Dev-GPT: Your Automated Development Team

⚠️ This is an experimental version. ⚠️

Product Manager

DevOps

Tell your AI team what microservice you want to build, and they will do it for you. Your imagination is the limit!

Welcome to Dev-GPT, where we bring your ideas to life with the power of advanced artificial intelligence! Our automated development team is designed to create microservices tailored to your specific needs, making your software development process seamless and efficient. Comprised of a virtual Product Manager, Developer, and DevOps, our AI team ensures that every aspect of your project is covered, from concept to deployment.

Quickstart

pip install dev-gpt
dev-gpt generate

Requirements

• OpenAI key with access to gpt-3.5-turbo or gpt-4
• if you want to enable your microservice to search for web content, you need to set the GOOGLE_API_KEY and GOOGLE_CSE_ID environment variables. More information can be found here.

dev-gpt configure --openai_api_key <your openai api key>
dev-gpt configure --google_api_key <google api key> (optional if you want to use google custom search)
dev-gpt configure --google_cse_id <google cse id> (optional if you want to use google custom search)

If you set the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY, the configuration step can be skipped. Your api key must have access to gpt-4 to use this tool. We are working on a way to use gpt-3.5-turbo as well.

Generate Microservice

dev-gpt generate \
--description "<description of the microservice>" \
--model <gpt-3.5-turbo or gpt-4> \
--path </path/to/local/folder>

To generate your personal microservice two things are required:

• A description of the task you want to accomplish. (optional)
• The model you want to use - either gpt-3.5-turbo or gpt-4. gpt-3.5-turbo is ~10x cheaper, but will not be able to generate as complex microservices. (default: largest you have access to)
• A path on the local drive where the microservice will be generated. (default: ./microservice)

The creation process should take between 5 and 15 minutes. During this time, GPT iteratively builds your microservice until it finds a strategy that make your test scenario pass.

Be aware that the costs you have to pay for openai vary between $0.50 and $3.00 per microservice using GPT-4 or $0.05 to $0.30 for GPT-3.5-Trubo.

Run Microservice

Run the microservice locally in docker. In case docker is not running on your machine, it will try to run it without docker. With this command a playground opens in your browser where you can test the microservice.

dev-gpt run --path <path to microservice>

Deploy Microservice

If you want to deploy your microservice to the cloud a Jina account is required. When creating a Jina account, you get some free credits, which you can use to deploy your microservice ($0.025/hour). If you run out of credits, you can purchase more.

dev-gpt deploy --microservice_path <path to microservice>

Delete Microservice

To save credits you can delete your microservice via the following commands:

jc list # get the microservice id
jc delete <microservice id>

Technical Insights

The graphic below illustrates the process of creating a microservice and deploying it to the cloud elaboration two different implementation strategies.

    streamlit --> user_run[user tests microservice]

1. Dev-GPT identifies several strategies to implement your task.
2. It tests each strategy until it finds one that works.
3. For each strategy, it generates the following files:

• microservice.py: This is the main implementation of the microservice.
• test_microservice.py: These are test cases to ensure the microservice works as expected.
• requirements.txt: This file lists the packages needed by the microservice and its tests.
• Dockerfile: This file is used to run the microservice in a container and also runs the tests when building the image.

4. Dev-GPT attempts to build the image. If the build fails, it uses the error message to apply a fix and tries again to build the image.
5. Once it finds a successful strategy, it:

• Pushes the Docker image to the registry.
• Deploys the microservice.
• Generates a Streamlit playground where you can test the microservice.

6. If it fails 10 times in a row, it moves on to the next approach.

✨ Contributors

If you want to contribute to this project, feel free to open a PR or an issue. In the following, you can find a list of things that need to be done.

next steps:

• check if windows and linux support works
• add video to README.md
• bug: it can happen that the code generation is hanging forever - in this case aboard and redo the generation
• new user has free credits but should be told to verify account

Nice to have:

• smooth rendering animation of the responses
• if the user runs dev-gpt without any arguments, show the help message
• don't show this message: 🔐 You are logged in to Jina AI as florian.hoenicke (username:auth0-unified-448f11965ce142b6). To log out, use jina auth logout.
• put the playground into the custom gateway (without rebuilding the custom gateway)
• hide prompts in normal mode and show them in verbose mode
• tests
• clean up duplicate code
• support popular cloud providers - lambda, cloud run, cloud functions, ...
• support local docker builds
• autoscaling enabled for cost saving
• add more examples to README.md
• support multiple endpoints - example: todolist microservice with endpoints for adding, deleting, and listing todos
• support stateful microservices
• The playground is currently printed twice even if it did not change. Make sure it is only printed twice in case it changed.
• allow to update your microservice by providing feedback
• support for other large language models like Open Assistent
• for cost savings, it should be possible to insert less context during the code generation of the main functionality - no jina knowledge is required
• use dev-gpt list to show all deployments
• dev-gpt delete to delete a deployment
• dev-gpt update to update a deployment
• test param optional - in case the test param is not there first ask gpt if more information is required to write a test - like access to pdf data
• section for microservices built by the community
• test feedback for playground generation (could be part of the debugging)
• should we send everything via json in the text attribute for simplicity?
• fix release workflow
• after the user specified the task, ask them questions back if the task is not clear enough or something is missing

Proposal:

• just generate the non-jina related code and insert it into an executor template
• think about strategies after the first approach failed?
