How to Create AutoGPT Plugins

AutoGPT plugins can be created to improve the functionality of Auto GPT and customize its operations to meet specific needs or requirements. In this article, we will explain how to create AutoGPT plugins.

Steps to Create AutoGPT plugins

  1. Download or clone the plugin repository.
  2. Install any dependencies for the plugin by navigating to the plugin's folder in the terminal and running the command to install any necessary dependencies.
  3. Package the plugin into a Zip file.
  4. Copy the Zip file plugin into the Auto-GPT repository's plugins folder.
  5. Allow the plugin to be listed, which can be done by adding the plugin’s class name to the ALLOWLISTED_PLUGINS in the .env file.

If the plugin is not added to the allowlisted, you will receive a warning before it's loaded.

To demonstrate how to create AutoGPT plugins, we have created a Twitter plugin that enables users to tweet within Auto GPT. This plugin can be found on Github and features the following function: post_tweet(tweet).

Please copy and paste this code into your Twitter plugin directory, and adjust it as per your preferences.
