build Production-ready Agentic Workflow with Natural Language - eko.fellou.ai | AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on. | | Stars | 4,937 | 185,464 | | Forks | 440 | 46,111 | | Open issues | 11 | 494 | | Language | TypeScript | 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 | MIT | Other | | Categories | AI Agents, LLM Frameworks, Inference & Serving | LLM Frameworks, AI Agents | ## Trust and health _Sourced signals - not a safety guarantee.

Validate activity before betting a new project on eko. - AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. - Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. ## 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 eko and AutoGPT? eko: Eko (Eko Keeps Operating) - Build Production-ready Agentic Workflow with Natural Language - eko.fellou.ai. 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 eko over AutoGPT? Choose eko over AutoGPT when eko is primarily TypeScript; AutoGPT is Python; License: eko is MIT, AutoGPT is Other; Tags unique to eko: agentic-framework, agentic-workflow, browser-automation, agentic-ai-development; Also covers Inference & Serving. ### When should I choose AutoGPT over eko? Choose AutoGPT over eko when AutoGPT is primarily Python; eko is TypeScript; License: AutoGPT is Other, eko is MIT; Tags unique to AutoGPT: llm, ai, artificial-intelligence, autonomous-agents; When you need to rapidly prototype or deploy an autonomous agent using existing language models without deep AI expertise. ### When should I avoid eko? Last GitHub push was 130 days ago (slowing maintenance, Mar 3, 2026). Validate activity before betting a new project on eko. AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism. LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. Inference & Serving: Self-hosting rarely beats a hosted API on cost until you have steady, high-volume traffic. ### 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 eko or AutoGPT more popular on GitHub? AutoGPT has more GitHub stars (185,464 vs 4,937). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are eko and AutoGPT open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (eko: MIT, AutoGPT: Other). ### Where can I find alternatives to eko or AutoGPT? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [eko alternatives](/tools/fellouai-eko/alternatives) and [AutoGPT alternatives](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/alternatives) ([eko markdown twin](/tools/fellouai-eko/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/fellouai-eko-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, eko or AutoGPT? eko: 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 eko and AutoGPT? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [eko trust report](/tools/fellouai-eko/trust); [AutoGPT trust report](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=fellouai-eko`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=fellouai-eko) - 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/_
