We're sorry, because this is a demo, we cannot have our agents running for too long. Shutting down.
This looks pretty stupid, especially the "Execute task: Format date as a string" part that seems the AI got stuck on.
I though about a way to fix it, detecting when the AI loop on the same task like this should be possible to detect.
Then when we detect that we could ask ChatGPT to reformulate the task for ChatGPT, and add the reformulated task instead, if the reformulation still end up in a loop we can just stop the AI or ignore adding the task back.
Hi! So the problem is the agents don't have long term memory. They dont know about executed tasks beyond the last executed one and then they get stuck in unproductive loops. We are gong to implement vector DB integration so that should solve this problem. However we do have other issues in the list and would appreciate if you could look into those!
Hey, looks awesome. So does that mean they get stuck in unproductive loops for all tasks right now?
Hello, @Fox2Code @samshapley have you recently tried agentgpt?? if so have you noticed any changes to this behavior, currently our dev team is working on implementing vectorDBs like pinecone to combat these problems
Hello @Fox2Code @samshapley due to inactivity, please feel free to reopen if this is still happening !!!
