The `classic/` and all ## Choose when ### Choose CLI if… - Tags unique to CLI: automation, bash, cli. - Need precise control over AI chat inputs via scripts on Linux, MacOS or Windows - Leaner open-issue backlog (15). ### Choose AutoGPT if… - Tags unique to AutoGPT: agentic-ai, agents, artificial-intelligence, autonomous-agents. - When you need full control over your infrastructure and data, as self-hosting allows you to run AutoGPT on your own servers. - More GitHub stars (187k vs 551) - visibility, not fit. ## When NOT to use CLI - Seeking a stable tool for mission-critical automation workflows - Require comprehensive documentation and support as product is under early development ## When NOT to use AutoGPT - If you require immediate setup without the need for infrastructure management, as the managed service option is more suitable for quick deployment. - When you are looking for a fully managed solution with built-in model access, as the managed platform handles updates and operations for you. - If you are seeking a paid plan with plan-dependent support, as the self-hosted option relies on community support. ## Common questions ### What is the difference between CLI and AutoGPT?
