[AutoGPT](https://agpt.co) reports 185k GitHub stars, 46k forks, and 494 open issues, last pushed Jul 11, 2026. [stackql](https://stackql.io/) has 861 stars, 80 forks, and 103 open issues, last pushed Jul 3, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [AutoGPT's repository](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT) and [stackql's repository](https://github.com/stackql/stackql). | | [AutoGPT](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt.md) | [stackql](/tools/stackql-stackql.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on. | Query, provision and operate Cloud, SaaS, API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) resources through a unified SQL-based framework for humans and AI agents. | | Stars | 185,464 | 861 | | Forks | 46,111 | 80 | | Open issues | 494 | 103 | | Language | Python | Go | | 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 | Other | MIT | | Categories | AI Agents, LLM Frameworks | AI Agents, Computer Vision, LLM Frameworks | ## Trust and health _Sourced signals - not a safety guarantee.

AutoGPT: AutoGPT is the vision of accessible AI for everyone, to use and to build on.. stackql: Query, provision and operate Cloud, SaaS, API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) resources through a unified SQL-based framework for humans and AI agents.. See the comparison table for live GitHub stats and shared categories. ### When should I choose AutoGPT over stackql? Choose AutoGPT over stackql when AutoGPT is primarily Python; stackql is Go; License: AutoGPT is Other, stackql is MIT; Tags unique to AutoGPT: agentic-ai, agents, ai, artificial-intelligence; When you need to rapidly prototype or deploy an autonomous agent using existing language models without deep AI expertise. ### When should I choose stackql over AutoGPT? Choose stackql over AutoGPT when stackql is primarily Go; AutoGPT is Python; License: stackql is MIT, AutoGPT is Other; Tags unique to stackql: ai-agents, asset-management, cloud, cloud-automation; Also covers Computer Vision. ### 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. ### When should I avoid stackql? 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. ### Is AutoGPT or stackql more popular on GitHub? AutoGPT has more GitHub stars (185,464 vs 861). Stars measure visibility, not whether either tool fits your constraints. ### Are AutoGPT and stackql open source? Yes - both are open-source projects on GitHub (AutoGPT: Other, stackql: MIT). ### Where can I find alternatives to AutoGPT or stackql? GraphCanon lists graph-backed alternatives at [AutoGPT alternatives](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/alternatives) and [stackql alternatives](/tools/stackql-stackql/alternatives) ([AutoGPT markdown twin](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/alternatives.md), [stackql markdown twin](/tools/stackql-stackql/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/significant-gravitas-autogpt-vs-stackql-stackql.md) mirrors this page for agents and LLM crawlers, with the same stats table and FAQ answers. ### Which is better maintained, AutoGPT or stackql? AutoGPT: Very active. stackql: 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 AutoGPT and stackql? GraphCanon publishes per-repo trust reports with dated maintenance, provenance, and scan summaries: [AutoGPT trust report](/tools/significant-gravitas-autogpt/trust); [stackql trust report](/tools/stackql-stackql/trust). --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=significant-gravitas-autogpt`](/api/graphcanon/graph?tool=significant-gravitas-autogpt) - 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/_
