AutoGPT Platform Overview and Actions

Summary

Repository: Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT — platform to build, deploy, and run continuous AI agents.
Purpose: Provide tools for creating, deploying, monitoring, and interacting with AI agents (self-hosted and cloud beta).
Structure: Contains autogpt_platform (Polyform Shield license) and classic projects (MIT license) including Forge, benchmark, frontend, CLI.
Main features: Agent Builder, Workflow Management, Deployment Controls, Monitoring/Analytics, Marketplace, Example agents, Server infrastructure, Frontend UI.
Languages: Predominantly Python (62.3%) and TypeScript (32.6%).

(no date – maintainers) Update agents or workflows to remove deprecated Exa Input.use_auto_prompt and use type="auto".
(no date – devs) Follow migration guide when upgrading Exa-related blocks (update config, test cost fields).
(no date – contributors) Use pnpm/corepack for frontend dev per migration notes.
(no date – ops) If using Supabase submodule, follow snapshot instructions to preserve existing DB volumes.

Migrated Exa integration to AsyncExa SDK across search, similar, contents, answers, and webhooks.
Added eight Websets API blocks for management, search, items, enrichment, import/export, monitor, polling, and search within websets.
Added special-purpose blocks: code_context (code search) and research (asynchronous web research with citations).
Centralized helpers and models in exa/helpers.py; removed deprecated exa/model.py.
Breaking change: removed Input.use_auto_prompt; set type = "auto" instead.
Added cost tracking models: CostDollars, CostCredits, CostDuration and new output fields like request_id and resolved_search_type.
Documentation and tests updated to reflect SDK migration and new blocks.
