GPT Engineer: Generate Codebase with AI Prompting

GPT Engineer is a Github repository that allows users to generate an entire codebase by providing a prompt which the AI then clarifies and builds upon. Its philosophy is to provide a simple and flexible user experience, with the ability to add new "AI Steps". Users can specify the "identity" of the AI agent and the agent's communication history with GPT4 is stored in logs. The repository is open to contributors and its limitations include the need to implement additional chain of thought prompting. To use GPT Engineer, users can install its requirements, provide an openai API key with GPT4 access, create a new folder with a main prompt file, fill in the prompt, and run the program.
