Open Source Agents For Founders & Creators
Directory of Free AI Agents
Hi! As we continued to investigate the topic of agent implementation, we came across the cool project Awesome AI Agents by e2b-dev. It's a repository with over a hundred agents for creators, founders, and entrepreneurs.
Today, we discuss this project and share the most valuable open-source solutions.
Let’s get started.

Awesome AI Agents | Overview
Awesome AI Agents is a list of popular AI apps and AI agents curated by E2B, a startup that provides a cloud runtime for agents. This list is hosted on GitHub under the repository e2b-dev/awesome-ai-agents.
The idea is to create a one-stop resource for creators, developers, and just plain enthusiasts who want to incorporate agents into everyday work. If you develop your own agents, you can join the list to find new users and get feedback. It includes both open-source and closed-source projects.
The first section collects AI agents that are freely available for use and modification, allowing you to adapt these tools to their needs.
And the second presents proprietary solutions developed by various companies specializing in AI. These tools may require licensing fees and often offer advanced features and specialized support.
The product categories are limited only to the interests of the community. Currently, most Awesome AI Agents consist of coding solutions, but there are also agents related to marketing, finance, analytics, productivity, and more.
Since we are not heavily technical users, we will consider those agents that require minimum skill set. And to make it easier for you to understand the picture, here is the list of agents for September 2024 (there are a bit more now):
Now, let’s explore five standout agents from the list that can help you achieve greater productivity (or even implement a new idea).
General Purposes & App Building | AutoGPT
AutoGPT is an open-source AI agent that autonomously breaks down complex goals into smaller tasks and executes them using OpenAI's GPT-4 model. It allows you to create new bots for different tasks or even generate applications and websites. It operates autonomously to achieve set goals with minimal human intervention.
Here's a pretty good real-life example:
A creator from X named Sully built a website using AutoGPT in just 3 minutes. You can watch a video of the process here.
To experiment with AutoGPT, visit its GitHub repository and follow the setup instructions. You’ll need Python installed on your system to run the application locally but the process will be simple even for less experienced users.
As an alternative to AutoGPT, you can try AgentGPT. This platform is available in the browser and does not require installing any software on your PC.
Agents Invading Your Mac & Windows PCs
Here, we have two solutions designed for the same type of tasks but different audiences. These are UFO for Windows users and Self-operating computer for macOS (by the way, also suitable for Windows). These are agents for managing your PC that you can run locally and give them tasks related to your software.
To use both agents, no programming knowledge or additional costs are required. However, you will need OpenAI Keys.
Here's an example of what UFO is capable of:

We covered a similar tool by Anthropic in one of the previous posts.
