GPT-4 Auto Coder Self Improver

[glacial monolith]

This will basically code anything for you and automatically improve it too from an idea or from code.
try it out here: https://gpt4autocoder.streamlit.app/

Here is a tutorial on how I built it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBQrdEoSbhk

Video features an advanced version which can start multiple improvement processes at the same time in parallel.

You can add your suggestions as comments or docstring to your code to be improved.

Modes of play:
-User picks an idea and number of iterations. GPT will auto generate code and try to improve upon it.

• Leave the idea box empty and GPT will generate the idea first write the code for it then improve it for iteration amount.
• paste or type your code in and let GPT add features, error catching. It also will try to debug it too for as many times as you specified automatically.

Fantastic!

@glacial monolith I got this error

[glacial monolith]

That looks like an error on the side of the API. Please try again.

[cinder surge]

got it working, for now, btw, how is this app possible?

the self improving I mean

[glacial monolith]

Nice! Glad to hear that. You can watch the video for more details but if you give it the code which runs this app then it would attempt to improve it. That is why I called it self improving. And also because it auto iterates to improve other code without human intervention

[cinder surge]

and how do I know which code to copy from the output?

ah ok

[glacial monolith]

You would have to decode yourself.

[cinder surge]

ah dang

ok, I got that error again

[glacial monolith]

This is great for when you have a function or an idea of a function and you want to add additional features to it and when you want to add error catching. And if you have a script with multiple functions. It will eventually turn them into a nicely organized Class

[cinder surge]

openai.error.authentication

[glacial monolith]

Try putting your key again.

[cinder surge]

I will just make a new key

[glacial monolith]

Key is stored by streamlit sessions. And it is transiently stored. I just keep mine in a notepad so I can keep copy pasting it.

[cinder surge]

ok

can it use libraries?

like PyQt5?

good grief, this is the best calculator I have seen yet

(text based)

[glacial monolith]

Yeah, anything really

[cinder surge]

dang, it keeps giving that error

is there any way you can fix it?

I just reloaded the page and entered the api key again

it's really annoying

[glacial monolith]

It is most likely due to the API returning an error. The app works fine.

Occasionally it will raise an error due to being unable to parse but that happens one in 30-40 attempts.

[cinder surge]

ok, but its literally unusable like this

[glacial monolith]

I am testing it on my end

[cinder surge]

k

It probably can't be fixed if it's an API issue

when it does work, it's insanely good tho

[glacial monolith]

Yeah I got that error already multiple times too. Maybe the API is overloaded now

[cinder surge]

is there any way to replicate this on the chatgpt website? the improvement process I mean

[glacial monolith]

You could do it manually at ChatGPT app. Take a look at the video. it will give you ideas. You would have to manually copy paste eveytime tho

[cinder surge]

can you just tell me?

I don't have a ton of time rn

[glacial monolith]

It is a bit complicated

[cinder surge]

fine

[cinder surge]

where is the explanation part at in the video?

[glacial monolith]

It talks about a lot of things. Watch it when you have time

[cinder surge]

:/

I kinda don't have the time, I honestly don't see why you can't just give me an idea of how it works

without having to watch a 20 min video

[glacial monolith]

you feedback the code with a prompt to guide it

[cinder surge]

lol, seems like the actual explanation part starts at 11 minutes

listen, ik you want all that watch time and stuff, but this is just a bit much

[cinder surge]

yeah, I only had to watch like 5 mins to get it working on my own

(I spent more time fixing up my prompt since I modified it a bit, but the actual video watching was like 5 mins)

[glacial monolith]

Glad to hear you got it working. The error I believe results from the code I found out after a bit of digging. It should be fixed now. thank you for mentioning it.

[glacial monolith]

Not sure why this error happened for you. Did it work well for you afterwards?

[grand forum]

error is still the same

[glacial monolith]

It is working fine on my end for others too from what I can see in the logs. Only thing I suggest is to check if your API key is still good and you are pasting the right key into the input box

[mighty torrent]

How do I know if the code works? I guess I need to put it in python for it to work right?

[mighty torrent]

I need some help

I made 8 iterations. Am I supposed to u se all that code or the single prompt?

[glacial monolith]

yes, you would have to run the code yourself

[glacial monolith]

You should see all the iterations

[mighty torrent]

The code should be able to work. Im going to try it

[final minnow]

Does the web based UI allow me to save the generated code?

Maybe allow zip download?

[glacial monolith]

You can't currently download the code but you can copy and paste it.

[mighty torrent]

Its an amazing tool!

[final minnow]

Is it open source? Also the language generated can’t be changed from python I am assuming right?
