about

Automata's objective is to evolve into a fully autonomous, self-programming Artificial Intelligence system. Automata is inspired by the theory that code is essentially a form of memory, and when furnished with the right tools, AI can evolve real-time capabilities which can potentially lead to the creation of AGI. The word automata comes from the Greek word αὐτόματος, denoting "self-acting, self-willed, self-moving,", and Automata theory is the study of abstract machines and automata, as well as the computational problems that can be solved using them. Automata works by combining Large Language Models, such as GPT-4, with a vector database to form an integrated system capable of documenting, searching, and writing code. The procedure initiates with the generation of comprehensive documentation and code instances. This, coupled with search capabilities, forms the foundation for Automata's self-coding potential. Automata employs downstream tooling to execute advanced coding tasks, continually building its expertise and autonomy. This self-coding approach mirrors an autonomous craftsman's work, where tools and techniques are consistently refined based on feedback and accumulated experience. The ultimate goal of the Automata project is to achieve a level of proficiency where it can independently design, write, test, and refine complex software systems. This includes the ability to understand and navigate large codebases, reason about software architecture, optimize performance, and even invent new algorithms or data structures when necessary.
