Wish it were possible to “deploy” an example agent without signing up. Even if the output were faked, it would help a lot to understand what this does. (I assume it’s “Geocities for AI agents” but couldn’t confirm.)

  Almost 23k stars!? Isn't that kind of crazy for a new niche project like this you've never heard of?

    Stars are a weird thing. Some people seem to believe they're like likes on social media, or even that they indicate actual use. There's probably sites selling you fake stars, like they sell fake Instagram followers. However, many people, myself included, treat Github stars as just bookmarks, and star things they found interesting or possibly worth coming back to, regardless of the quality or whether one has any use for it.

    A lot of that is bought stars for sure, take a look at some of the profiles and you can tell immediately.

      Interesting. So this combined with the fact that other comment say this is an incredibly thin wrapper on GPT-4 makes this some kind of investment bait? I wonder how profitable selling of non-products is with marketing like this.

I was mad about this too, but I'm interested enough that I was going to register. I use a custom domain and so would use something like "agent-gpt@customdomain.com" Anyway, they don't allow email signups, either. You have to use a social media login. So the pie gets even smaller. Edit: also the logo is not displaying properly on the signing page (Firefox, linux)

There are a couple of challenges with making this stuff completely open like that right now. The first is that OpenAI has rate limits. They are especially small for GPT-4, which for anything complicated can be quite a lot better than 3.5. The other one is that if you do leave it open, then you can be sure that a significant portion of your customers will be from countries that could not pass the OpenAI phone verification. Or just didn't want to identify themselves. For some reason. Combine that with something that scares some people a lot like autonomous AI or connecting them to servers or the internet, and it feels like you might be on thin ice with OpenAI or some regulatory group. Especially if a bunch of Russian and Chinese users are finding you on some directory or post listed as a way to get around the phone verification. Just based on experience running my own service.

  Hence the "Even if the output were faked". Heck, even a video/screen recording would be a significant improvement.
