A curated list of 10 GitHub repos exploring how AI can help build better versions of itself, covering coding agents, automated experiments, evolutionary search, and feedback-driven optimization:
- SWE-agent: give AI a GitHub issue to navigate code, edit files, and attempt fixes
- Aider: AI modifies code across your repo with Git integration
- OpenHands: build coding agents that use terminals, edit files, run commands
- DSPy: optimize AI pipelines via systematic experimentation instead of manual prompt tweaking
- TextGrad: improve prompts and multi-step workflows with feedback-inspired optimization
- EvoAgentX: build, evaluate, and optimize multi-agent workflows
- ADAS: automated design of agent architectures
- AutoGPT (188k stars): accessible AI agents for everyone
Together they sketch a roadmap from coding agents toward automated experiments and evolutionary self-improvement.
