GPT Pilot ✈️ Build Full Stack Apps with a SINGLE PROMPT (Made for Devs) 

This is one of the most impressive AI coding tools I've seen so far. Let me know what you think!

Could you consider starting your next video with an open-source project, select a few open issues, and demonstrate how this tool can be used to submit a PR that addresses them? It would give a more realistic view of its capabilities!

Im a full stack dev, while the code might work, the depreciation warnings and request to manually add the bootstrap files (rather than import the npm package) indicates to me that the code quality might be very poor. This is incredibly cool but I wouldn’t rely on it for any serious projects just yet

We got a ways to go, but this is definitely the right direction. The interactivity and the ai prompting the user is impressive.

Great vid! How about a GPT Pilot vs. GPT Engineer comparison next? The latter has 2x the stars on github, higher commit frequency, active community, etc. You did a comparison a while back. I'm curious to how things stack up now.

It should be amazing if it could use another LLM like Mixtral or Deepseek Coder. Or a combination of 2 models, maybe Deepseek or CodeLllama for coding and Mistral or other general Llama for comprehension and planning.

Please make a general tutorial on using tools like this, GPT-Engineer, aider, smol developer, mentat, using the OpenAI API system, but using local LLMs instead. And what are the best Local LLMs (making a leaderboard) to work with them, depending on things like precision, stability and context window size.

Really nice. My problem is - as usual - no info about the cost of OpenAI for such tasks.

This is a great video demonstration of GPT-Pilot and Matthew does it so effortlessly ... which is a problem because it raises expectations that cannot be met. The truth is that this is an alpha version and is buggy, and depending on your OS and the programming language you use, it may work or break immediately or not work at all. The most stable is the combination of Mac OS and Python. Obviously because the authors code on Mac and use Python. What might crash more often than not is the VSCode extension on Windows. And it's not that good with frameworks. So keep your expectations low and don't expect GPT-Pilot to write the perfect fullstack application to conquer the world - it's not capable of that - yet ;-)

Would have been interesting to see how it handles postgres

As always very thorough presentation, thank you. May I ask if you can share how much did it cost on openAi usage for creating this app?

Imagine GPT Pilot with Open Chat 3.5 or Mistral!

Hi Matt! I really love watching your videos and coding along. In the last year, thanks to you and chat-gpt (and the others) I have really levelled up as a programmer (have watched other channels and studied of course!) but your super enthusiastic "Today!..." really really makes me happy and excited. Wanted to thank you for your amazing content and ask you to PLEASE PLEASE create an implementation video of GPT-Pilot with an open source model that runs well on a basic M1 Macbook Air (the stuff most of your viewers are actually using!) so that we can get a jumpstart in our dev journey! Thanks again in case do do it, if not will eagerly await your next piece!

I gotta say... I've been a product manager for the last 13 years or so. I have no idea how to code, but I understand the concepts and can write somewhat technical requirements. Even before GPT Pilot, I've been able to build entire apps using AI (first GPT-4, then Cursor). This looks super interesting...

I am a developer and it's unreal what it can do. Just imagine in a couple of years.

Curious how much it cost (meaning GPT4 API costs)

It's super good when you are starting a brand new project, but I am still trying to find a good one to deal with existing projects, I have around 40 small services under an NX environment and it would be amazing to have a code assistant to understand this workspace and be able to make modifications to it. If you guys know any good for it that I am missing, please shout it out :)

incredible !!! Well done Matt

This is great tech and will only get better, I have my own project that does something similar. I like some approaches used to interact with the human. It would be great to see in real time how many tokens you are using, and show usage in $ dollar amounts, and for debugging to see the raw api requests.

Hey can you share how much did it cost to make that app ?

Can you test a similar project (if there is any) that works with open-source AIs? unless there is a way of using this but with opensource AIs

this system has a ways to go for anything with even a mild amount of complexity outside of what gpt normally programs with (think slightly more niche libraries or frameworks with less documentation ) hell even just handling git control my github pilot tended to repeat the same tasks of confirmation that were unnecessary and managed to fill up my api limit from 0 to $3.77 with in an hour. it is a very cool idea and will work for most mainstream small tasks but then again I can do that just as easily for free. It will be better in the future and is immensely great considering it is open source.

This looks great. Downloading now and trying it out.

Aways enjoy your content. Thanks and Happy xmas. Terence Nelson New Zealand.

Unfortunately, after two days and 15 $ worth of API calls, I must say that I have been unable to get to build even the simplest web app, trying different technologies. For example, it constantly gets confused with the directory structure (which it builds as mapp\myapp\myapp) and tries to access files on the wrong level of the myapp-hierarchy. Or it just generates a file and then tells you to add the code. At this stage, it is a tool for experienced developers to do some routine stuff for them, I guess.

In terms of fake content that is actually just an unlabeled advertisement, this was pretty interesting.

Absolutely astounding! This is undeniably the most remarkable tool you've recommended so far! Your dedication and expertise shine brightly in your work. Keep up the exceptional work, and let's continue to push the boundaries of innovation! 🚀

Hey Matt, my name is David McCarty. I absolutely love your channel. You explain all of this A.I. insanity in a simple and easy to understand way. I have transitioned to watching your channel over all other channels for this reason. I am currently building an app with an industry leading company out of Atlanta however I won't be launching for several weeks. I have been approached by several people wanting me to build for them, but I am too busy with my own app to build theirs. This is where your video on GPT Pilot comes in. I have a few questions about being able to access key components of the app. Are you willing to help explain to me further how this program works like you better explain things in your videos? If interested, is this a good way means of communication, or would it be best to do so through email? Regardless of your decision, I love what you are doing and will continue to learn from you and enjoy watching your genius.

Christ, that was impressive! I am an old school emacs lamer, but this is seriously making me consider putting vscode on one of my Linux systems and trying this out.

Impressive. How much in openai API cost ?

That is the fiture of coding right there. Have a great christmas 🎄🌟🎁

I’ve tested it and I have to say that there are a lot of bugs to fix. But it’s still impressive. It’s especially good at building with Express JS.

Great video and amazing content!

Excellent demo. Love your work.

Man that was amazing!, and you are a monster when it comes to coding too 🙌👏👍

this is exactly what I was doing with AI already, but the workflow will be so much more nice with this.

Aider is awesome but this... Looks even more interesting.

Nice so essentially alter the API calls to use Huggingface and add say.. mixtral and code llama.. Nice useful program.

So I just started an Angular project, should be a landing page ... but never came because of mistakes. And the whole thing has already cost 3 EUR in about 7 minutes. So the hourly rate is already impressive: D and without knowing whether something usable will come out in the end ...

how does it help in existing app?

I've installed it from Github and tried the command line version and I think it's underwhelming, if not saying pretty useless -- constant struggling with the project structure, compiler errors etc. Designing the application yourself and just letting the LLM provide you with smaller, clearly defined functions is still much better than this.

This is amazing. Where will we be in a year?

Good coding solution. How much did GPT API bill you for this project?

I feel like in the future, folks will forget how me you and other developers use to do this manually. We might get a future where code is generated and people don't quite understand it since they were so use to the AI generating it. I mean for now there are folks like us, but what about the future? Kind of an interesting thought anyway.

has anyone actually gotten this to work? everyone testing seems to be stuck at making an account (me included)

I am a backend lead working in a startup . This is helpful for my upcoming saas proof of concept. 😂😂.

More Christmas gifts from Matthew..... Can't wait to unwrap this gift and play with it 😊.

I start it up, it asks me to sign up. I enter my email, then halfway through entering my password it navigates away. I don't know who is doing the navigating. VS Code stuff 🤔

This will help so you don't have the cut and paste can develop right there is VS.

I did get it to work, but it wasn't nearly as impressive when trying to use it with Python + Flask. Every step of the way I had to make manual modifications to get it to run. By the end, it had forgotten most of the user stories it had written. Like a lot of alpha software, it probably needs a bit more love before it's ready for wider use.

I hope this can someday join a project mid dev too.

This is freaking amazing!

This feels illegal to know 😂--SUBBED!

sign up works for me now. I will give it a shot and see how it goes.👍

step in interesting direction. Not there yet, but definitely worth observing.

I wonder if I can use an opensource model with this instead of gpt4?

stuck with the path issue, "the system cannot find the specified path". Does anyone else have the same issue?

Please show how to use a local LLM with GPT pilot. Otherwise I see how this can quickly get very expensive.

i wonder, if GPT Pilot can write project in any language or only specific ? for example can it create instagram clone in c++ or even in asm?

awesome but why is the Save button disabled for this video?

Simply amazing!

Older Mark Norman!!! You've done it again ☺️

This is beautiful!!

Wow, very impressive!

Nothing to do with your content but I thought it was funny..,. When looking at my YT page suggestions I saw your video thumbnail and said out loud to myself... "Why is Trent Horn on my page but doing AI stuff...?" (I follow both of you) Great video by the way lol

Cant create or login into account in vscode plugin... nothing happens when click sign up(((( really alpha

It won't let me sign up... Discord link is broken, can't find the server. What do I do?

This is impressive

Cool video. Thanks

Pretty cool

This is a standard app. It does not mean much. You could find the code online and copy it.

Great for hobbiests, youtube and as a coding intern level assist, but not for production code.

Can it work with existing code base/project?

Cool demo but it does not work in practice. Its crashed on me 5 times and i have a modern machine. Even reinstalled vs code to test again and same thing. I think this is just too early. But definitely cooltho!

it crashes like hell. 0 stars. Uninstalling gpt-pilot. Apparently it doesn't work for other people too.

Their vscode extension is too buggy for me, atm. It won't even allow me to sign-up/sign-in without spitting out errors.

What HOW MANY LINES of code were written in total? Over 1000? And how many files were made?

A 3 page app with login is 'sophisticated'?

holy shit! It's working good. 👍👍👍

Well actually you can do this on gpt-3 too this is just making the process easier and faster because you’re not copy pasting codes around etc. But I am curious if gpt-4 can make ui visuals. Because all it does creating the interface but it doesn’t add visual props etc… If you know anything please enlighten us ✌🏼

I guess ill just go back to delivering pizzas

These things are great, but anyone with enough experience working on real life systems will tell you, using this will become a maintenance nightmare - no real world application is build and forget, greenfield development is fun because it’s ‘easy’, the real work comes from extending, debugging, optimising and like and that all requires a good and understood architecture that you will totally fail to get using a GPT The real goldmine in these early days of AI hype will be the work required to understand all the code that these dice rollers have generated

I've installed GPT Pilot VS code extension and it asks me for python file giving no explanations, wtf?

Do youhave some stats of the gpt4 api consumption of the app you built? It would be interesting to see how many calls it did and how many tokens I/O it used

Love it!

More Amazing progress...

Can you start using it mid-project? Or do you have to start the project with it, for it to work?

First off - no support for signing in with Google, etc. Created a new account outside of VSC, made an API key, and then tried to sign in. Just sits there doing nothing. Definitely not ready for prime time.

I wonder how many tokens you used building this

You needed to know quite a lot for it to work. How long would you guess until you’re not needed to know technical things?

You should show the end product & describe what it is first - than show us how you built it.

is it limited to gpt4 or can it cooperate with any llm that is good in coding?

Needed new tutorial gpt pilot with local llm. I don't can find the settings of gpt -pilot in vs code plugin((((

Amazing 🤯

Hello, Would you be able to crate a video that provides the information about "Free" api keys from openai and there usage? The current documentation is kind of confusing and convoluted and thus don't know if I have an available "Free" use of the keys or not. I ask this because I get errors when trying to use the keys, even though I've never used them before... Thanks,

Off the topic, what was the name of the app that makes this effect you are using in the start of the video, had it before on iPhone but cannot remember? BTW, great video! :D

Cool, it can even do technical debt. 😁

What a Time to be Alive!

Is GPT pilot still available? Can't find it in VSC extensions

Did you try to use it on and existing (buggy) app? Does it seem to work in that context?
