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

Clone the repository.
Install dependencies:

npm install

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.
