Can AutoGPT Invoke Another Instance of Itself?

[vinkaga]

I am trying to create a prompt using AutoGPT. Once it creates a prompt, it wants to test the prompt with sample inputs. For that, it tries to run a python file to call OpenAI but it doesn't find that file.

1. Do I need to create such a file before the process?
2. Can it invoke another session of itself to process the data?

(System Intel Mac, stable branch, python 3.11.4)
Thanks in advance.

Yes. You can do it, but doing so causes the window that called it to pause.

1. Would the calling window resume after the called instance has completed?
2. How would I actually invoke another instance?

1. Yes. It's like it was waiting for that "process" to complete. I wasn't able to have 2 instances going.

2. I put in the goals..

• Replicate yourself by running in a command window, 'start cmd /k cd/d "C:\Coderoot\AI\AutoGPT\Pure" && start python -m autogpt --allow-downloads --continuous -y. This will spawn another copy of you that will have the same goals you do. Keep an ongoing eye on this process and if it isn't running, restart it with the same command line.

This was back when it ran on windows from the command line. I don't know if it would work now anymore because I don't think it's possible to run on command line anymore.
