DuetGPT

🎉 News: DuetGPT no longer uses langchain but instead OpenAI functions. This means a significant improvement in reliability and performance.

DuetGPT is an experimental AI powered CLI tool and semi-autonomous agent that helps developers with coding tasks and file system tasks. The developer describes tasks to the AI who then issues commands or follow-up questions for clarification. After approval by the developer, DuetGPT automatically executes the commands issued by the AI.

DuetGPT also does really well as a general bash helper.

Works with OpenAI models:

• gpt-3.5-turbo-0613 (does not produce any great code though)
• gpt-4-0613

Example tasks:

• Refactor index.js: add inline comments, improve variable naming.
• Write a bash script that lists all cars in the database.
• Find all files in current directory and subdirectories that contain the word "DuetGPT"
• Write a PR description based on the commit messages in the PR.

DuetGPT builds on OpenAI's GPT-4 language model and uses its conversational capabilities to engage in a two-way conversation with the developer. It uses the newly released feature of the OpenAI API that allows the AI to make function calls.

⚠️ DuetGPT has no guardrails! Make sure you understand the commands given by the AI before executing them. ⚠️

Here is a 30 second demo, use DuetGPT to build a Node.js app that draws a mandelbrot fractal using ASCII characters to the console:

mandelbrot.mp4

Setup

Install the DuetGPT CLI tool globally using npm:

npm install -g duet-gpt

Usage

To start DuetGPT, run the following command:

duet-gpt

You will be prompted to enter your OpenAI API key. You can find your API key on the OpenAI dashboard.

Setup for development

1. Clone the repository.

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Run DuetGPT using yarn:

npm start

Sample interaction

For the purposes of illustrating how interactions work, I chose a super simple task. Let's say you want to add .yarn/cache to .gitignore. Here is how to ask DuetGPT to help you with that:

Known issues

• When proposing changes to large files, the AI may return incomplete results. The gpt-4 context window is limited, DuetGPT works best with small files - one function per file is ideal.
