Describe the job. Watch it run.
AutoPilot turns a plain-English request into a scheduled, running AI agent — clarifying questions first, connected tools picked for you, outputs you can check.

How it works
Plain English in. Working agents out.
No canvas to learn, no blocks to wire on day one. You talk; AutoPilot builds, connects, and runs the agent for you.
Create
From sentence to agent.
AutoPilot creates and edits agents from conversation. Its built-in expertise picks the right blocks and tools for the job, and it asks the clarifying questions a good contractor would — before it builds, not after it breaks.
- Builds new agents from a plain-English request
- Selects blocks, tools, and integrations with built-in expertise
- Captures clarifying questions before it builds
- Edits any existing agent the same way — just reply
Trust
Work you can check.
Every run produces artifacts you can open and judge. When an agent isn’t sure — or you’ve asked to stay in the loop — it stops and waits for your approval instead of guessing. Setup requirements such as connecting Gmail are surfaced before the first run, not as a 2 AM failure.
- Outputs land as openable artifacts — documents, tables, code
- Human-in-the-loop reviews: approve or reject pending actions
- Gmail, Slack, and CRM connections requested up front
Run
Set it once. It stays set.
Schedules and triggers come straight out of the conversation — “every weekday at 8” becomes a real schedule. Refine the agent later in plain English, and drop files into the chat for it to work from.
- Schedules and triggers created from chat
- Refine behavior in plain English — no rebuild
- File-aware: drop documents into the conversation
How it compares
Anyone can run an agent.
Only AutoGPT lets you build, own, and run it.
Background agents are everywhere now. AutoGPT is the only one with a visual builder, a marketplace of ready-made agents, and open source you can self-host — so the agents working for you are actually yours.
