GPTEngineerTurn natural language prompts into working code and apps, fast.

GPT Engineer is a platform that converts natural language prompts into working code and applications quickly. It allows users to specify software requirements in natural language and watch as an AI writes and executes the code. The platform also supports implementing improvements to existing code. The tool is suitable for developers and users who want to rapidly prototype and build software applications. GPT Engineer works by taking a prompt file as input, which contains instructions for the AI to generate or improve code. Key features of GPT Engineer include its ability to generate code based on natural language prompts, support for improving existing code, and benchmarking custom agents against popular public datasets. The platform supports Python 3.10-3.12 and uses the OpenAI API. Users can install GPT Engineer using pip, set up an API key, and run the tool using Docker or in their browser. The platform also provides documentation and a roadmap for future development. GPT Engineer is an open-source tool, but a commercial version called gptengineer.app exists, offering a managed service for automatic web app generation.
