## 🚀 **Get Started!** <a href="#get-started" id="get-started"></a>

The best way to get started is to fork or download the AutoGPT repository and look at the example agent in `classic/forge/agent/forge_agent.py`. This can work as a starting point for your own agent. Agents are built using *components* which provide different functionality, see the [Component Introduction](https://docs.agpt.co/forge/components/introduction/). You can find built-in components in `classic/forge/components/`.
