AutoGPT is a pioneering autonomous-agent platform for building, deploying, and running continuous AI agents that automate multi-step workflows. It offers a low-code/visual block-based agent builder and a full server platform. When self-hosted (single Docker Compose command), users bring their own model API keys; the platform's LLM blocks support OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, Ollama (local), and Open Router (which fronts Gemini, Mistral, Cohere, DeepSeek, Perplexity, etc.), plus AIML API, Llama API, and Vercel v0, each configured via user-supplied api_key credentials. A managed hosted cloud tier also exists where model usage is covered by a paid plan (no BYOK there).
Why this trust score (78/100)
Trust measures how the tool treats your API key and how much of that has been verified. It contains no popularity signal.
- Key Safety 21/25: The key lives in a deployment you run yourself.
- Request Routing 17/20: Requests go straight from you to the AI provider.
- Transparency 15/20: Source is public, though the licence is unclear or non-standard.
- Privacy 14/15: Local-first: it works without sending your data anywhere. Can be self-hosted, so the data path stays inside infrastructure you control.
- Maintenance 10/10: Actively developed: commits within the last three months.
- Verification Confidence 1/10: Compiled from public documentation by an AI-assisted pass, not independently confirmed.

How your API key is handled
You self-host the app, so your API key lives in your own deployment. Requests are sent directly to the AI provider. Because it can be self-hosted, your key never has to touch a third-party backend.
Setup
Deploy it (Docker/compose), add your provider API key in the admin or environment config, then select models.
